Plusnet changing packages and increasing prices
« on: June 28, 2016, 07:34:44 PM »

It looks like Plus Net are moving anyone on the 40/20 product to the new 55/10 product, which is bound to please some and annoy others.

Prices are changing as well, but bizarrely from my quick read of the changes it does not look like PN are making the 55/10 package available to anyone except those on the old 40/20 package.

Full details here

Notice they don't add "Customers will see a halving of their upload speed"

We're thinking of switching to Plusnet soon seen as they're prices seem to be much lower than BT's, any advice?

Not all of them will. Sure, some of the customers who opted for 40/20 may have been able to receive the full 20 Mb upstream, but those people would probably be able to get over 40 Mb downstream. Other customers will have not really had any choice but to opt for the 40/20 package, because they are a long distance from the cabinet, can't even get the full 40 Mb downstream, and probably won't even be able to get 10 Mb upstream anyway.

Packages for new customers are either 40/2 or 80/20.

I left them nine months into an 18 month contract, I've never been happier to get shot of any supplier.

I've been with Plusnet since 2003, only problems I've really had we're on my brothers line and a result of Openreach. Only downside of PN I can really think of is with support, in that you don't get one single person take charge of a problem, but I would think this is the same for any large ISP.
