UK ISP Plusnet Cuts Broadband and Fibre Prices for Christmas
Low cost ISP Plusnet has today reduced the monthly price of their unlimited ‘up to’ 17Mbps ADSL2+ and ‘up to’ 38-76Mbps FTTC based “Fibre Broadband” packages (these all include line rental) by several £ for new customers, which will be available to order until 17th January 2017.
Each of the three main packages include an unlimited usage allowance, wireless router (£6.99 postage), line rental, Parental Controls (network-level filtering) and UK-based customer support. On top of that a number of UK calling add-ons are available (e.g. Anytime calls) at extra cost.
Unlimited Broadband
* Download speeds of up to 17Mbps
* Upload speeds of up to 1Mbps
* 12 Month contractPRICE: £20 a month for 12 months (£27.98 thereafter)
Unlimited Fibre
* Download speeds of up to 38Mbps
* Upload speeds of up to 1.9Mbps
* 18 Month contractPRICE: £25 a month for 18 months (£32.98 thereafter)
Unlimited Fibre Extra
* Download speeds of up to 76Mbps
* Upload speeds of up to 19.5Mbps
* 18 Month contractPRICE: £30 a month for 18 months (£37.98 thereafter)
As usual these prices are only available to those who live within Plusnet’s “low cost area“, while those outside of this (roughly reflecting the final 9% of UK premises in more rural and digitally disadvantaged areas) will find that they have to pay several £ more. Finally, if you need a new phone line installed at your property then there’s a £49.99 installation charge.

Nearly sure they were £2 – £3 cheaper, less than a month ago, when I was considering migrating.
I recall the Black Friday deals in November being slightly cheaper, but those only lasted for a few short days before the prices returned to higher levels until today.
Maybe Plusnet would do better improving their Customer Services than trying to attract new customers. Considering all the bad reviews they get.
