Finally got round to signing up to plusnet this morning Fibre Extra + Anytime calls. I don't like online sign ups, so I had been waiting for a day off to make a call and am now glad that I did.
Extremely polite and helpful sales guy went away and checked the traffic management policy for me (either that or a fag break as he took nearly 10 mins). I wanted to determine the difference between Value with a Pro add on or straight forward Extra Fibre, other than maximum bandwith which is not that important to me as I already receive 38Mpbs.
I was wanting to ensure I pre empted the auto renewal with BT in November. He assured me that BT could not auto renew my contract any longer and that I had to do nothing at all.
Hence countdown begins. I am confident everything will sail through connection wise, but I'm still half expecting some sort of cock up from BT in the billing department. That is the main reason for signing up with Plusnet instead of them.
And BigUp to Nathan in sales. Very helpful, extremely efficient. Well done.

The allowance?
Also, if you are on 38Mbps now, Extra is "up to 80Mbps" sync.

Connection - Plusnet Extra Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 57.4/14.6Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

He's right, BT made it so auto-renewing contracts would not auto-renew after last December, because of Ofcom rules.

250GB if I remember correctly.

And it's funny you should mention it, because I already knew that so didn't notice when he didn't mention it to me on signing up. Then half an hour or so later, he rang back to tell me that he had forgotten to mention the speed increase and I should be in line for 56 Mbps. Excellent service already as far as I'm concerned.
And a BigUp to Aquiss as well for giving me a MAC code without hesitation, within the hour in fact.

'Twas a rhetorical question about the allowance. Rather major not to have been mentioned LOL.

I moved to PN with the same package as you in September and its been faultless. I am very pleased with the way the it was dealt with. I did an online sign up but had previously pm'd one of the staff through here.
My connection speed has been steadily rising since joining and I am now getting over 5Mb more down speed than with my previous supplier on fibre.
Well done PN

I appreciate that traffic can be slowed, and why, but when looking at Extra and Fibre Extra, saw
Level of speed reduction? : 256Kb/s across all traffic types
Now, I know this actually means that you're limiting traffic (peer-to-peer and USENET) to 256 kbps (though the usergroup link suggests 2 Mbps) but it sounds from the word reduction as if that's not the actual speed someone gets for such traffic, but a change from their original speed. Perhaps that needs to be explained with different wording?
Perhaps you can clarify whether one gets 2 Mbps or 256 kbps, and while I'm in a questioning frame of mind, was I mistaken to think the Premium account offered 80 GB/month (though maybe it started at 120 GB/month - the figures are on the usergroup comparison, so again, not directly a PlusNet plc problem).
I only ask about the 120 GB because from memory I think I got 'only' 80 GB before changing at a later date to the 60 GB 'Extra' account. Am looking forward to my exchange getting FTTC and 250 GB a month... have to be careful to stick within 60 GB a month even though I am often up all night!

I don't know where you got the 256kbps from as according to this it is 2Mb between 8 - 10pm and isn't restricted at other times http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/speed_guide/do...
The only time you are limited to 256kbps is if you set an extra spend limit and you have reached the usage limit for your product
