We are currently paying 15.99 a month for plusnet unlimited broadband and i see that plusnet premium is still 15.99 a month BUT with adsl2 capabilities (i.e up to 9mbs instead of 6.5) . Will upgrading to premium incur any cost? Surely it would be in our interest to do so?
Thanks

there is no charge to change.
depends on how much you intend to down load see here http://www.kitz.co.uk/isp/plusnet_shaping.htm you can look at the two side by side.
does your exchange have ADSL2 ? http://www.samknows.com/broadband/search.php
dont be surprised if this gets moved to Community support

I personally do a good bit of gaming and like the idea of prioritised service for gaming!
It has an ofcom classification of market 3.
So basically if i upgrade to premium i will see no change to my billing but will consequently see better up/down speeds? Sounds like a good deal right?

the proioty of gaming is titanium on both preminum and unlimited, the only diffrence being that unlimited has a 2mb speed cap on the download. ive never had issues with the speed cap on unlimited and i changed from unlimited max preminum (dont get that confused with the preminum package your talking about here) which has a higher prioity over the BTw network to unlimited over 21cn adsl2 last april

all thoe unlimited has a 2mb speed cap limit, the prioity gaming gets is the same on all packages.
basically see the prioity as a queue, if all prioitys are waiting in line to get over the PN network the titanium (gaming packets) get through first before any streaming (gold) or p2p (bronze) packets.
if your peak time usage between 8am and midnight is around 80gb or less on unlimited the the preminum package should be fine for you, you may want to check the midnight latency thread out thoe before you make the move to 21cn as this issues is still on going http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,80166.128.html

also check your line stats, if you post your attention, snr/noise margin and sync speeds we can give an est of what speeds you should see from adsl2 /ads2+
to get at your line stats http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/frogstats.php
input your line atten here and it will guide you to the speeds you should see http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/max_speed_calc.php it works on a default noise margin of 6db so works the max possable speed you could see

Quote was just about to signup for the Premier service when I noticed the price has suddenly gone up from the £15.99 mentioned here and now it is £19.99 after 3 months.
If you are not in a low-cost(Market 3) area then yes, its £19.99 after 3 months, it always has been. It's only £15.99 in a Market3 area.

I thought it was all a bit peculiar.
All the best to the entire Plusnet crew.
