Top news !! I knew it would happen eventually, when I left Sky TV (although currently on a free 4 month all channels offer thanks Mr Murdock) I didn't want to leave my phone line with them and wanted back to a BT based product. As Plusnet allowed you to retain your Sky number I went with the Plusnet 60gb product. It's been close a couple of months since I can back but will be so much better to not have to think about it again !!

I will be signing up 1st thing Wednesday.

Yes I am very pleased about it also. I did sign up to plusnets fibre extra package (250gb usage), at the begining of November. With my install date set for 31st December (being the only time I really could be there, working at a school). I've been told i'll be able to switch to the unlimited when my 250gb usage resets on the 28th January.
I mean why not get unlimited for same price as the 250gb (even though I doubt I would gone over the 250gb usage a month).

if usenet and peer to peer are unrestricted, which would be the cheapest option for me?

Im currently on the 250gb package with the pro addon

so assuming p2p and usenet is unrestricted, the addon would be redundant?

Would my current or the new one be cheaper?

...but still expensive if you are on Market 1 exchange!!

Wow great news, was thinking of moving at some point in the future but we are heavy internet users and would hate to be limited! Thanks for the info update!

Plusnet are charging the same amount for unlimited, as where for their extra (250gb package). So it would be the same.

Not much is known about the traffic management side of things yet, you'll have to look at plusnet's community blog on Wednesday.

edwardw's is paying £5/mnth for the Pro add-on so it would be cheaper to drop that and move to the new Unlimited product.

I've posted quite a lot of detail in the lengthy thread over on our Community Site discussion forums. To save you digging through all of it, there's some useful info here.

Best regards,

Very pricey indeed. Although the majority of people find PlusNet to be half decent in the customer services' stakes, I find them to be rather aloof verging on deceitful and can't wait to migrate when my contract is up in February.

Hi PlusNet Rep,

I went from the 6.49 tariff up to the 11.49 one because I was just over the 10GB limit a couple of times - do you reckon I'd be able to switch to the new 9.99 tariff when it's available?
