Review of Plusnet Package 3
- Super-fast 8MB broadband
- 40GB peak-time usage allowance
- Unlimited downloads off peak
- Free anytime calls to UK landines
- Includes line rental in the price
|
LIKE Burger King's famous 'Have It Your Way' slogan, Sheffield-based broadband provider Plusnet have borrowed the concept and made it a zillion times better.
Infinite combinations
Plusnet's homephone and broadband bundle Package 3 is just one example of the almost infinite combinations of broadband and phone options available using their quite brilliant 'Broadband Your Way' mix-and-match application.
So this Plusnet bundle is not rigid by any means and is just a kind of 'one we made earlier'.
You can chop and change it at your will - adding bandwidth etc - to create your very own, highly personalised Plusnet broadand and phone bundle.
Reduced rates
With this pre-made package though you'll enjoy all the features of Plusnet's Broadband Your ay Option 3 package, combined with Plusnet Homephone Anytime+ which gives you free anytime calls to all UK landlines as well reduced rates to all international destinations.
To make this even more eye-poppingly good value is that the price of this Plusnet bundle package includes your line rental as well!
Single bill
So finally you can receive a single monthly bill for line rental, phonecalls and broadband.
This Plusnet Package 3 combines just about every great feature available from Plusnet and as such, receives our highest commendation.

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."
