Not for me thought.
What is really worrying me, is the highest quality of service and highest speed could be a problem (heavy congestion on the plusnet network) if many plusnet customers switch over to unlimited and start thrashing out heavy bandwidth by downloading all day. Scary at the moment but I do hope plusnet will put a sensible traffic management for unlimited to ensure no ones abused heavy usages.

What's the reason why I shouldn't change?

No traffic management!
LOL (As our glorious leader would say).

I believe that previously Plusnet guaranteed to equal any comparable offering from a competitor.
As a BT shareholder I'd like to know why you are giving money to the plebs.
(and less for me).

Then we'd all get the speed we connect at.

Quote from: Estragon Yes Max. It would be a good idea as well if OfCom made them design a new transmission protocol so there were no losses due to ATM and TCP/IP overheads. The clever boffins shouldn't have any problem doing that these days.
Then we'd all get the speed we connect at.
LOL.
I'll save you the degree-level course in communication protocols, but rest assured that there are good reasons for layering protocols, and having all those overheads - not least for making sure that your download arrives at *your* router and no-one else's. Those overheads aren't going to go away.
What Ofcom needs to keep a lid on is the *marketers* making claims based on technology that almost no-one, other than those clever boffins, understands. It is the *lack* of knowledge of the marketers that is the problem here.
Using FTTC since 2011. Currently on 80/20 Unlimited Fibre Extra.
