Looks like they've changed their plans.....

Re: Plusnet - Unlimited No More

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.

Re: Plusnet - Unlimited No More

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

Re: Plusnet - Unlimited No More

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.
