Review of Plusnet Broadband Your Way: Package 1
- Fast up to 8MB broadband
- Unlimited downloads outside peak times
- Free UK evening & weekend calls
- Includes line rental in the price
- One bill for broadband, line rental & calls
|
PLUSNET'S homephone and broadband bundle Package 1 is just an example of the almost infinite combinations of broadband and phone options available using Plusnet's more-flexible-than-stretch-armstrong 'Broadband Your Way' tool.
Create your own
Package 1 is really just a package they made earlier, so if you want more, fewer or different features, you can use Plusnet's smashing little mix-and-match tool to create your own, totally personalised Plusnet broadband and phone bundle package.
Sticking with what you get here though, you'll enjoy all the features of Plusnet's Broadband Your Way Option 1 package, combined with Plusnet Homephone Evening and Weekends which gives you, like it says on the tin, free evening and weekend calls to all UK landlines.
Free line rental included
What it doesn't say on the tin though - astonishingly - is that this package includes your line rental as well! So finally you can receive just one bill for line rental, phonecalls and broadband.
Plusnet has really come up trumps with this excellent phone and broadband package.
Consider what you get and think about the price, and you'll see why we cannot recommend this Plusnet bundle package enough.

Alex Hislop from Birmingham writes... 10/10/2007 "I was a Plusnet broadband customer already but switched over to the Broadband Your Way Pro about 10 days ago. At first I didn't notice a huge difference, but after a few days I really can tell. I'm definitely more competitive now. I recommend this Plusnet package for gamers."
