ofcom wont let them cos it may inflict unfair competition on datastream products?

Yup, and we won't know what they are going to be until the 28th.

Because PlusNet think that we are too fickle to be able to take all this information in at once.

So my 30gb limit has now been removed & I can download lots more & I should have a better contention ratio while doing it.

So for £21.99 they're doing unlimited(ish) 2mbit? Sounds pretty good to me.

This page contains a table of what the old services were & what the new ones are.

ALthough they are still very vague about exactly what level of data transfer you can have, it is sort of unlimited in that you only get into trouble if your affecting others services. I think.

Upgrading from lower speeds to the 2mb when available can cost £14.99 if your not prepared to wait for the automatic update once BT have finished fettling.
