Unlimited from Plusnet. Available to all from Wednesday 19th December ?

[#1]

Yes, identical to Value with reduced price in exchange for a 12 month contract.

Quote from: Bob

The pricing will be as follows: ADSL contracts are 12 months whilst fibre packages are contracted at 18 months. I'm going to stick a blog up on the Community Site shortly that mirrors what's been reported in today's press release. In the meantime can I ask that anyone wanting to ask questions does so on this thread rather than contacting the CSC who can't really do a great deal until Wednesday anyway.

Since re-instating my SKY+HD subscription, unlimited is essential, for On Demand downloads, without having to wait for Midnight.

Temporary sticky for better visibility

So for me on a Value package on a "Market 1" exchange (still not reclassified!!)  no advantages whatsoever   Still £12.99 for 10GB
Looks like a (reluctant) move to Sky when my telephone rental comes up for renewal so that I can use On Demand content without breaking the bank!!!

The pricing will be as follows:

I think the price for Unlimited Market 2/3 Non-contract should probably be £12.49. And Essentials, ditto £8.49.

Sorry for asking what may have been answered throughout thread:
I'm on ADSL2+ and have recently (as of 29th Nov) moved from Plusnet Extra with 60Gb at £17.99 to Plusnet Premium with included 120GB bandwidth at £19.99 a month.
Will the unlimited option be available to me and if so how much will it be per month?
As I say, sorry if it's been answered directly or inferred elsewhere.

Yeah, you're right. Not sure what happened there I've amended my original post.

What is really worrying me, is the highest quality of service and highest speed could be a problem (heavy congestion on the plusnet network) if many plusnet customers switch over to unlimited and start thrashing out heavy bandwidth by downloading all day. Scary at the moment but I do hope plusnet will put a sensible traffic management for unlimited to ensure no ones abused heavy usages.

Unlimited will not have any rate limits applied. There are Ofcom rules these days that prevent you from selling a service as truly Unlimited if you explicitly rate limit certain traffic. We've invested heavily in additional capacity ahead of this launch and the prioritisation that protects time sensitive traffic like gaming, streaming and VoIP will still be in place.

No more £45 bills when I get absent-minded!

[#9]

What about p2p traffic management on unlimited will it be resticted to 256kb speed?

[#10]

That will probably be a good choice for me. I will get more sleep for starters. Definitely worth a few quid more just for that alone.
Just have to wait for things to be finalised so I can have a read of the small print.
I hope that's done soon as bill time for me is on the 19th.

On Wednesday 19th December, we’ll be launching truly unlimited broadband. That’s the same great value fibre and ADSL services you’ve come to expect without any download limits or fair usage policy. Just in time for Christmas 😉

For those whose month end is before Thursday or after Christmas will an immediate product change from Extra to Unlimited be possible

Seems unlikely as on Extra at the moment it is 2Mbps 8pm-10pm and line speed any other time. Also see Bob Pullen's recent post saying there wil be no explicit rate limiting.

No, I'm afraid not.

Can't a change be requested in advance?

[#15]

No, a change can't be requested in advance. The new products won't exist on our CRM systems until the morning of the 19th.
