    You also need to check which market area they are in http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/products/low_cost_areas.shtml#whatIsIt if they are in a market 2 or 3 area there might be competition from LLU operators and better prices available.
  • Just checked it's 10gb for £6 but since my parents haw broadband friends and family use a lot of allowance when they visit so will probably increase to £12 for 60gb

    Having not checked on this I've had to pay £25 on top :(

    Just a suggestion, why not stop F & F using the BB when visiting? Or perhaps they also phone Australia at the same time on a "free phone"?

    Or maybe your parents are happy with the arrangement & just look at the cost in the same way as providing F & F with tea & biscuits?

    Not for me to judge really

    It's £11.49 per month for 60GB if you're in a Market 3 area.

    Just thought I should say that market 2 customers also get market 3 prices now. That's automatic for new customers, and also for old customers switching to Value (10GB usage) or Extra (60GB usage) by request.

  • thanks all

    have capped last month usage, as i wasn't aware it was being used so much

    have now gone to the £11.49 60GB limit, is this a good deal?

    I'm on that package and I think it is. I never go anywhere near the download limit but it's nice to have the leeway.

    I haven't got a TV but with the Olympics and the European Championship coming up in the summer I know I'll be on the BBC website watching a lot of stuff. The 60GB means that I'll be able to watch loads without worrying about hitting my limit.
