[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 855715, member: 196043"] I'm currently with BE (ADSL) and am looking to switch to Plusnet when fibre finally gets switched on later this month on our exchange. Does anyone have any experience with moving from one supplier to another when moving to fibre? I can't afford to be without internet for long as I work from home so I'm a bit nervous of moving. In the past I've only moved from Virgin to BE and that was easy as you could run the two services together with no downtime. Also, anyone got any experience with Plusnet's fibre router? I need to be able to do port forwarding to a few devices and use a dynamic DNS service. How often does the IP address change? The other concern is I am quite far from my green cabinet (about 650m following the roads), but as it is closer than the exchange (1.1km) I'm hoping I can get some improvement on speed. With BE I typically get about 12Mb/s down and 1.1Mb/s up. Hoping to get a bit more upload for hosting a Slingbox or two. If the upload limits and traffic shaping on Virgin weren't to strict I would have gone back to them a long time ago. [/QUOTE]
