Have you considered switching to Extra with the Pro addon
If your exchange is Market 2 or 3 it will be the same price or cheaper with 60GB allowance and on a Market 1 exchange it will be the same price

What is the difference between Pro and extra? what have I lost?
Thanks
Neil.
Found the answer myself - Pro gives me the extras like less packet shaping, usenet etc.

The current bare "Extra" package has the increased limit of 60GB, but restores the traffic management features. For market 3, this is £11.49
Plusnet have done away with the concept of a "Pro" package (ie a package dedicated to having no traffic management). They have instead introduced a " Pro add-on" that can be added to any of their other packages for the cost of £5 pm.
If you want to restore the "zero traffic management", you can take your new "Extra" package and add the "Pro Add-on" to combine the 60GB allowance with zero traffic management. On market 3 exchanges, that would total £16.49 again.
Take a look at this page: http://usergroup.plus.net/prodcomp1.php
You can compare the products as "Legacy: Plusnet Pro", "Plusnet Extra" and "Plusnet Extra Pro"
Using FTTC since 2011. Currently on 80/20 Unlimited Fibre Extra.

You can compare the products here http://usergroup.plus.net/prodcomp1.php
You have actually gone from £16.49 to £11.49 and if you decide to add the Pro bit for £5 that will take it back to your original price
The Pro addon will happen almost immediately after requesting it and can be removed after a month and then added back if you want as it is very flexible http://www.plus.net/addons/pro/
EDIT - as he said but he types quicker than me

If you were/are on the the old 20CN (ADSL1) network you needed to pay extra to increase your upload speed from 448Kbs to 832Kbs (subject to line conditions), regardless of the product you were on. This is still the case with the new Pro add-on.
If you were/are on the 21CN (ADSL2/2+) network they unlocking the upload speed is possible and free, again regardless of product.
Anyone being moved by Plusnet from 20CN to 21CN (which is happening in groups) normally retain their existing upload speed. So people on the default upload of 448Kbs would remain on that and need to ask for the upload to be uncapped. If you were paying for the increased upload speed this charge should be removed and you should be moved from 20CN to 21CN with your upload unlocked.
