The £14.99 lite product has a 1gb bandwidth allowance (with extra gigs
charged at £1.50 each). The original £19.99 2mbit lite product included
2 gigs, and has been subsequently reduced to £16.49 (inc vat).

There is no curb on the lite products.

I think the question actually meant "How much bandwidth is bundled into the
£14.99 baseline price?"!

My apologies, I thought it was a curb questrion.

With the new 2Mb account @ GBP14.99 that will include 1Gb of data
transfer.

Each additional Gb can be pre-ordered at GBP1.50

kind regards

I am probably missing something obvious here, but why on earth would
someone want a 2Mb DSL link when they can only use 1Gb of data *transfer*
per month??

I mean, one PN user stated that he was getting 30-40Mb of traffic hitting
his router per day...with the PC turned off (port scans etc...)

I just for the life of me, can't understand what benefits there would be
above a 512Kb or 1Mb service, given the bandwidth limitations!

I get a 2Mb/s service for the same price as a 512Kb/s one, so I choose
to have the 2Mb/s one. When I *do* want it, it's a lot faster.

I find that hard to believe - unless he really did mean millibits...!

There is no limitation on bandwidth, but on data transfer. And it's not
all the time in many cases.

Likewise. I signed up for a 2M service because I'm impatient and it
wasn't much more expensive than the slower options. I would expect to
use 1.5 to 3GB a month on average.

And I do notice when the network slows down due to congestion.

Just looked at my Plusnet usage pages and Friday shows 9MB and
Saturday shows 0MB, and that's with two computers and a Tivo connected
all the time.

I think you actually mean 1GB/month, with extra cost for more GB.

Please get the terms correct.

It would be because PlusNet's 'view my usage' stopped working some time on
Friday...
