    https://www.plus.net Broadband plus package is £14.99 for 2mb with no caps

    I know there has been a lot of press recently regarding their fair usage policy, but I believe overall their service is excellent. I've been on broadband with them since April 2002...

    I would suggest having a look at the Madasafish offer - I migrated to them and was able to give them a MAC number, which got me 4 months free. From their website, you can get 2 months free if you don't have a MAC number.

    Their 15GB usage allowance is £27.99 a month - which sounds expensive, but if you factor in the free months:

    £27.99 with four months free averages to £18.66 a month
    £27.99 with two months free is £23.32 a month

    I've been pleased with migrating, it has saved me a lot of money. I've also been really impressed with their customer service, which I can't quite say the same of my old provider!

    Would have considered them but they have a cancellation fee even if you stay with them for 12 months.

    Even if you're streaming from a very fast site, most web content is currently optimized to suit the more common, slower connection speeds, 225kbps eg. leaving most of a superfast connection redundant. 1a_y_shock1.gif

    What do Plus.net mean by:-

    Web Traffic (website download limits) of 100mb on the Plus package? To me that sounds like a cap on browsing websites!?!?

    Take a look at Nildram; no minimum period and they have various 2Mb packages 50Gb peak cap. Unlimited off peak. For £25, but you can get a cheaper deal.


    I was swithering between them and Pipex but Pipex didn't answer their phone.

    I want to see how this market develops so the no minimum contract is a bonus. Nildram also score very highly on speed tests etc. Quality company.
