They haven't even got the balls to follow it through

Nice to see them making a U-Turn on this one, now all they gotta do is provide another 6mb on top of the fastest speed they provide and I might think about moving back

Cool - just what are they going to announce now then

[daniel_owen_uk]

Maybe they have sacked the moron that lost them all the custom by announcing the Fair Usage Policy and are gonna employ someone with a clue?

Currently 2mb is available for £21.99 and £39.99 with no difference in product (difference was going to be the ammount of usage), so they have to announce something.

Whaaa!?!?!!?

Result !

Always seemed like a daft idea in the first place, considering the competing deals available.

" Do I have to worry about how I use my broadband connection?
No. 99% of our customers are using their broadband connection in a completely sustainable manner, and because of the new approach you won’t need to keep an eye on your usage levels every month ".

So why did they introduce fair-usage in the first place ?

I'm currently on 2MB Broadband Premier, £29 a month. So on April 28th I suppose I can expect the price to drop

Or something equally as cool happen. If not, I'll change to 2MB Broadband Plus.

[Skii]

Well I'm on the 512 Premier, which I'm assuming will become 2Mb at some point over the next couple of months....

Incase you didnt know. E-mail was sent out today Plus have given up on the FUP thing. Seems they just mucked it up, leaving a user base confuzzled and with a loss of trust in a once very reliable ISP. The new plan is to crack on with the speed upgrades and lower conection radions to 30:1 As far as the FUP is consered or any useage monitoring they dont seem to have mentioned it. Check your mail Plus costomers.
