Tim, whilst not being affected (yet) by this, I have to take you to
task on this: Plus.Net specifically >do< advertise the service as
unlimited, not unmetered.

Even the fact that they have two seperate products: Off-Peak and 24-7
makes it a bit dubious.

I am more worried by the non commercial clause. That is blatant false
advertising, with none of the greyness of the bandwidth issue.

How can you advertise a product as having an "e-commerce package to
get
your web storefornt online" and with a free .co.uk domain name, then
turn around and chuck people off for "commercial" use??
