    Me too my Zen is live and working. However, I am starting to feel the effects of 50:1 contention - maybe I'll reboot the router today and see if that has any effect. From around 4pm till around midnight it feels like I'm lagging a bit more, and even P2P speeds aren't great but no where as crappy as Plusnet. I'm quite happy

    Cheers, Mike

    My neighbour's using PlusNet and I think he's not happy - like most people.

    I've been recommending Eclipse and have sorted out installs for a couple of relatives.

    Anyone else tried Eclipse?

    Just saw this thread and thought I should log into the PlusNet portal....

    http://portal.plus.net/view_my_broad...d_monthly.html

    WTF? This month I have had no PC except for my wife's laptop for the past 2 weeks and I am already on half my bandwidth "allowance"? I assume that my allowance is only 1GB despite being on the Broadband Premier upto 2MB line?

    Does this mean that when my new rig is up and running and I am playing BF2 that I am going to be shafted?

    Looking further through the site I used nearly 14GB in Oct-Nov so I guess the limit is higher.

    *sigh*

    Looks like I might be too. Damn bulldog and their inability to bill me correctly EACH month. Come on for gawd sakes, your a business yet you cannot set your systems to take the "direct debit" I've sent to you 4 times now each and every month.

    NO wonder C&W are in the deep-doo-doo if that's what bulldog are like.

    Zen, no limits, Migration supported and 2 Mb for a good price until my ADSL2+ arrives in June

    *waves*... bye bye Bulldog

    It's looking more and more like I may be joining you guys on Zen - I've had just about enough of Plusnet's flaky CGI platform, which is now the only reason I'm still with them. I'll migrate my sites and go back to paying a monthly fee, then migrate to Zen I think.

    last month i got put on level 2 within 1.5 weeks, tomorrow the month ticks over and i get uncapped again, its a bit of a joke, i to would move to Zen if it wasnt that im moving in 4 months for definate and i wouldnt be able to get a years contract. Can you get a monthly contract with Zen?

    im not too happy with Zen atm. Getting loads of ping spikes during cs:s and my connection dropped to under 512 speeds the other night. Fixed itself next day but if they dont fix it i will only be with them for a month.
