- Plusnet regrade
- Posted by Road_Hog on July 2nd, 2004
BT have reduced the regrade fee to £11.75 or thereabouts.
Plusnet stills seems to be charging £60 - £70. When are they going to reduce
prices?

The regrade fee is currently £41.13 for an annual contract, when you are
increasing the speed of your connection.
However we are about to release a new pricing structure in response to BT
Wholesale's reductions; please look out for an announcement on our Website
and Customer Service feedback NG early next week.

Hi there,
The activation fee is still applicable for customers. BT still charge
for line activation and we have to reflect that to our customers. If
BT reduce this we would certainly look at reducing it, but until then
we are unable to subsidise the cost.
kind regards
Luke

You're wrong! (Well you wanted to be corrected) Example:
For the 512KB unlimited 'bandwidth' account:
£70.50 + £21.99/month for monthly contract
£58.75 + £21.99/month for annual contract
or
£0.00 + £27.49/month for annual contact, £21.99/month after 12 months

BT announced this from the first of June? What is taking so long?You were
going to announce changes week commencing 21st June.
Please don't give me the "BT didn't give us any advance notice" It's quite
simple, after a couple of days, somebody changes the website to reflect BT
charges
i.e. £11.75 whether it's monthly, weekly or millennium.
Regrade fee is £41.13 for an annual contract. I'm on monthly, does that mean
it will cost more? If so how much extra does BT charge for regrades if your
customer goes on monthly contract?

BT charge the same. If an ISP charges more thats an issue for them.

Are you listening Plusnet?
I shall be upgrading to 1Meg within a week. I will not be paying £41.13 as I
have already paid £70.00 activation fee in May.
Your call.

It's a free market. Go elsewhere. Don't see why Plusnety (and its other
customers) should subsidise anyone.

It is not a choice on price. I have already paid an activation fee two
months ago. I wish to upgrade i.e. pay more money.
BT have dropped their charges over a month ago to £11 + vat, Plusnet are
still quoting £41 for a yearly contract, which suggest that the monthly fee
is more (the activation fee is and if the regrade fee isn't, why mention
yearly in the post)
So, lets sum it up, I'm a customer who wants to pay more money each month,
but doesn't want to get ripped off on the upgrade fee of £50+ when BT have
dropped their price to £11.
Hows that choosing my ISP on price? I just want the price cut for the
regrade fee, passed on to me and not to be gouged to stay on monthly
payment.

Same as F2S if you leave within the first year: £59.99 + VAT = £70.49
If they waive the fee, you have to pay more per month -- any company has to
get the money back somehow.
F2S may be considerably cheaper, but then they don't offer fax2email, the
same standard of webhosting, domain hosting etc. Just depends what your
needs are!

Hi Road Hog,
Our new pricing for regrades should be rolled out on Tuesday. The
reason for the delay is because we had to change a lot of backend
things here before we could roll it out.
kind regards

given past complaints I wouldn't push those aspects too far, but 250 MB of
web space, CGI, PHP, MySQL and shell access make it perhaps useful for any
individual wanting somewhere to experiment/learn. PlusNet themselves don't
push the hosting "we are not a hosting company, we are an ISP. As some of
our customers want to have domain names on their accounts we offer this
as a service for them."
- Posted by Justin Johnson on July 4th, 2004
The standard of the F2S Hosting is the best out there from any ISP IMHO
maybe you don't get so much space (50MB + 5MB SQL), but the servers are more
reliable than PlusNet's they have uptimes in excess of about 250 days, and
that was for upgrades!
