Running out of peak time GBs, anyone sugest a new provider?

Hi, I've bought a smart TV...

Every Month since i've had emails saying i'm over my 20gig peak usage and i'm going to be restricted till the next bill..

I've stuck with plusnet due to the unlimited usage i've got from midnight till 4pm.(old package). This and the free web space out dive club website is hosted on.

My options are limited. Our exchange is small and way down the list for upgrades. Cable never made it to the countryside

I'm paying about £20 a month(!) Is there a better option out there for me?
I'd still like some unlimited time but need more peak usage.

Thanks for your help.

or similar enta/murphx resellers are all good (low latency networks). home packages are unlimited from 10pm till 8am iirc, business ones are unlimited from 8pm-8am.

According to them i can get their Complete 50 LLU ADSL2+ package. How is that possible? talktalk reseller?

Also it says upto 24 meg. would i get more than the 4 meg i get now in reality?

Ok, I'm back on this...

I'm thinking my best option is sky. Would the standard nonr llu package be as god as what i have now in terms of speeds?

Skys non llu broadband is a load of tosh.

Ok. Thanks.

I've just spoken to Plusnet and they moved me to 24/7 unlimited . Might as well stick with that.

It never ends!!

A message i've just sent them....

Hi, I've just changed to unlimited because i keep getting messages regarding usage.

What price should i be paying?

My account summary says:-

24/01/2012 BP00820765 Plusnet Unlimited £11.99(monthly)
Broadband & Home Phone products
Plusnet Unlimited £11.99
No Home Phone product

This email you just sent says;-

Your product change is now complete, here are the details:

Broadband Product Plusnet Unlimited
Monthly Subscription £25.42

This is your account type and monthly subscription.

The Help assistant message says :-

As per our conversation i can confirm i have arranged for your account to be changed to the unlimited package at £21.99

What are you charging me??

we have a 60gb package from PN for about the same price. Problem is the peak time is 8am to midnight. so you only get 8 hours of unlimited bandwidth.

Oh btw where did you find the 24/7 unlimited package?

I asked directly.

No idea if you can get it but Be Unlimited is totally unlimited. No caps, traffic shaping or deep packet sniffing. I pay £18 a month.

TalkTalk, though I hate them with a passion is your cheapest option...
