However looking at it I was struck by one thing - I thought PlusNet had scrapped all the unlimited packages

Hi Jim,
Three of our five Business Products (Teleworker Premier, Small Business Premier and Business Premier) don't carry any set usage allowances.

But they are policed with a FUP.
In practice, having a Business Premier account for the office here, I've never been formally or informally contacted by Plusnet regarding the usage on the account, which at times has easily topped 100GB in a month. I am aware of customers who have been contacted for using fairly excessive amounts though.
Also certain products such as Binary usenet and P2P are legitimately rate-limited on the business products so they're not necessarily a way to wriggle out of the Residential limits.
Still eagerly anticipating a business product refresh soon though

Having looked at the details - there is no mention of a FUP - is this correct
Off Topic - looking at some of the awards I question the methodology.
For example - Fastest broadband O2 but Be have got to be faster as they don't offer up to 8Mb and only supply where they have LLU unlike O2
EDIT

That isn't what the details say

But if usenet and P2P are rate limited then PAYG and BBYW Pro have higher priority I assume
Quote Network Traffic Management
Business customers get the highest priority service on our network at all times.

I notice it mentions free line rental (apart from Broadband essential) but that isn't the case as you have to have a BT line and either pay PN or BT or someone else for it.

Yes, but the price quoted is for broadband only and it doesn't tell you it only includes line rental if you take the phone package on top, which, of course, costs from £9.99 on top of the broadband price.

Just out of interest, what would business customers use p2p/Usenet for in large amounts of download?
