I am very happy with the service Plusnet has provided. There haven't been any problems or delays and the speed is very quick. No problems either with reliability and I was kept informed regularly throughout the process. I also received a discount on BT Sport due to being a Plusnet customer. I would definitely recommend Plusnet to anyone looking to switch to them as they are a reliable provider who provides great value for money.

I recently changed from BT to Plusnet. Plusnet provide an excellent service at a much cheaper cost and are very competitive. The switching process could not be easier even for someone like me who is not the most technical when dealing with computers and would recommend anyone to try it.

I save a few pennies every month since switching to plusnet, and i get a faster speed with plusnet compared to sky, so it's a win win. The switch was very easy, i didn't have to do a thing, they did everything for me. I haven't had any issues yet, so no need to contact customer service, so i can't comment on that. So overall i am very happy with my new porvider, and glad that i switched.

I feel my broadband with Plusnet is very good value for the money and the speed is great. I've had no dropouts and with my last provider I needed an extender to get a signal to my conservatory but with Plusnet the signal is so good I do not need one.

I am happy with my deal as it also provides free anytime telephone calls which is good value for money. As I only use my broadband for social purpose the speed is ok. The only complaint I have is now and again I lose the Wi Fi signal which can be a bit of a nuisance if your in he middle if something.

The switch was smooth with no problems, but as Plusnet is running off the BT line in this area and there is no fibre available, the internet speed and connection are slow and cut out regularly.

The connection to receive broadband was very smooth. It took three weeks for Openreach which was the only delay but I accept that was out of Plusnet's control. Service so far is excellent. Strong signal from the router and the speed seems pretty decent for the money we pay, certainly sufficient for streaming and gaming. Very happy I chose Plusnet for my first provider to my new flat, and would definitely choose them again!

The switch was extremely easy no need for an engineer call-out. Everything was posted quickly and I was kept up to date with switching and when my broadband would be live. Easy connection and set up. One concern is the intermittent connection problems and buffering when streaming compared to my last provider - I did not have any of these problems.

The switch to plusnet was faultless. They kept me informed at every step of the process. The broadband is as fast as promised and reliable. The Plusnet broadband deal is £8 a month cheaper than my previous provider's renewal price, plus I have received a £50 cash back card. I am delighted with the switch.

There were some initial problems around phone line but once resolved connected in around 10 days. Connection seems good and fast and hasn't dropped out so far.
