The packages are as I understand it just product feature bundles, the
basic functionality depending on what you are paying for should be the
same. The reason BT bought plus.net is because they (plus.net) are
leading the field in personal account management tools, with most other
providers you have to phone them to instigate changes to settings, with
plus.net you can do most of this online for yourself for example
instigate line tests, set secturity levels for the web based firewall,
configure the spam filter change account features such as add traffic
bundles up and down grade your account, purchase or disable telephone
features etc. All of which of course means less of a need for telephone
support in theory at least. So while they do have a good range of
features they might not be the best choice if you want good phone
support rather than having to do everything yourself via the website.
Personally I've always found them very helpful and talking me through
making changes at an appropriate pace if I have explained that I am
struggling with the Website because I am blind but that is of course
dependant on first getting through to some one in the first place.

Hi patricia. I used plus.net to send an exe file to another account and
it worked though they do have a bewildering array of products to choose
from and they do in my opinion make it over complicated.
Broadband your way is only one product butit has various options within
it so I think it is more of a marketing exercise than anything.
I have another plusnet question which is certainly on topic but will
send it as a separate message.
Regards
Graham

Hi Graham,
I think George might have his wires crossed - the person in question
whose provider blocked executables was me, and it wasn't Plusnet that
refused - it was the Australian provider that hosts my personal email
and domain. 8-) Plusnet might indeed block executables, but I don't know
- and neither does George! In fact, my very nice and careful provider
not only blocks Windows executables, it blocks every kind of executable
you can think of.
Probably it would be best to actually ask Plusnet what they do. But
sending exe files as attachments (including zipped, or otherwise
disguised) is probably not the best idea, especially when there are free
services like YouSendIt.
Cheers,
