The engineer carries exterior grade cabling in his van which can be used for the Home Wiring Solution. So as long as your within the 30 metres he can run it outside. (I believe the 30m isn't a hard and fast rule either. Just the standard internal one I think is 30m long).

Connection - Plusnet Extra Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 53.5/15.2Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

So why didn't you go for the 120GB Legacy Plusnet Premium (ADSL1/2+) account?

Go to https://portal.plus.net/wizard/?wizard_id=20 and take the Extra Usage option.

Wow

How did you find that one! That is well hidden away. Is this a legacy product or is this going to be a replacement product? I am sure with competition from more and more Unlimited offers, upping the 60G would make sense.

Well technically it's a trial add-on to an existing product (I can't remember how much they are charging for it), but I would question its VFM compared to the 250GB fibre product. And once you have fibre speed you may change your mind about not needing it!

I'm inclined to agree that when the difference is only three pounds then there seems little reason not to go fibre speed and get double the download limit.
Seems like plus net have missed the point here. Why not change their punitive 5gb for a fiver when you go over the limit to a fiver for another 120gb? This is often criticised when reviewing their offering.

When it costs them £30 to £40 per Mbps above contract over a month, you can see why 120GB for £5 more not not be ideal for a company

To be fair, it's likely that very few customers even know of that page, let alone product. It's a tiny number of customers and enthusiasts (plus PN staff) who'd be able to link to the right place, and I suspect even some newer PN staff would not know of that one.

Thanks for opening my eyes, too, about it. I may have heard of it once but do not remember when...
