Everything you need to know about Plusnet
Originally an independent broadband provider based in Sheffield, Plusnet were bought out by BT in 2007. They still run as an independent company and continue to rely on their Yorkshire brand.
Most Plusnet deals tend towards the cheaper end of the market, focusing on value and simple pricing rather than all the bells and whistles.
All home broadband deals come with unlimited usage. Some traffic management may take place on your Plusnet connection – see which providers do this, and how it could affect you, here.
Broadband is available on 12 and 18 month contracts or for more flexibility, on a 30-day rolling contract.
Plusnet is one of the only providers to offer these shorter broadband contracts.
