Nick Silverwood, PlusNet's Head of Business, said:

"We do not have minimum volume requirements," he said. "We will work with someone who needs 50 lines, right through to someone who needs 5,000 or 10,000. A lot of resellers with their own private networks do not want the CapEx investment of moving to the next level [i.e. superfast broadband technologies].

We do not want to dilute what we do. Certainly in the reseller space we do not feel as though we are losing out by not offering other services, because of the benefits we can bring [in terms of] a high level of service on broadband. Often, the partners specialise in adding the value."
