Firstly, my experience with Plusnet is very good, and I can tell you that when 
I changed from my old package with them, to one of their "broadband your way" 
packages, there was no loss of connection, so I hope that is reassuring.

I would suggest you look at their "broadband your way" packages, and see which 
best meets your usage. Off-peak is between midnight and 8 am, but on the 
cheaper BYW packages, there are speed restrictions at different times of the 
day, but I have found these not to be especially noticeable, but I guess it all 
depends on how much downloading you do, and what times; I understand the 
dearest package to offer top speeds at all times, but you can confirm all this 
for yourself by reading up on what they offer, they are very transparent, and 
do tell what speeds they offer and when, in a 24 hour period.

I've been with them for several years now, and although have thought about 
changing, am glad over all that I haven't, they are good value, and customer 
service and support is very good, from the few times I have had to make use of 
it.

Good luck -

Andy

  Hi

  I've been on the plusnet website and have looked at their packages as it 
were, I can't find mine anywhere, premier option 1, am I right in thinking this 
is no longer offered.

  There are two I'm interested in, one that gives top speeds at all time but 
the monthly download limit seems to be fifteen gigs, the other is the same 
price and gives thirty gigs, this however says nothing about top speeds, am I 
right in thinking that this one doesn't offer top speeds at all times?

  Their off peak hours now seems to be from midnight to some time in the 
morning, I'm thinking that the rest of the time is part of the peak times and 
is counted in your monthly allowance?

  If I were to change isp how long is it likely I'd be without net connection? 
I've heard it can be weeks?

  Thanks
