New Users get Unlimited Broadband for FREE - why not current Customers

I suppose that Plusnet does not intend to encourage existing customers to stay with them as I have not got any indication that Plusnet is going to upgrade my account to that for new customers who will now automatically get unlimited broadband.
I am stuck with a 60 Gbyte limit.
The connections problems I have mean I will probably leave Plus Net next May and probably go back to Sky. This seems a poor way to treat existing customers who are continually experiencing failures in connection.
If anything I suspect a better approach by Plusnet would be to see my contract as a promise of a MINIMUM service that they guarantee.
Also when they lose your connection it would have been good to get a day's unlimited connection but I suppose they are acknowledging this by moving towards unlimited connection for all customers.
Come om Plus Net pull yours socks up! Roll_eyes

No, you're not, you can change to Unlimited too. Assuming you're in a Market 3 area it's £9.99/month if you contract for 12 months or £12.49/month on a monthly basis.

Not quite.  I'm on the old fibre extra (250gb usage) package (signed up in November, but only connected yesterday).  I asked about changing over to unlimited 1 month into the extra package, and stipulation was I had to sign a new 18 month contract (which is fine only being 1 month in).

Sorry, I was assuming the OP was on the normal adsl Extra account as they were quoting a 60Gb limit. Yes, you're correct Fibre involves starting a new 18 month contract.

No you are not - go to to http://portal.plus.net/upgrade_process.html?memberheader=upgrade It will probably ask you to log in then click the Change my products button. From there you will be able to choose unlimited contracted or non-contracted (ignore the speed estimates - there's a known bug that means incorrect speeds are shown). The change will be made on your next billing date.

I didn't mean he was, I was just using my example.
