Where did you see that? 120GB would be ideal

What with Ipads and Ipods downloading the same content over and over from say YouTube and online TV starting to take off things will only get worse.
I am probably going to take the the "trial" but it really ought to be included in the price considering the competition are offering unlimited on their value products.

I get what people are saying about the likes of tablets that don't cache content or to which content is streamed but to me that is a product design fault. At its core its not green as there are power considerations of hitting stuff more than once when not really necessary and to be honest the way these services work it is unreasonable to expect them to grow fatter and fatter at the expense of people who would rather pay for less traffic but better bandwidth (there is a difference though some people see them as synonymous) .
There is probably room for products to develop in a two tiered approach. You should be able to have unlimited free traffic at lower or redundant bandwidth (media streaming doesn't require the anywhere near the responsiveness that gaming or remote access to a virtual CAD station requires). The non redundant bandwidth should be staged at price points with you defaulting to the always on & higher contention traffic if you go over.
Just my 2p's worth. I appreciate other people have other feelings based upon their needs.

Quote from: Jonboyh I didn't even realise there was a usage limit
How the heck did you manage that? It is very prominent on the Plusnet website.

Just what I was thinking! Perhaps this shows the power of TV advertising?

Quote from: cnj39 I have the 10gb allowance which is totally useless. I would suggest Plusnet needs to review its products ang get rid of the allowances completely. Who wants to worry every month about their allowance being breached.. At the present rate it looks as though I will be moving to a provider with no allowance limit.
10Gb is fine as long as you're not using the internet instead of TV or downloading files. I think there are significant numbers of people who only access normal, non-streaming websites and even emebedded youtube videos are highly compressed and relatively small..
If it allows Plusnet to provide the cheapest broadband (are they?) then that's still viable rather than forcing people to pay for more than they need by not offering lower price levels.
