Phone service apart, have PlusNet done something sensible in calling the FTTP options

Full Fibre 38

Full Fibre 74

Full Fibre 145

The OR wholesale products are 40/10, 80/20 & 150/? with a bit of overhead reducing speeds. Hence when people run speed tests they'll get near their advertised speeds - and be happy!!!

I just got 37.13 & 10.85 abeit with a disappointing ping of 26.

From what I can see, these are the FTTP products we're offering. As you can tell, there's a pattern.  

36/10 (40/10 provision)

74/20 (80/20 provision)

145/30 (160/30 provision)

300/50 (330/50 provision)

500/75 (550/75 provision)

900/115 (1000/115 provision)

There is an approximate pattern - 80/20 and 160/30 are out of step (and not instep with each other) and a little more optimistic than the others! 🤔

Full fibre? Is it available then?

[#5]

For existing customers, yes.

[#6]

@ukguy1 

Only available by phone to existing customers currently.

Note there is no phone service attached to the product so you lose any phone number you may have (if this matters).

Its available from Plusnet now ... if its available on your street / road ... but not otherwise!

Hey Gandalf,

I'm on the original FTTP Trial and have been for yonks. Does this mean I can finally upgrade to a faster speed? I assume I'll have to call but with the fact I already have FTTP on the original trial confuse things?

[#9]

Oh [-Censored-], might move to BT business then as that comes with static ip and digital voice!

I believe others have already done that

[#11]

A further complication might be that I'm a business customer. I guess the best thing to do is to call during office hours and have a chat?

[#12]

@ecomergy 

You can but ask. You would need to go on contract so ask about prices. You at least should get a Hub2 out of it.

The real complication would be your phone line if you still use copper for this. As things stand you might lose it - @Gandalf might be able to shed some light on matters.

Not worried about the copper phone line. Not used it in ages. I would however want to port the number over to a VOIP provider for incoming leads from clients with old address books or out of date websites!

I'm on the trial too.I don't know if being a business account will make a difference, but I have just ported my number successfully, leaving the fttp service intact. Many others have already done this over the years.

You probably need to liaise with @Gandalf who babysat the procedure and ensured that the porting away of my landline number did not kill the broadband account.

@ecomergy 

Like @beeceegee the wizard helped me (and 3 neighbours) onto the FTTP Trial and then to cease our landlines.

It might just be possible to port your number and, once gone, then look to upgrade your speed.
