Questions about switching to Plusnet Unlimited
Hi there,
I can answer a couple of these questions for you and im sure others will explain the rest to you,theres no 240 free min broadband phone on the unlimited,if you put in your order now to switch to unlimited that would take place on your next billing date,there is a free router if you havnt already had one, but if you needed one im sure plusnet would be kind and give you one,you would just pay the p&p for it,you can switch between plusnet unlimited and plusnet pro as often as you like i guess,to whatever suits your needs best,and finally 2mb for xbox is efficient.
Hope that sheds a bit light your way

Hi Dast,
Plusnet Unlimited has a 2Mbps downstream speed for gaming. Is this sufficient? Broadband Your Way Option 2 had no restriction and my line speed is generally ~3Mbps.
- This should be perfectly sufficient. Online gaming generally doesn't require much in the way of speed.
Plusnet Unlimited has an 18 month contract. Is it possible to switch to another Plusnet product during this period? Would I be stuck with these speeds (for many services) if ADSL2+ speeds became available to me?
- We changing this in about a month. It'll be on a monthly contract, but there will be deferred charges for activation, house moves and hardware. If you cancel within 12 months of receiving any of those, you will need to pay for them (activation will be £30, house move will be £60 and hardware will be £29.99).
I currently have free 240 minutes broadband phone use. Is this included with Plusnet Unlimited?
- You can keep your existing bb phone package.
If I change now will I have new product immediately (& pay pro-rata for this month)?
- It's normally scheduled to your next billing date, but we can move the product immediately if you do not have Home Phone.
Finally does it come with a free router?
- It can do There would be a P&P charge of £6.99.

There are other traffic prioritisation differences between BBYW 2 and Unmetered. See http://www.kitz.co.uk/isp/plusnet_shaping2.htm
