My student son has been a contented customer since September. I was
impressed that they installed on a pre-existing BT line in 5 working
days and delivered their router on next day delivery.

I have only been with Newnet for a couple of months, but would highly
recommend them.

After Metronet were taken over by Plusnet, Newnet are now the ISP I
recommend to friends and family if they have 'moderate' usage.

No complaints so far, which is *so* different to others I support who
use AOL, Talktalk, etc.

On the other hand a sudden GBP13/month increase to GBP34.95/month is
ridiculous and he will be requesting his MAC code first thing tomorrow
morning.

I'm sure NewNet will not be disappointed.

Note that Home Lite is not touched - NewNet was never for those who
might 'overuse' the system. You certainly pay for what you get with
them. Very right and fair, IMNSHO.

They are still my recommended ISP of choice for those who have modest
Internet ambitions.

I guess that since Zen charges a similar fee for 60 GB a month, there were
too many users on Newnet who were passing a lot of traffic. If his usage
is at that level every month (and cannot be lowered) then it's a simple
choice, either pay the higher fee, or switch ISP. Seems that few who
post think that they can reduce the amount of data they transfer so
will switch ISP to one where off-peak isn't counted, or the charge
structure is simply lower overall. It's getting to the stage where
people are having to understand few ISPs can allow one to have their
cake and eat it - they must charge in proportion to the level of use,
and more important, charge realistic fees... Still puzzled as to how
EntaNet users can be allowed 300 GB a month off-peak for 20 quid (!!)
