Broadband & phone bundles?
Hi,
Wasn't sure where to put this, so I thought here was probably best.
I'm looking at changing my broadband & phone packages, since I haven't changed either in ages, and both are now chronically bad value. I'm thinking of getting a combined phone & broadband deal for simplicity.
I quite like the look of Plusnet's Unlimited packages, both for standard and fibre. You can get unlimited broadband + phone for about £20 a month, £24 with anytime calls, and I've found Plusnet in the past to be a good balance of value and performance.
Any other ideas / suggestions? Do people still feel Plusnet are a decent provider? they certainly used to be back in the day.
Cheers.
I've been with them before and always been pleased. I'll swap a small amount of cost for decent performance. Do you find the broadband performance to be steady / reasonably fast?
Haven't looked at this market for a while. fibre is cheaper than I thought it would be. I'm doing more streaming / downloading of HD content than before, so I'm getting tempted by this, but think I'll stick with ADSL for now.
Thanks.
I'm on fibre and get a consistent 75mbps down and 19.5 up.
Plusnet and BT are sister companies, a bit like VW and Skoda; same car, different badge.
Owned by BT Group, but thankfully run as a completely separate subsidiary.
BT now own Plusnet, (As mentioned above) however they still operate independently, which is just as well as BT do not provide the best quality and support.
I use Plusnet and one thing you can be sure about, is that they will bend over backwards to get things sorted if a problem does occur, (Unlike a number of other company’s) and consequently I have no hesitation in recommending them.
Hope this helps
Bill
Just to echo others, have been with Plusnet for a few months now - excellent service and nice to see the upgrade to Unlimited packages was offered to existing fibre customers at no extra charge.
I work from home so do pay the extra £5 per month for the "Pro Add-on", but I get excellent download speeds (80 Mb +) consistently, even in the evening.
Plusnet are excellent, and can't recommend them highly enough.
Their line rental isn't the cheapest, and some of the features that are standard/included in the line rental with other providers are chargeable with PN.
But their support/CS is leagues above every other ISP I've used.
