ISP Plusnet Discounts UK Full Fibre Home Broadband Packages

Internet provider Plusnet has today sweetened the offers on their existing range of Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) powered home ultrafast broadband packages – provided via Openreach’s national network, which sees the provider shaving another few pounds off each of their plans for new customers.

The packages all include unlimited data usage, a new Hub Two wireless router (based off BT’s SmartHub 2), free activation and a 24-month minimum contract term. The catch is that these packages are data-only plans because Plusnet has not launched its own IP based phone (VoIP) product, which could hinder those who’d still like to retain a phone service.

The catch is that the provider, much like most of the other big home broadband ISPs, will – on 31st March 2023 – be increasing the price for broadband, line rental, call plans, call charges and BT Sport services by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate of inflation published in January 2023 (10.5%), plus 3.9%. But Plusnet doesn’t actually mention the 10.5% figure itself on the product page, which is a bit naughty (they just refer to January).

Customers on slower FTTC (VDSL2) lines can also take their “Unlimited Fibre” (36Mbps) and “Unlimited Fibre Extra” (66Mbps) packages from just £21.99 and £23.99 per month respectively – on a shorter 18-month term. But unlike their FTTP tiers, the FTTC plans also include a basic phone service.

Plusnet’s Full Fibre Broadband Packages

Full Fibre 145
PRICE: £27.99 per month for the first 24 months (£35 thereafter)

We should add that a 900Mbps tier does exist (standard price of £55 per month), but at present they still don’t appear to be offering that to new customers on their main product pages.
