Anybody with plusnet?

Pretty much what the title says?

Anybody here that is with them and what are they like?

Im currently with adsl24 and to be honest I have no problems at the moment (touches wood) but because of my location, no matter who I go with I normally have to pay £20ish due to the exchange.

Received a letter from plusnet and ran a quote for my line and its only £6.49 or £11.49 if I go for the better version.

Only real downside is, ive never been on a contract with adsl24 and has always just been a month rolling one, whereas if I move here I will be put on a 12 month contract. They do state that you can choose not to have a contract but I would guess this would cost more.

So what do people think? Are they any good if you are with them?

Should I just take the hit of an extra few quids and stay with adsl24 if im receiving a good service anyways and not on a 12 month contract?

Any help would be much appreciated

(At work till 6 so wont be able to answer any other questions people may have. Tried to include much info as possible)

check out the costs for not being on a contract, could always try it and if its not up to adsl24 go back to them.

I have plusnet and always found them very good. They hardly seem to implement any traffic shaping and I can get consistent 5mb/s all day doing anything

The only that does annoy me is the fact that I have an 80GB cap and there is no way to cheaply extend that (if you go over they just add another 5gb for £5 )

So yeh I would recommend them, and their call centres are in the UK and its always been easy to talk to them and understand them

EDIT: looks like the maximum usage you can get on their contracts now is 60gb a month, I'm on an old contract which is why I get 80gb

Well im on 30GB now anyways so that doesnt bother me. I very rarely download unless theres a few good songs out. Only ever stream tv and videos and play on my xbox online so dont think I would ever reach the limit anyways.

Day off tomorrow so will give them a ring and find more information out, check what the speed will be on my line and everything.
