So a little history first, when I was still living with parents I shared their regular ADSL BT connection, it was terrible for online gaming because as soon as someone started sending an Email or playing a Flash video (as you would do in those days) it caused the latency to the game servers to spike.
Eventually I got my own phone line and went with the cheapest ISP I could find, but they had latency issues also, except rather than spiking it was just constant. I switched to another ISP and had the same issue, so I read into it some more and decided to go with Aquiss on a business package, problem solved from this point.
Fastforward to now, being with Aquiss for 10 years it still delivers exactly what I desire but I am now in a position where I need to eliminate some costs from my monthly bills and am strongly considering putting Aquiss on the chopping block, because their business broadband and line rental costs are at £71.80, when I could get pretty much the same business package from PlusNet for £20 less (even more with the introductory first 24 months).
Aquiss has been very reliable for me, I never had to restart my router or suffer connections dropping and my main concern is whether I will start experiencing these annoyances if I were to switch to something like PlusNet. I understand they're both using the same BT networking infrastructure, so it SHOULD perform exactly the same, but I was wondering if someone with more knowledge could shed some light on what I'd lose out on (if anything).
In a nutshell, my ISP is awesome but too expensive and I don't have any experience with other ISP's and am worried switching will potentially worsen my online experience.
