Damn, I was hoping Home Pro Fibre would get an increase.

It's hard to keep within the 50GB peak limit

Glenn · Mar 12, 2012, 11:22:52

I hope the new allowances are Gb and not Mb as the announcement shows.

Lance · Mar 12, 2012, 11:29:15

I was about to post the same, Glenn!!

Simon · Mar 12, 2012, 11:31:46

I've alerted Simon as to what we hope is an error!

Oops, I need more coffee!

Nor Home Plus Fibre. It's the one thing I've gone backwards on since upgrading from ADSL - ironic how I've got 35 times the bandwidth but can't use as much per month.

Dare say that when my exchange is adsl2+ enabled later this year whether it in fact makes more economic sense than my FTTC

Bill · Mar 12, 2012, 12:36:35

Maybe the fibre products will get revamped next month when the 80Mbps option becomes available "officially" from BT... hopefully also with bigger allowances

I just noticed this in my account.

Package: Home Pro (ADSL2+)
Bandwidth Allowance: 180GB Total (Peak: 50GB / Off Peak: 150GB ) How do you get 180Gb from 50GB + 150Gb?

Lance · Mar 12, 2012, 14:36:25

I've pinched some of yours

Snap!!!

the bracketed area must be right

Simon · Mar 12, 2012, 17:01:39

This should now have been corrected.

pctech · Mar 12, 2012, 17:15:27

That's a decent price for 50GB peak.

Baz · Mar 12, 2012, 17:16:08

it has indeed Simon.

when does this take affect from, now or every ones start of new month

Simon · Mar 12, 2012, 17:39:35

I've been told the change is effective immediately.

I wondered where it had gone

Niall · Mar 13, 2012, 00:17:52

Yay, and thanks to IDnet

I think I've only crept over the old limit 3 times since I've been here, but now I can buy games via steam more often. Damn you

alan · Mar 13, 2012, 11:20:14

What about us on the ADSL Max (Lite) are we going to get some kind of increase?

Simon · Mar 13, 2012, 12:07:24

Does this answer that?

Quote from: Simon_idnet on Mar 12, 2012, 10:47:10Unfortunately, we're unable to change the bandwidth allowances for 20CN services at this time.

As Simon's reply shows, you do not get the increase if you are on 20CN, but you do get the increase if you are taking the adsl max service on a 21CN connection.

I am very pleased with the way idnet have done this. I was (and still am) on an adsl max service. My exchange, to my great surprise, was recently upgraded to 21CN. idnet gave me the increased bandwidth immediately they connected me to 21CN even though I have not moved to adsl2+

My package details now show the latest increase too:

Package: Home Max (WBC ADSL MAX)
Bandwidth Allowance: 200GB Total (Peak: 50GB / Off Peak: 150GB )

Hence, over a few weeks, I have seen my bandwidth allowance increase from 30/60 to 50/150 while remaining on adsl max and with no increase in cost.

Thank you, idnet.

Simon · Mar 13, 2012, 13:00:36

Thanks for that clarification, Armadillo.
