Have a look at normal broadband packages too, they will be plenty fast enough for Netflix, and if the goal is to save as much as possible it may be worth looking at

Instead of faffing around switching providers I have simply dropped down to Virgin's 50mb package. £23.25. Saves me a tenner a month on what the price increase would have come to on my current package, and my service will be uninterrupted. It's also cheaper than a new customer would get it. Happy with that.

The man also told me my average monthly usage is 89gb - is this a lot?! I am a bit of a Netflix junkie.

You stream stuff from Netflix it will use a fair bit of data, an average HD TV show episode will be 1gb or so so it soon adds up. It is best to just not worry about it.

Oh I'm not worried as I'm on an unlimited package, I just wondered how it measures up to other forumites.

I wouldn't even know my average usage.

I only know cause Plusnet's system tells you when you log into their site. I average 200-500GB a month. It's quite interesting as it breaks down the data type etc.

Why did you opt for Plus Net?
