Proving broadband usage limits

Having been a VM customer for 4 years I was getting sick of their price increases, having to negotiate, and then them sending something different through to what was agreed. I didn't do too badly out of it I guess. But they do try and charge a lot for their service.

That plus an indication that my area was heading into "oversubscribed" territory for a second time and them taking well over 6 months to fix that last time was the reason I left them.

When my promotional period ends (12m) I will be paying £14/month + LR which I think is good for a 50Mb connection.

I pay £12.50 + LR for unlimited fibre extra (76/20) from Plusnet on a retention deal.

I can't see what there isn't to like about it ?

The thing I wouldn't like about it is that it is VM with their car boot sale business model.

My winter average usage is ~ 300GB a month so limited deals are out of the question for me. Some of that must be my SamKnows monitoring box and I also have some stuff uploading weather data and satellite pictures to my website. Even in the summer when I spend most of my time in my holiday caravan using a 15GB 4G SIM the home usage doesn't drop vastly.

That's understandable if your a high user.

Plusnet weren't doing any good offers for new customers. It appears they like to keep their current ones.

But 25gb a month is silly.
