    I was having this problem with Plusnet, They were throttling me back although they will alway’s deny it, after my accusation it went back to normal within an hour, funny that. All ISP’s do it. Use online BB speed testers save the results and hit them with your findings.

    Proper ISPs don't, but proper ISPs don't do deals or offer cashback either. You were using a poundshop grade ISP and you got poundshop grade service.
