1 edit | So there is a speed guarentee?
Reading the Beginners guide to Contention it seems that if I'm on a node that supports 10 MB/sec, instead of the ISP telling me I'll get "up to" 10 mb/sec, they're telling me I'm buying 2 MB/sec (with minor flucations) since that's my 50:1 ratio.
Which given the speeds they're advertising (2 Mb for £24.99) doesn't seem that cheap (like $50.00). | |

| There is no Plusnet 10 megabit/second product - the introduction of 8 megabit/second is slated for later this year. The highest speed product for customers is currently 2 megabits/second which is contended at the local exchange by BT at up to (a maximum of) 50:1 . Speeds of over 8 megabits/second will require the roll out of ADSL2+ - which I think is being trialled soon.
The entry level Plusnet product, 2Mb at £21.99, is excellent value in the U.K. (though the current poor U.S. dollar exchange rate probably makes it seem less attractive to U.S. observers at the moment).  | |
