Launch of new Plusnet Fibre Products - 80/20 and 250GB usage allowance
My billing date is the 11th, flipping marvellous, 27 days to work out how I'll spend my saved £1.49 
Still, it'll give PN time to work out the wrinkles, just hope they don't forget I was on the trial.
BTW it would be nice if there was some confirmation when the upgrade/change had been made. I know if I look around the closed questions I can see it there but I can also go and change my product again as the old values are still there.
Big thanks to PN for the upgrade and for allowing me to participate in the trial.

Quote from: JEB Just for clarity I assume I can still have the pro add on on the new package?
Yes. Plusnet will not refuse your extra fiver a month.
well after being on the trial and being one of the few that saw no change to my download speeds,
i get 18 to 20mbps on a good day if im lucky lol, and 6 upload,
the £1.50 saving has convinced me it's worth it to upgrade, i can buy a lollipop now
seriously though, the increase in the usage is really the deciding factor for me and hopefully one day i'll get a speed to match. with a gamer, and a hubby that streams tv in the family i will no longer have to tell em off for using all the bandwidth.
roll on the 23rd
thank you PN for the opportunity to do this trial, and i'm wondering what have you got for us next
UPGRADED

Quick question. I had the Netgear WNR & ZyXel routers as a trialist, but notice the product has launched with the 582n.
Any feedback from users who have tried this against the ZyXel?
I love the GigE ports on the ZyXel and the wireless is fast, but it does have issues with my android devices. Should I consider taking the new router?
General feedback for PN - product refresh is bang on IMHO. I've been on the E100 trial so have enjoyed unlimited usage for a couple of months, and 250Gb will finally allow me to not check my usage on a bi-weekly basis. We do quite a lot of streaming and for me, this will effectively be unlimited. If someone is actually consuming more than 250Gb peak then they're probably an unprofitable leech customer that Plus.net doesn't want to attract anyway. Well done, you just need to find a way to compete against the "unlimited" marketing or not (to protect our service quality), and let those guys go to BT & Sky instead
With a 76Mbps speedtest result, needless to say I'll be upgrading from value fibre

Interesting - the ZyXEL's been fine with my Android devices.
Yeah I didn't notice any issues with a Nexus One (HTC Desire) running Cyanogen Mod, but a Samsung Galaxy S2 running stock firmware keeps losing its IP connection over wifi intermittently. Wifi stays up, but page not found timeouts for any browsing attempts until either a) it spontaneously decides to work or b) I toggle Wifi off and on to force a new connection. Tried looking in the router logs to see what's going on but nothing shown there of interest - unless there is a more detailed syslog buried somewhere in the device.
[Edit - Duh! after rechecking the router log its pretty obvious. The router is sending out DHCP ACKs as often as once a minute - sometimes less often to the S2. I'll try playing with Wifi sleep and powersave options to see how that goes...]
As an aside - has anyone tried the new firmware for the ZyXEL? I just thought I'd have another look seen as I'm moaning about the issue again, and bingo a new firmware came out last month. Being the prudent coward I am, has anyone already flashed this?

Awsome Plusnet, i'm a happy man.
Due to being in the trial i got 80/20 cheaper than i've been paying for 40/10 and i was'nt contracted to 80 for 18 months.
Plusnet gave me a few pound off my broadband as a thankyou for testing the trial out for the last few month.
Of course i'm now on the full package with 250gb but with no contract as i keep my current one but upgrade
Brilliant service and a great offer for the people that tested for the last few month, keep up the good work guys and girls

I posted on a thread I already have in the Accounts area - but perhaps here would be better?

Basically, I am on the 40 Value package, and ahave been a 80/20 trialist for the last few months, but I already had an upgrade ticket in to go to the existing Extra package (due about the 24th of the month),
Will this automagically morph into the new "Extra" £19.99 250GB 80/20 package, with all the benefits for the trialists, or should I be raising a further ticket through the upgrade button?
Don't want to confuse things
