It would be,

A very brave person who would sign up with PN atm.

It might look a low price, but how can you get any feedback on the service?
As it's a completely different business mode, no good asking current customers.

Current customers can only base their views on a limited measured service.

Will it attract P2P users, other large file downloaders, and people who use to download overnight
will now just download at peak times.

What happens if after a month you find your browsing on the go slow. what can you do?
Wait another 17 months, then move. frown

Hi there,

You can get comparisons from customers upgrading (or will do over the next few days I imagine smile).

I don't think the service will attract people who want to download P2P and Usenet 24/7, as the rate limits at peak times will not appeal to these types of customers.

Browsing and time sensitive protocols are prioritised on the new products as they are on all of our old products, so the slow browsing should not be an issue.

Hopefully there won't be any problems, but if you were so sure why put the terms up to 18 months? wink

No idea of their specifics, but in the face of people possibly using PN as a stopping off point until the next best LLU deal appears is it no surprise.

The competition has been slowly increasing, and even things like free laptops with mobile dongles are probably having an effect

You admit there are limits yet you still call it unlimited, interesting.

There's no point trying to hide the fact that there is management in place, no. What would the purpose be?

We've been fairly clear about rate limits and such like in the past, why would now be any different?

That doesn't change the fact that you can download as much as you like, and there is no usage cap.

Maybe it's time for contract lengths to be investigated?

Given one month is still available elsewhere, Ofcom will likely conclude it is just free market operation
i.e. better usage equals longer contract, more expensive equals shorter contract

Look at the mobile market, and has OFT/Ofcom moved on the vastly more complex and sometimes longer contract/rebate/lockin schemes that exist

I am sorry - I think 18 months contract is far too long for broadband. It okay for mobile phone cos they never had any problem with network issues but broadband can be a hell lots of problem.
