I notice that my exchange is also market 3 so value pro should be £11.49 so this raises another question should I be billed at £20.99 for my current product PlusNet Broadband Your Way Pro ?

Since you are in a low cost area would Extra at £16.49 per month with its 60GB allowance be of interest?
So if you want to move to Value or Extra with the Pro add-on you move to plain Value or Extra, then once it's active (next billing date) select the Pro add-on via the website.

Ok looking at some packages that might be worth changing too from PN anyway and I must be missing something here.
Firstly looking at my present bill, according to the member centre I'm on Pro 20gig allowance which inclusive of vat should be £19.99 plus I get 30p for recommending my business account so how comes £20.69 is taken from my bank? I have also noticed that on two occasions £21.99 was taken Oct and Nov this year but that vat change wasn't until January I think. Checking the user group comparison my market 3 exchange says £16.49 for my product so is the comparison tool out of date?
What PN has to offer currently and something that may fit into my needs usage wise would probably be value broadband and phone £18.48 inc vat with the pro add on £5. If the pro add on is inclusive of vat thats £23.48 minus my 30p referral money equates to me getting the same package as I'm on now but with phone included for £23.18 pm. Does that sound about right? The only loss I can see there is 10 gig of peak time usage but looking back over my history the only time I went over the 10 gig was when the playstation network went back up and I downloaded all my freebies.
Adding BB extra instead of value, leaving off the pro and weekend calls comes to the same price so in a way off setting some usage against speed.
Any other advantages/disadvantages I should be aware of?

Maybe at some point they started charging me the £1 when I swapped onto the pro looking at LLU operators in my area who appear to be getting faster download speeds for my postcode PN seems to be on average £4 more expensive so I guess leaving off the the pro add on would bring me back like for like money wise but with a more reliable isp.

The option I think will suit me best would be value with pro add on. I only lose some un-needed usage and save £7, but having said that is there much of a noticeable between the pro add on and switching to extra. I mainly console game at home and stream on demand players. All of my downloads are mainly updates for consoles and the games, very little if any p2p.
Ideally I would want unrestricted speeds anytime, not that fussed about usage and keep everything I have now regarding voip, domain for my house.
Business same as I have now including fax 2 email, voip but could do with the business domain on this account. Hopefully some one at PN can advise me on it.
Ultimately the point of the exercise is to save a few quid, paying too much for all entertainment these days Sky TV items are also going. I can probably gain a few quid by refreshing products. Trying to make as little impact as I can on what I have already but things have to go, I currently pay £70 pm on entertainment between TV,Phone and BB no need really.
I'd prefer to stay with PN's track record but most deals seem to come from bundled stuff on LLU providers.

There'd be no problem moving the domain to the business account as it's your business domain that's paid for. It'd be free to do so as well and wouldn't take us long.
The only issue is that the webspace on the biz account is 100Mb with 100Mb bandwidth daily, as opposed to the 250/250 on the residential account. If that's no issue then let us know and we'll get it moved (it's just as easy to move back if it doesn't work out with the smaller limits btw)

Quote Also going for value and phone is a better offer
Is there a price difference between taking just value on it's own and bundling it with the phone?

What do you think of the logic behind that? Am I missing something here or not because I'm assuming that being the case that extra was not a good package to be on for the console player but I don't see any complaining. Or is the difference between full line speed and restricted negligible and not worth bothering about?
A few questions I'd like to check out before committing are...
- My legacy pro package shows £19.99 in both market 1 and 3, my exchange has just been de-regulated so are any plans to reduce the price of my current product
- Do I keep the voip, domain and everything I have now if switching to value
- If I exceed my usage can I buy more on this product
- is there any financial incentive to take phone with the broadband
- Is the pro add on £5 inc the vat
I look forward to your reply, it would seem to me that if alls good I can get like for like connection but only pay for the extra usage when I have too.
