 IgnitePremium,VIP join:2004-03-18 UK | Ellacoya Poster Child Plusnet are a huge throttler of their customers, they are literally the Ellacoya poster child. Big use of the Ellacoya API and advanced subscriber management, however they have lacked investment in bandwidth so heavily that even priority traffic on their network sometimes doesn't have enough bandwith to go unimpeded.
The actual average usage is higher for most ISPs than Plusnet, they just throttle the hell out of their customers.
That said I do agree with them. As average data usage goes up unless either prices go up or cost of providing the services goes down accordingly then those currently providing the totally unlimited services will have to rethink. |
