Browsing the web, gaming, chatting, a few downloads, i mean most demos are over 500mb now. It not hard to break a 5GB cap.

Been put on level 3 now. 15kbs down and 10kbs up, WOOHOO

Just got an email from them after complaining about only transfering 7gb in a month and why i had been restricted apparently it was an error quality system plusnet if it does not even no who really is downloading vast amounts.

It is as bad as the BT guessometer lol what a joke this isp is now becoming

Hero to zero very fast :rolleyes:

So glad I left but please dont leave plusnet if u jump onto my isp "Withheld" then they too will proberly restrict usage and add some form of trafficing.

Plusnets evil, if u remember at the beginning when they were about to introduce the policy, everyone threw a fit and there customer service department literally died....Not only was it confusing it didnt make sense and then they canceled it and didnt tell anyone they canned it in the end!

They they re-introduced it...... ups and downs and lies and sneaky stuff from a once good ISP. Even Pipex is going down that road, and I thought they were smaller then Plusnet but there even bigger!

As long as you dont join my ISP then its fine

Why do you all give this company your hard earned cash then? Are you tied in to some kind of contract? There are so many others out there that don't shape or when they do it's much less restrictive than Plus Net
