50ms ping to where ?

If within the same country, that's pretty terrible.

Incredibly, Plusnet
Nope, can't recommend Plusnet for the reasons I've explained before about BT, to quote myself....

The reason BT bought plusnet was for the IP associated with the CRM (customer relationship management) system plusnet developed that was a fundamental part of their BT Teleworker Business Broadband offering to BT's large and blue-chip clients. So I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole as the long term strategy is probably uncertain (i.e. their customers will probably eventually at some point be swallowed up into BT and the Plusnet brand left to perish).

I strongly advise people not to touch anything that has anything to do with BT with a bargepole !

All BT are doing is :
(a) Milking the Plusnet brand for what its worth
(b) Using Plusnet as a capture device for catching people churning away from BT Retail's ghastly products

Once (a) and/or (b) are no longer of much value, the Plusnet brand will no doubt be trashed, existing customers moved kicking and screaming over to BT Retail.
