Switching from Extra 60Gb to unlimited.

[#1]

If I switch to unlimited from my current package (Extra with the 60Gb) what, if any, fees will I incur?  I'm guessing that I won't have to pay the £25 activation fee as I'm already a customer, but are there any others that I can't see or do I just go and change package from my account page and that's it?

No cost at all but you will start a new 12 month contract if you don't pick the more expensive "no contract" option

I was thinking of this, usualy when a product refresh comes along its worht switching to the newer deals, however at the moment the prices are as follows:
Plusnet Extra (60GB)  £17.99 per month
Plusnet unlimited £19.49 per month
So for a like for like swap, ie a 1 month contact you will pay £1.50 per month more.
if you sign up for 12 months you will pay £16.99 per month which will save £1 per month but will tie you into a 12 month deal.
From what i understand Talk talk only charge £6.50 for their broadband/ADSL element.

That is because you are on Market 1

My Extra (60Gb) is only £10.99 (£10.49 with referral discount) due to me being in a low cost 'Market 3' area, so the Unlimited will be a quid cheaper at £9.99.   The 12 month contract isn't a problem in the slightest, I've been perfectly happy with Plusnet and don't have any thought about quitting them.  Guess I'll switch it over in a few weeks, when it's closer to my billing date.

the switch happens on your billing date regardless of when you initiate it

Market 1 This exchange has BT Wholesale as the sole provider of broadband services.

ADSL: Yes SDSL:  No LLU services: Yes Cable: No Wireless: No Quote The LLU option is talk talk, so by offcoms own definitions it should be market 2, yet offcom dont seem to know their own definitions. I know plusnet are tied by offcom, but why isnt there more pressure being applied to the correct places. as it stands the likes of Talk talk can piss all over plusnets prices, due to the complete failiure that is offcoms market definitions. Three things should happen 1: ISPs using the BT network should apply a huge amount of presure to offcdom to get their finger out from their proverbial 2: the whole market review process sould be dynamic and reflect changes as and whe they occur, not just ever three of four years or so 3: Or LLu providers setting up in a market 1 exchange should face the same price controls as those using BT wholesale until offcom change the market definition. The whole market system as it is isant competitive against the ISPs as it doesnt allow them to compete of a level playing field, and against the best interests of consumers as they are firced to pay more than they should. and there was me thinking that offcom were supposed to encourage competition in the market place and look out for the consumer.

You are on Market 1 until OFCOM say otherwise
