BB & Home phone - / 1GB usage allowance

But I'm also thinking of moving my home phone and BB to Plusnet and like the look of the BB & Home phone - essentails package.
But it only has a 1G usage allowance - and I'm not sure that will be enough ( my present ISP doesn't provide a usage meter ).
There doesn't seem to be a another combined package with more usage allowance ??. ( No Option 2 or 3 ) - too big anyway - I might only need 5G - but that is a guess.
The site isn't clear - or I've missed it sorry - but even on the Teleworker pages it doesn't say what happens if you exceed the allowance. I've found in the Member centre that you can add extra capacity in blocks - so is there a similar facity with
the BB & Home phone - package.
many thanks

You can opt to pre-pay extra GB on the Essentials package for £1/GB if you know approximately how much "extra" you are likely to use.
If you're not sure, you can opt for a PAYG model, which will add additional GBs at £1.25 each as required.
You can also set a 'cap' on how much extra you would like to pay.
Once your inclusive allowance is used up, and assuming you have NOT opted to post-pay, then your line will be restricted to 128K at all times until your next billing date.
Useful link for this information is available here

However, you need to take the standard evenings and weekends or Anytime+ phone packages - the E+W package gives you inclusive landline calls (to 01,02 and 03 numbers) from 6pm each day and all weekend. The Anytime+ package would give you inclusive landline calls (01,02,03 nos.) all day, every day.
You could then combine your phone package with, say BBYW option 1 which would give you 2GB of inclusive usage (for the basic subscription). This would work out at £19.98 if you took the E+W phone package.
Remember that the essentials phone package only gives you inclusive calls at the weekends (all calls are charegeable through the week) and the call set up cost for those calls is slightly higher (6p as opposed to 4.5p on the other packages - it doesn't apply to inclusive calls though).
All of the broadband packages allow you to add extra usage in advance (cheaper if you know how much you're going to need) or in arrears.

Just what I needed to know
I did try to search the website - but I either missed it - or it's not obvious.
thanks again - I think I will be signing up.

Is this what is referred to as the Anytime (as opposed to Anytime+) package?
Where can I find the Terms and conditions? How much is it?
My switch to Homephone E&W was confirmed today. Would it still be possible to switch to the older package if I wanted to?

I should have signed up earlier I suppose to get the Anytime package, so unless someone from Plusnet responds that the 'special offer from Mand' is still available, I'll just have to stick with what I've got.

From reading the threads and the links therein is appears that the call charges are the same, the only change would be to swap unlimited evening and weekend calls for a finite monthly allowance of 240 minutes. The savings may be marginal, but as a low user with most calls being daytime but less than £5 per month (SWMBO ringing from home to me at work), the Anytime+ is not good value and will only encourage SWMBO to ring me more!
So I've PM'd Mand as you suggested, awaiting a reply.
