Press Release Summary = Neil Armstrong, PlusNet's Product Development Director, said: "Pay As You Go Broadband is ideal for customers with changing usage needs - downloading video and MP3 files is becoming more popular and because of the intelligent technology we use to manage our network; customers get high speeds whether they're downloading a little or a lot."
Press Release Body = Existing and new PlusNet customers will receive the following benefits:
. The basic amount of data transfer included as standard with PlusNet's £14.99 per month up to 8Mb PAYG broadband, has increased to 2GB - it used to be 1GB but the basic price remains the same.
. Extra pre-pay data transfer above the new 2GB included as standard, is now sold in increments of 2GB for £1.50 (rather than £1 for 1GB).
. This means that extra data transfer will come in bigger amounts. Customers won't pay any more than they currently do. They get 2GB as standard and prices are lower overall.
. If customers don\'t choose to pre-pay for their usage and simply pay as they use, they'll now pay £1.80 per 2GB. This used to be £1.25 per 1GB.
When is this happening? . New customers who buy today will get the new benefits
. Existing customers are being upgraded as their billing date comes around this month.
What will customers pay? All customers will pay less for their total monthly usage. For example:
A customer who currently uses a total of 4GB a month will save money. They did get 1GB included and pay £3 for an extra 3GB costing a total of £16.99. Now they will get 2GB included and pay £1.50 for an extra 2GB costing a total of £16.49.
Why are we doing this? Neil Armstrong, PlusNet's Product Development Director, said: "Pay As You Go Broadband is ideal for customers with changing usage needs - downloading video and MP3 files is becoming more popular and because of the intelligent technology we use to manage our network; customers get high speeds whether they're downloading a little or a lot."
Armstrong continued "The same intelligent technology makes for a very cost effective network, PlusNet has always been recognised as a great-value ISP and this move shows we're making our products even better value, we're pleased to be passing on savings to our customers."
