UK ISP PlusNet Launches 76Mbps FTTC Superfast Broadband Package

Budget internet and phone provider PlusNet has today launched two new superfast broadband (FTTC) packages, which offer internet download speeds of up to 76Mbps alongside a bigger usage allowance of 250GB (GigaBytes), free installation and UK calls. Prices start at just £19.99 a month.

The new Extra Fibre package replaces the older ‘up to 38Mbps’ product of the same name, although its slower and cheaper ‘Fibre’ bundles have not been changed. In addition customers of the new Extra Fibre service will also benefit from faster upload speeds of up to 19.5Mbps.

Plusnets Extra Fibre

• Up to 76Mb/s speeds (19.5Mbps uploads)
• 250GB usage allowance (Unlimited between midnight and 8am)
• Free wireless router
• Free install (saves £50)
• 18 month contract

As usual customers that want the free installation and calls offer will also need to take PlusNet’s Line Rental service from £9.49 a month on top of your broadband charge. A small number of eligible customers will also have to pay £26.49 a month for the “Extra Fibre” broadband instead of £19.99, which occurs if they live outside of the ISPs “low cost area” (i.e. the last 10% of UK rural areas, most of which can’t get FTTC yet anyway).
