This would never of have been possible on my old adsl so I have alot to be thankful for when it comes to Plusnet and FTTP
But here in lies the dilema, If I want to Stream unlimited lovefilm HD content then something will have to give way due to download limitations
Having FTTP on a 60gb downlaod limit is like having a Bugatti Veyron to pop to the local shops and back during a fuel crisis. I know I can schedule downloads after midnight (which doesn't bother me in the slightest) but that doesn't work for xboxlive, movie streaming etc etc in a tech laden busy family home. When a fibre product is fully launched next year please please please please address this issue. The future is here and on demand data intensive HD media will become "the norm" in every house inside 3 years time where broadband permits. Heck I remember when they said HD was just a fad, IPTV is not a fad and will revolutionise the way we intake media but your download limit needs to meet its expectations.
Also, I heard the plusnet radio ad campaign last night for the first time in Milton keynes, very funny indeed - especially the "good honest broadband from Yorkshire" bit (being a Blade and all ).

I didn't thnk they had a unlimited package,and as for midnight to breakfast time this is not generally when I like to stream HD movies or play XBL. I do however already schedule downoads/updates etc during this time.

I'd imagine you are looking at significant increases for significant usage given the abilities to download & upload lots of data. Plus the increased line rental for fttc/fttp.

You have read the FAQ for the Lovefilm on PS3 pages? It is a 1.6Mb stream, near DVD quality, so its not HD at all.
3Mb FTTC

That's really unmetered rather than unlimited – the nature of the traffic management means that depending on what you're doing, your 40Mbps FTTC line or 100Mbps FTTP line could well be limited to 1Mbps or lower.
