Plusnet broadband deals

Plusnet broadband deals

Plusnet broadband deals are well known for being great value for money, with fast connection speeds and excellent customer service.

The provider even offers full fibre broadband deals, with up to 900Mbps speeds available for very reasonable prices compared to other ultrafast internet providers.

Value for money from Plusnet

If you're looking for a well-priced internet contract, a Plusnet broadband deal will likely feature towards the top of your shortlist.

A simple ADSL broadband connection offers you 10Mbps average download speeds. But you could actually get up to six times this speed for the same price or less nowadays.

If you regularly use the internet to stream TV, play games and work from home, or there are more than two people at home, you would likely be better off with one of Plusnet's fibre broadband deals.

Plusnet fibre broadband offers

Plusnet doesn't limit itself to ADSL broadband. It offers plenty of reasonably priced fibre broadband deals, with faster average speeds starting at 36Mbps and going up to 66Mbps. These can start from as little as £24.99 a month (according to prices in November 2023).

Plusnet phone and broadband deals

If you're looking for the best broadband and phone provider for your needs, Plusnet could have what you're after. Many of its value-for-money broadband deals include a home phone plan for a small additional fee.

Plusnet customer service

Plusnet takes pride in its award-winning customer service, offering a number of ways for customers to get in touch with its dedicated team. And as a result, it typically receives fewer customer complaints than most Wi-Fi providers in Ofcom's quarterly complaints report.

Plusnet’s online help and support section is intended to cover the most frequently asked questions, while its ‘Contact Us’ facility is available for live online chat or by phone.

Plusnet router and equipment

Plusnet’s four-port wireless router uses ‘N’ series technology and is provided with all of its fibre and ADSL broadband products.

It comes free when customers sign up for one of its deals on a 12- or 18-month contract, and it will be capable of handling everything a normal household will want to do online.

Competitive gamers and power-users might want a more advanced third party router, but Plusnet isn't the best placed provider for the optimum performance needed for those activities in the first place.

Plusnet security software

Created by McAfee, the Plusnet Protect security package also includes spam protection and a personal firewall to better shield you from unwarranted viruses and content.

Plusnet internet products also come with its parental controls tool, Plusnet SafeGuard.

Plusnet TV and BT Sport

At the start of 2021, Plusnet announced that they would "no longer be taking orders" for its pay-TV services. The Plusnet T&Cs also revealed that customers would no longer be able to renew their TV subscription as of 7 February 2021.

Existing TV customers are still able to use their set-top boxes to watch Freeview content, but Plusnet TV services are no longer available to purchase.

The BT Sport app was also removed as an add-on for Plusnet customers just before the company was renamed to TNT Sports.

Plusnet email features

Customers of Plusnet Broadband receive a personal webmail account, which includes unlimited alias addresses included. These are different addresses that still deliver emails to the same inbox.

This gives you the option to give out different email addresses or more anonymous email address and still manage all your correspondances from the same inbox.

Just remember that you'll likely have to change your Plusnet email address if you end up switching from them in the future.

About Plusnet broadband

Plusnet started up in 1997 as a dial-up internet provider, and it proved to be so popular that by 2004, the size of its customer base had doubled. Since then, it's grown steadily to become one of the UK’s largest Wi-Fi providers.

In 2007, Plusnet was acquired by BT Group. It continues to operate separately from the BT brand, but the takeover led to a number of offers, initiatives and add-ons being shared between the two broadband providers.

In 2012, Plusnet launched its fibre broadband service, using the same Openreach network as BT's superfast fibre and offering average speeds of up to 66Mbps. And in 2022, Plusnet launched its first full fibre broadband deals, offering speeds between 100Mbps and 900Mbps to customers on the Openreach ultrafast network.

Its packages all offer unlimited downloads, but traffic prioritisation usually applies during peak usage times.
