plus net fibre..

[A500leroy]

..Currently have an offer of £17.50 mth for unlimited fibre vs my current (ee) non fibre at £16mth, im not in contract with ee so is it a no brainer to switch to plusnet? My eurosport coverage keeps dropping out so im hoping it would would run better with fibre, im currently getting 17mbps plusnet promise a min of 30mbps.

Opinions?

See what speed plus net will guarantee for your line. They will give an indicated speed when you make your enquiry.

I’m with plusnet unlimited - and touch wood have had no issues - also see if a friend/colleague already has plusnet - and get them to recommend you - you get a discount and so do they.

I’m not affiliated with plusnet - just a happy customer

I have been with plusnet for a long while and in my opinion like everything service has gone down but overall quality is still good,all my time with them never lost internet but I will say buy your own router one supplied not very good

I've been with PlusNet for a number of years as well, ever since I changed to fibre in fact. They are pretty good I'd say. Their router is ste, I found I was having to reboot it once a day, sometimes more often. Now I have a TP-Link router/modem and I never have to reboot it. They are not the cheapest mind you and I do wonder if I should change, but as it works fine I always end up thinking about changing but never do.

I changed to plusnet a few months ago. I'm happy with the speed and have had no issues with stability, however the WiFi range of the supplied router is a bit pants.
Which of the myriad of of TP link routers do you recommend?

If you're currently getting 17Mbps via ADSL then moving to 30Mbps fibre isn't going to be a huge jump. That said it's probably still worth doing as the cost difference is often negligible. I used Plusnet until quite recently and found it fine.

I've had it for a year and I've never had to reboot it. It's not the cheapest but I'm more than happy with it.

I bought one of those routers when I changed to TalkTalk faster fibre (their router was pants as well at the time), and like you, not had any problems at all, a great wifi speeds and range.

Another Plusnet Fibre customer here, happy with the service. Interesting about the router though as I have had no end of issues with the WiFi, so will look into a new one.

Happy Plusnet Customer here.

Changed my Router for a BT Business Hub, much better than the HubOne

Do you have a link to this OP? I can't see it on the website?

Thanks

Was with BT for years and moved to Plusnet last year.

In short, I wish I hadn't. But reading above this may be due to the router?

What router shall I get to improve please

Been with Plusnet 4 years; first year with standard bb, then their faster 'fibre' (that isn't really fibre) service. Stable speed and no issues, neither hardware or customer services. Think i get around 35-40 and no issues streaming 4k with it.

4K only needs around 15 - 16gb to stream.

True, assuming you are the only one using the connection at that time. If OP has a family of 4-5 all trying to use the wifi at the same time, it might be a different story.

Coming to end of a second period with Plusnet. First contract was for non fibre BB. Speed estimate was at 10 MB down. I got in excess of that. Second term I opted for FTTC with speeds up to 38MB,down, and now up to 10 MB upload. Something not highlighted is Plusnet Buddy rates for mobiles. We don't want any data in contract. But we get a small amount. I get unlimited calls & texts. Swimbo gets 2000 minutes of calls and unlimited texts . And all for £6 each per month. We used to spend £5 a month EACH on PAYG for a lot less. Mobile is a pay per month, so it's a 30 day contract. With the urge to send all customer services to Asia, it's pleasant to find a company with customer service in the UK, where ENGLISH is the first language, and common sense and customer service is first concern.
