Justin, yes it is unlimited. I have fibre optic & I couldn't believe the difference when I first got it.

I wasn't aware anyone did unlimited before now. Like I say, I know so many that claim it's unlimited but usually isn't!

i find youTube, netflix and music unlimited on the ps3 use a hell of allot usage and if i was on the basic package i would be paying extra every month (bloody kids) :)

I have unlimited with Sky and have never received any notice about extra costs so they must unlimited to, In terms of BT and Plusnet they are the same company now

I have Virginmedia broadband here. I don't know if it's unlimited, but I've never run into any walls. We're not on the fastest speed, but we're supposed to be getting a new box tomorrow so we'll be going a little faster.

I have to laugh when I see ads on the TV, or through the door, that offer broadband for silly low prices and then you see a 2GB cap or something ridiculous. I downloaded over 4GB just on Friday without thinking about it. When that Adobe software offer cropped up last month, that was about 8GB just on its own. I see the limits like 2GB, or 40GB/mo., and I think they must be having a laugh. Tiny limits are just not practical with today's internet usage.

with sky unlimited on there LLU system - 20meg connection
it is totally unlimited, as last yr when i was looking to update my music vids, i downloaded 900+gig of HD music vids in over 1mth :eek: not a problem.

and BT are installing FTTC to my little exchange by end of this yr which mean fibre - 80down-20up :tongue: - if i can get FTTH ( straight to the home ) 300down and god knows up :tongue: i will - but i dought it will come here till later.

but i would be more than happy with 80d and 20u

sky have told me they will be installing there own (piggy backing from bt) fibre after bt enables our exchange aug/sept 2013
Hence why i,m sticking with sky.

oh forgot to say - my 20mg "unlimited" b/b is only £12.50pm, or £7.50pm if you take sky line rental instead of BT.
If i want to "upgrade" to SKY FIBRE, i would need to take there line rental as well....and its cheaper than BT line rental as well. - win win :wink:
