† - up to 8Mb speeds
Broadband is described as up to 8Mb or 20Mb because your actual download speeds will vary depending on your telephone line and where you live. When you sign up we'll check your line and give you an estimate of the speed you should get. Download speeds will vary a lot in the first 10 days after connection and will then become more consistent.
ˆ - If you leave Plusnet in your first 12 months after receiving a free set-up, router or house move, we'll charge you for these. If you remain with Plusnet for 12 months after receiving a free set-up, router or house move these charges will be waived. You can also choose to pay for any of these up front if you want more flexibility.
