Re: New Superfast Business Broadband

The new published details do not mention data limits on access to the webspace provided.
Are we to assume that for (e.g.) Unlimited Business Fibre Broadband which provides 500MB webspace, there is also a 500MB daily limit?

Re: New Superfast Business Broadband

I am looking up upgrade my connection, but I have a few questions.
I currently have an 8 IP Block.... Would this block remain on my account after the move from adsl2 to fttc?
If not, can I get a different 8 ip block?
I also have a voip account, would this remain the same?
I would be looking at the "Unlimited Business Fibre Broadband" package if I were to switch.

That's correct, the 500MB webspace has a 500MB daily data transfer allowance.

It should remain the same, it's only customers on very old accounts where we may have to change the IP addresses.

As above, it should remain the same.

Re: New Superfast Business Broadband

I've looked at the FAQ, but it doesn't mention the cost of a fixed IP address. I know there is a one off charge of £5 on residential, is that the same for business account?
I can see from the pricing here that if we don't take the phone with you then it £2 a month more, are there any other charges, like connection charges if not taking the phone?

Re: New Superfast Business Broadband

I just looked at the new packages and I have a question
Would there be any problem with a residential user switching to a business product to save money
Silly question you might think - why would changing to a business product save money
Reason is that the base business product at £8 per month - with Plusnet phone - has a usage allowance of 25GB which makes for a useful bridge between Essentials (10GB included - £5.99) and Unlimited (£9.99)
EDIT
Load of rubbish - ignore me - I forgot that business prices are ex VAT so the base price is actually £9.60

I haven't looked yet Jim, but what's the Traffic Management profile on that Base Business product - it may not be too nice for a home user?

Re: New Superfast Business Broadband

Ah, the £8pm only applies on a 24 month Contract and Market 2/3 exchanges - a lot more expensive on market 1 - and you have to have Plusnet phone that's PAYG no inclusive calls, so by the time you add on the extra bits, not so attractive.

Re: New Superfast Business Broadband

What happens to those on the FTTC Business trial? Do they automatically get converted to the new tariff?
