You are slow, it been talked about on here for a few days now.
The problem with this service is once again it is an upfront fee, just
like vonage.

Also, it looks like Plustalk will charge £3 less for more minutes.

The only problem there is that you got to have Plusnet as an ISP, also=20
is Plusnet VOIP a real VOIP or just a softphone?

Didn't know that! I've just moved from Force 9 (Plusnet).
I'm happy with my current arrangement anyway.
Why would PlusNet limit themselves to their own customers - or is this
just a trial with possible expansion later?

Because it is a way to try and get more people to use Plusnet as their
ISP. the problems my mate have had in the two weeks he have been using
them, I think I will leave well alone.
The strange thing is, when he uses their USB modem everything works
fine, but when he uses his router, he gets disconnected about 4 or 5
times a day. Now we know the router is fine because he have been using
it with BT. If it keeps disconnecting, I will bring the router over here
and see if it works here.

PlusNet recently implemented a idle cutoff mechanism for customers on the
Broadband Plus product. (No, I don't see why, but since I'm on Premier
I don't have an issue.)

Maybe so, but that would not cause the router to lose sync, which is
what happens. But thanks for the info, that is useful to know.

Hi,
PlusTalk currently allows SIP to SIP calls between PlusNet customers and
around a dozen SIP peers. This number is growing as we make deals for
peering with other SIP providers.
Launching this week will be PSTN Break In/Out for making calls to landlines
and mobiles.
We've taken the approach of launching the service in phases to put out each
part as the development completes.

Hi,
For your mate I'd suggest taking a read through the following
http://usertools.plus.net/tutorials/id/10
and
http://usertools.plus.net/tutorials/id/13
to see if anything helps, and if not raise a ticket via Contact Us on our
portal and the support team will be able to run some remote testing to see
if there's any problems.

He been though this, well sort of. He loses sync and have a word with
you lot who writes out a ticket or what ever you lot do, then the next
morning he is connected again and he gets an email from you to say that
it looks like he is online again and the ticket is dropped.
It was intermitant, but the strange thing was that the modem you
supplied works fine. It was just his router that was having the problem
and yet it was working with Bt and it worked fine here with Metronet.
Very strange.
