Possible to increase 60GB Limit?

I've been on the 60GB limit package since I joined Plusnet. I'm finding that it isn't quite enough and we are going to have guests staying with us for about 6 months in the near future so we will almost definitely be exceeding this limit on a monthly basis.
Is it possible to get a deal with a higher monthly limit (a la Fiber 250 GB)? I've been satisfied with the service thus far, and I don't have any incling to leave but when another provider is offering unlimited monthly limits for a little bit more than I pay at the moment I can't see myself sticking around.

Don't forget BT charge Plusnet on the wholesale bandwidth usage as the 20CN / 21CN are far expensive than FTTC. So, I think Plusnet stick and staying with 60GB for at least another year until BT review annual next year to get the bandwidth charge down or up.

Re: Possible to increase 60GB Limit?

Be aware that 120 gig option, if on a market 2 exchange you get charged the full price of £19.99.  Currently market 2 exchanges get the market 3 price reduction for a normal connection, but not on that trial.  £11.49 verses £19.99 a month, I'll stick to watching my bandwidth.

I think extra usage allowance will result to re-cap your line speed because it sent the submit order to BT to upgrade to premium product as the result of your current line speed will be changing by BT. So, beware of it! Eg: Upload uncapped will changed back to 448K.

Changing to the product linked does *not* send an order to BT, it's a product on our systems not theirs. Therefore it doesn't touch line speed.

Re: Possible to increase 60GB Limit?

Yes but why my ticket Question #60098378 say
Dear Mr .............
After further investigation into what the order refers to, I have found that when the order to change to Premium goes through it will automatically re-cap your upload speed.
Once the product change is complete you will be able to uncap this again, but unfortunately we cannot do it until the order completes.
Please do not hesitate to get back in touch online at http://contactus.plus.net or by phone on 0800 432 0200 if we can be of further assistance.
Kind regards,
John ...........
As I had request to upgrade from 60GB to 120GB earlier on today.

Kelly please read my ticket # 60095621, 60095622, 142514051, 60095830 and 60098378. Seem rather confused of my order to premium product as I thought it only just usage allowance change to 120GB from 60Gb not the whole of BT product change and capped upload 448K, is not right! Please investigated it Kelly,

Re: Possible to increase 60GB Limit?

Did you request the change to Premium via the trials.plus.net link provided earlier or did you open a normal ticket for this? There are only a few of us doing these tickets, so contacting the CSC via the usual channels wouldn't have had the desired effect as they haven't been told to do these changes.

Re: Possible to increase 60GB Limit?

It is just a product change on our side, and looking at the install diary (on our systems this tracks orders) it shows that the order type place has been for a 21CN uncapped upstream.

Yep, but it looks like you then called in too? If you had waited until tomorrow one of the guys trained on that ticket pool would have picked it up and sorted this out for you.
