After an excruciatingly long wait, budget conscious UK ISP Plusnet<\/a> finally looks set to move into the ultrafast broadband era by launching their first Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) based broadband packages later this year. The product also seems likely to be accompanied by a new router (possibly a re-brand of BT<\/a>’s Smart Hub 2).<\/p>\n

Plusnet<\/a> – part of the BT<\/a> Group – was actually one of the very first broadband ISPs in the UK to start trials of Openreach<\/a>’s new full fibre service back in 2010\/11 and, as a result of that, many people naturally assumed that they would also be one of the first to launch a related package. But those trials came to an end in 2018, just as Openreach<\/a> was starting a major national FTTP<\/a> rollout, and the trail has since gone cold.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, almost every other Openreach<\/a> based ISP worth their salt has already launched an FTTP<\/a> package, including BT<\/a>’s other sibling EE<\/a>. All of this has left Plusnet<\/a> in a somewhat awkward position, as the only one of the mainstream players without any full fibre or gigabit speed broadband services to offer their customers.<\/p>\n

The first sign that this untenable situation was about to change came earlier this year, after Plusnet’s marketing department began to confirm (here<\/a>) that ultrafast broadband services were being planned for 2021. Fast-forward to April 2021 and two of their customers have recently informed ISPreview.co.uk of how the provider’s support team told them FTTP would be coming this “summer<\/em>.” Naturally we queried this with the ISP.<\/p>\n

A Plusnet Spokesperson told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re always looking at new ways to provide simple, reliable broadband with award-winning service to our customers – including new products like full fibre and a new hub over the next year. We can\u2019t share anything more right now, but when we\u2019re ready, our customers will be the first to hear about it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In terms of the new router, Plusnet has recently been taking BT’s kit and re-branding it (e.g. the Hub One is effectively a Home Hub 5A), often with a few of their own tweaks. As such it stands to reason that whatever follows may well be a re-brand of their Smart Hub 2<\/strong><\/a>, particularly as we’re expecting BT to launch a Smart Hub 3<\/strong> in not too distant future (here<\/a>) and Plusnet rarely gets the latest kit – a good way of using or re-using existing stock.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, we don’t yet know precisely what packages Plusnet will offer or how they’ll be positioned versus BT and EE<\/a>, which are already offering their FTTP tiers alongside some fairly attractive prices. All of that presents a problem for PN, which has traditionally been positioned more as BT Group’s low-cost brand. Hopefully they’ll find a way to keep that tradition going.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 8:35am<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plusnet has now indicated to us that FTTP is expected to launch a “bit later<\/em>” than summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
