I am currently with BT paying roughly £29 per month including phone line, but not any calls made, and I really can't keep paying this each month.
My contracts ends on 23rd Dec this year, and I am thinking of moving to Plusnet, but have never used them before, but they seem to get better reviews than BT, also they are £10 cheaper(for phone line and broadband) than BT which is really swaying it for me.
Has anyone used Plusnet before, what are they like? Would you recommend them?
I would be going for an unlimited contract with them,.

So, if you just want the basic service, it is the place BT want you to go.
BT don't charge for Sport if you have BT Broadband. This is just simple marketing - it is why VW have the SEAT and SKODA marques for the cheap version of the main VWs and Audi for their luxury range. It makes the branding and market adaptability easier. I couldn't care less about most sport, so I may well change to PlusNet for my "basic" needs.
Beyond that, what do you expect from your bb connection? It's no different to the water pipe into your house, just a connection to a service. Truth be told I'd be hard pushed to tell the difference between BT broadband and any other broadband connection into my house. I'm not sure how you can define a service as basic, if it has good latency and is fast enough to do things like watch iPlayer in higher quality without buffering, or allow VPN into work and be as near as doesn't matter the same as being in the office. Maybe it depends on having a fleet of vans roaming the countryside with BT Openreach plastered down the side.
It possibly is slow depending on which package you have. Plusnet traffic manage all, and throttle some, connections. For example, on an 'up to 16Mb' package, some downloads are throttled to 256kb/s during the evening.
