You mean only upgrading people to 21CN if they sign up for another 12 months? Lets hope not.
In Market1 areas PN are becoming less attractive to stay with now, this would be one more nail going in the coffin.

Quote from: Mad I really meant being upgraded FOC and ... are putting new customers straight on it where available
No, its says:
"If you're an existing BT Total Broadband customer, you can upgrade your speed at no extra cost, just by renewing your broadband contract ..."
So they are not 'put straight on it' they are when they agree to another contract.

I thought the Plusnet Value package offers a deal that is hard to beat in Market Area 1. Perhaps you were thinking of Unlimited (=Unmetered)?

"If you're a new customer and up to 20Mb broadband is already available in your area, then you will get it with any new BT Total Broadband Option."

Quote you can upgrade your speed at no extra cost
What speed upgrade! I tried the BT site , put in my phone details and it says I should get 5.0 Mbps on ADSL2+ , wow!!!
Odd, because I currently sync at 8Mbps. They dont seem to be offering much, or are being very conservative about likely speeds...
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

They'd be better of saying "upgrade to 21CN" rather than "upgrade your speed".

Guess what sync rate 4,000kbps IP profile 3,500 kbps
Quote Broadband checker results
We have tested your line to see what speed is available for you and our tests confirm that your line supports BT Total Broadband. We estimate your maximum connection speed to be 3.0Mbps. This is the fastest speed your line can support.
If you're a new customer sign up to BT Total Broadband now or order a package which includes BT Total Broadband.
If you're an existing BT Total Broadband customer, whilst up to 20Mb will be available in your area, you are already recieving (sic) the fastest speed your line can support.
Just to add BT can't spell either

Well with LLU performing better than 21CN it makes sense for BT to offer the upgrade for nothing. It's such a shame that plusnet aren't an LLU provider.

I think this is a case of waiting for BT to get it all sorted out 99% before leaping on board
[Edit: - reading again - just want to say I'm not knocking the trial - it's great that people are trying it out and of couse PN providing the facilities.
Just that we have a good solid 6.5M where we are and don't need any faster for what we do at the moment.
