After reading your post, at an extra-cost of 4.00UKP per month even for PlusNet Extra-fibre, i.e. 24.00UKP in total for PN's Extra-fibre unlimited, it sounds a better deal than BT Infinity 2. I will definitely keep an eye on this on coming Wednesday! Thanks

That Guardian article is complete garble . We now have most of the facts.

Plusnet Fibre Unlimited on your exchange will be £19.99 plus line rental which can be from Plusnet if you wish. As I understand that would save the connection charges.

The 8pm-10pm P2P throttling to 2Mbps will be removed.

You are right that PlusNet Extra-Fibre apparently is still 19.9UKP, if going for "unlimited" on/after this coming Wednesday! This would be a jolly good news for me if it were true on Wednesday. Your mentioning of PlusNet even has plan to remove P2P throttling during their 8PM to 10PM period, though I haven't seen it yet. would be even a better news on top of their "unlimited" adjustments!!
I will keep a close eye on that too!! Thanks

P.S: Does this new deal allow for customers still wanted to keep their BT lines rather than transferred to use the PlusNet phone lines only? Is it still the suggested 19.9UKP per month for "unlimited" even for keeping the BT phone lines??

Unlimited will not have any rate limits applied. There are Ofcom rules these days that prevent you from selling a service as truly Unlimited if you explicitly rate limit certain traffic. We've invested heavily in additional capacity ahead of this launch and the prioritisation that protects time sensitive traffic like gaming, streaming and VoIP will still be in place.

There's no FUP and Home Phone isn't compulsory. It will influence how much a new customer pay for line activation though.

In other words as now re the Home Phone. There is an FTTC activation charge of £50 at the moment if you leave your phone rental elsewhere, which is not charged if you take PN line rental. I don't know if it will be the same figure or not.

The website is supposed to be changing on the day, and the ordering procedures are expected to be in place.

Will check their website on that day, many thanks!! Sorry about hijacked this initial post as well!

Also see this post. Half way through it are the new connection charges. Note the sentence following the list as well.
