Since my conversation I have read Jameseh helpful post - http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,80204.0.html
However, I don't feel encouraged to pay more for an upgrade to something that may not be of benefit

The £30 applies to the charge that we would incur to move you back to IPStream.
Your current speeds are unfortunately in the bracket whereby you may not see an improvement on ADSL2 and it's very difficult (read as impossible) to give you a guarantee of improved speed.
However, if you did want to move back to an ADSL service, we could just put you on the upto 8Mbps variant offered on the 21CN platform which should give you exactly what you're getting now.

Quote from: ASBO i thought as existing customers you had to upgraded to PRO or PREMINUM and request to be moved to adsl2+
Nope, PN have stated some legacy products will get the upgrade too, but they have not given a date for when that will happen nor the products that will be upgraded.
It should be Unlimited and BBYW would get the updates I think as it was talked about at the time. But that's my speculation only.

Quote from: ASBO granted its on the unlimited page but it dosent seem as thoe its attached to that specfic product
It is/was attached to the pop up page which appeared when you clicked on 'More Info' from the main www.plus.net frontpage which advertised the PN Unlimited account.

So am I but I'm beginning to think Premium at 80GB is more than most will use and appears to have better shaping.
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

BT charge less for it and the the "up to 8Mbps" products can be speed-limited.

Ultimately (and I stress this is long term), I'd expect us to move our entire base to WBC & IPSC, be it on the 8Mbps or 24Mbps variant (WBC).
It makes sense from a cheaper tail cost aswell as the bandwidth being slightly cheaper, couple with the fact that we have greater flexibility over bandwidth increases.
