Plusnet protect free or not?

It used to be free but now I see that it is £2/month which makes it £24/year, i.e. almost the same as buying it directly from McAfee.  What is the point?  Has anyone else noticed this new policy?

It is still free on unlimited and unlimited extra fibre https://www.plus.net/home-broadband/protect/

Having said that I wouldn't recommend it

I've never used a program purely designed to waste CPU cycles.

I did.  It's on your link that I saw that it was only free for 3 months.  Just scroll down the page and you'll see

Yes and on the right hand side under unlimited fibre I read: first 3 months free then £2/month

I can do better - since I took out 80/20 in 2012, I'm not liable to any price increases (according to the small print).

Re: Plusnet protect free or not?

Which is precisely correct

There are three products and this is the Plusnet Protect Costs

Unlimited (which is ADSL) - free

Unlimited Fibre - not free

Unlimited  Fibre Extra - free

Unlimited is an ADSL package...
