Plusnet webspace bandwidth

[[TW]Fox]

Hi guys,

Is it just me or does this seem really stingy?

I whacked a few photos on my webspace for a post in Motors yesterday and I've now had all my webspace deleted (It's archived) for going over my bandwidth allowance. To get it back, I have to send them an email explaining why I went over my allowance and what I'm going to do to make sure it doesn't happen again.

All sounds very strange, but I guess if I've shifted a couple of gigs of files then its fair enough, albeit rather suprising for 6 photos.

So I check the allowance..

On my paid for broadband account (I pay about 23 quid a month for a paltry 1mbit connection so its far from a bargain) which I've had for many years I get..

250mb a day webspace bandwidth

To me this seems so low I might as well not bother. It also INCLUDES transfer by me to and from the webspace?

Is this par for the course or are they taking the mick?

Personally i dont consider it free webspace as I pay £23 a month and I could get just an internet connection for rather a lot less..

I would never in a million years use 7.5gb in a month but every so often more than 250mb a day is possible. Sigh.

£23 for Plusnet? Jesus I didn't know a budget ISP could still command that sort of price!

I'm still on it because I'm on an old account which has old terms and conditions meaning my 'peak hours' where the 15gb allowance applies are much smaller than normal.

Does it sound like I can get a better deal elsewhere?
