Increased usage

[#1]

I pay about £17 a month for broadband. I understand that for a total of £19 (or there abouts) Plusnet will increase the usage limit from 60gb to 120gb. Something doesn't seem right here, it seems too good to be true. Am I understanding this correctly?

Hi there,
Just visit http://trials.plus.net (if you're not signed in to our website it'll ask you to) and select the extra usage option, that should sort it for you

[#3]

That implies that you are in a Market 1 Area and the change in cost would then be from £17.99 to £19.99 otherwise everything you say is correct
It should be noted that the increase if you are in Market 2 is a lot more as the cost for Extra is £11.49 - not such a good deal then  

[#4]

Thanks Matt, this is correct then, for £2 extra, usage can be doubled? Im not missing anything such as a 12 month contract?
Did you get my pm about resetting my 10 day training period now my line fault is fixed?

No you aren't - a good deal if you need it isn't it

It is, it's a very good deal.
Matt - I clicked the link you gave, and have gone on to exchange checker. It's coming up as Market one, and the cost therefore being £17 something with BT wholesale being the only provider of broadband services - see your page below:

However, BT wholesale aren't the only provider in my area - see website below:

Talktalk provide LLU services. Should I therefore not be in Market 2, with the lower broadband cost?
Not that I'd ever use Talktalk, I wouldn't

Ignore last post, I see it's marked at the bottom of Samknows with Market 1. I didn't see that.

The Market area is set by OFCOM and for some crazy reason they only do periodic (less than once a year) reviews. What they should do is continuous rolling reviews. I suppose if enough people complain to OFCOM they might do something about it.

I have upgraded to this product, and have had this confirmed. However, they say that it will become active from next months billing period, but I could really do with it activating this month as i'm about 2gb off my limit wit 2 weeks to go until reset. Is there anything you can do?
Thanks very much
Will
