PlusNet, the best buy for Broadband in the UK*, today announced that they are reducing the cost of broadband even further with the introduction of their new "Home Surf" ADSL account.

ADSL Home Surf is just £17.86 per month (£20.99 inc VAT) and has been designed specifically for consumers who use the Internet for web browsing, gaming and email.

"By focusing on the requirements of the majority of Internet users, we have been able to bring a new price point to the UK market" stated Phil Sheard, Marketing Manager at PlusNet.

The Home Surf product boasts an impressive specification while delivering an unrivalled low cost. Included with the package are features such as unlimited e-mail addresses, 25 Megabytes of Webspace and 24 hour, 7 days a week, local rate Technical Support. The activation fee for the product is £50.00 (£58.75 inc VAT).

"We have built a reputation for unrivalled value added services, we didn't want to remove this from this product. The fact is that ADSL Home Surf has more services than most other ISPs can offer on their premium services" continued Sheard.
