I just changed from plusnet and was going over about 300 gig a month, not sure if I went over but may of gone close to 500 once with no usses, got maxed out P2P on everything apart from 1 game on steam that uses P2P for updates but on google it says many people have issues with that one game and theres no real sense to who gets it

Never slowed down once.

Seems to be.

I've been with them since Jan. Typically we use about 400 - 500 GB/Month, I've not noticed any throttling or other restrictions on the service.

Yes indeed.

Been with them since July 2012.

Moved over to the Unlimited Extra product earlier this year.

No slowdowns or issues with how much you download.

My family downloaded just under 300GB in the last monthly period.

PlusNet have not batted an eyelid.

There are no limits and no throttling. There is prioritisation of time-sensitive traffic over non-time-sensitive traffic, that is all.

I would say it's better but I know there are some that are vehemently opposed to it, however sensible it is. If you pay an extra £5 a month you can effectively switch off the prioritisation so that downloads can swamp your gaming and VOIP smile

That's the general idea, although you'd be unlikely to notice much slowdown in the download, especially on fibre, as Skype would only need the bandwidth in short bursts, and not all of it.
