Plusnet Package 2 Broadband Bundle

Review of Plusnet Broadband Your Way: Package 2

PLUSNET'S homephone and broadband bundle Package 2 is just an example of the almost infinite combinations of broadband and phone options available using Plusnet's Blue Peter-style 'Broadband Your Way' make-it-yourself broadband package creation tool.

Mix and Match

Plusnet's Package 2 is really just a package they made earlier and if you are unhappy with any of the features in it, you can mix and match to create your very own, 100% customised Plusnet bundle package yourself.

Sticking with what you get here though, you'll enjoy all the features of Plusnet's Broadband Option 2 package, combined with Plusnet Homephone Evening and Weekends which gives you, like it says on the tin, free UK evening and weekend landline calls.

Line rental included

What it doesn't say on the tin though - which it really should - is that this includes your line rental as well - and at a much better rate than BT's current £11.75!

So finally you can receive just one bill for line rental, phonecalls and broadband.

We're great fans of Plusnet broadband and are especially enamoured with this Plusnet broadband and phone bundle. Highly recommended.

	Plusnet Package 2 is currently offering FREE activation and FREE wireless router if you commit for 12 months.

"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."
