You have read the what support have been telling you and as they would have
hoped you have believed it then.
The Service as mentioned in the T&C and being part of the T&C has changed.
So it has been stated to me, legally.

1 Definitions

2 The Service

2.1 The Service gives you access to the Internet and/or a range of Internet
content, services (including helpdesk services) and applications as
described here ( http://www.plus.net/) and will be provided at the Premises
we agree with you.

The following was taken from PlusNets site yesterday. Where the link above
pointed:

"If you regulary file-share and download, we recommend Broadband Premier.
With equal priority given to all internet services, including Peer-2-Peer,
Broadband Premier is ideal for heavier users. "


The T&C which is the legally binding contract that both you and I have with
PlusNet stated that "equal priority given to all internet services,
including Peer-2-Peer"
This has now changed (well it changed about 14 days ago but PlusNet did not
see fit to inform us)

It also states:

20 How this Contract can be changed

20.1 We may change this Contract, including our charges, at any time. We
will give you at least 14 days notice of any changes before they take
effect.



Now how can this not be a change to the T&C Alex?

See above and explain your/Plusnets thinking on this.
I can tell you now that PlusNet appear to be on very thin ice on this one as
they have got a lot of peoples backs up.
There are complaints already been looked at by lawyers for definite and
according to others the ASA and Trading Standards.
