changed contract

hi guys a bit help is req
ive been with plusnet coming upto 18 months and no issues at all
ive been on the 80/20 package and use the net for the reg stuff
theres only myself in my house i have 3 devices online smart tv , lappy nd phone
so i called you guys lastnight and advised to change down to the 40/20 to save a cpl quid,  and theres only me in the house i never go near 40 not mind 80
i give the go ahead to drop the speeds and there would be no hassle if i did want to go bk to 80
now this morning i ran a speedtest and its already showing almost 40/20 while before i was hitting 70/18
i have noticed some apps are now slower loading up also more so poker on fb, also skynews taking a cpl of reloads
is this going to be the norm or do i need to get my 80/20 bk
thanks for any help

Re: changed contract

Re: changed contract

I went through renewal the other day and had similar feedback in the other part of the forum.
I was offered the 40mb download package (I was on 76/20), but he didn't mention the new 2mb upload limit. When I asked, he did confirm that it was 100% NOT 20mb still.
Check your emails that confirm the package, it should be listed what you've agreed too.

Re: changed contract

If the package you've changed to is "Plusnet Unlimited Fibre" you will now be on 2Mbps upload.
Available to all ISPs are three FTTC variants: 80/20, 40/10 and 40/2. Plusnet do not offer the 40/10 option which would probably suit a lot of people. The old 40/20 account which Plusnet used to offer was based on the 80/20 option with the maximum speed capped to 40 and so cost Plusnet exactly the same as 80/20 - we never could understand the logic!
