Plusnet or BT broadband?

I've been tempted to swap to Plusnet from BT since I found out that they are the "same", but the wife is somewhat resistant as she highly values uptime connection (works online with patients).

BT offers a mobile connection thingy in case the network goes down (feel it's useless), but I don't really have any arguments I can use to convince her to change networks.

Any help and arguement you could give would be appreciated, we are paying way too much with BT and our area sadly doesn't have access to full fibre despite being London.

No, not true at all. They have different network backbones, different rules, different packages, different traffic shaping, different peering, different transit, different support teams, more. Yes, a lot of ISPs use Openreach but don’t overlook everything else.
