Just signed up to Plusnet standard ADSL (unlimited) broadband.
Its Free for 12 months on a 12 month contract with £75 cash back (from Plus Net).
Quidco are offering £135 for Standalone ADSL packages on top of this.
You just pay line rental (£16.99/ mo) but i went for the line rental saver @ £185.88 up front.
So you get £210 cash back in total for your package which only costs £185.88 + £6.99 router P&P charge.
So... i have the equivalent of free line rental, free broadband, free router and £17.13 in my back pocket :smiley:
Seems like a no-brainer!
------ UPDATE ------
Quidco Cashback has tracked @ £135.
------ UPDATE 2 ------
Get an extra £5.58 if you have a Santander 1-2-3 account and opt to pay the line rental saver by DD! - thanks ahotukdeal
Currently enjoying a 0.62mbps download speed from them.. 72hours until they look into it

Interesting definition of no-brainer. You signed-up for the Plusnet 12m contract offering £75 Plusnet cashback, yet the Quidco deal is "Get free ADSL for 18 months on an 18 month contract when you take out line rental". So no Quidco cashback for your 12m contract purchase.

To be fair, I'm a software developer and often work from home and my standard ADSL has been fine.
I get a good speed for ADSL (14-17mb) and its enough to stream TV and HD films etc...
Fibre is nice if you download a lot, but i don't download much, i stream...

I don't think you'll get the plusnet cashback and the quidco. I did an offer with plusnet when they had £50 plusnet cashback and £30 quidco, the quidco cashback was rejected after a few months.

I got both last year, £130 Quidco that paid fine and a £50 cheque from Plusnet

This is true. However, I didn't know this at the time and queried where my cashback from Plusnet was a few weeks after I joined them. If you pretend to act naive and tell them you went to the site via Google and not Quidco or whatever, they may still send you a cheque in the post. They did for me.

I disagree, on the Quidco page for PlusNet there are reviewers saying they have had both!
Quite a few people saying they got both cashbacks OK.

The left hand side of Quidco states the cashback is for standalone ADSL orders (has no specifics).
The right hand side of the page is to show current offers on ADSL from PlusNet (which is out of date).
The cashback is still applicable even with the different offer from Plusnet.

Worst case scenario is that you would not get the Quidco and it works out at £9.82pm for your broadband and line rental which has to be the cheapest offer around anyway?
I will update with any tracking info i get from Quidco, Quidco cash back offer ends in 4 days... so maybe worth a shot for others anyway!

Try living on an EO line, that was capable of 4mb's. Then via Openreach incompetence after a line fault has seen me moved to a congested DSLAM, line switched & now I can get 2.8mb/s. Of which DLM kicks me down to 2.3mb's every couple of weeks & I need to contact the ISP to get the profile reset. A 17 meg connection to millions of people in the UK would be a godsend if they could get it.

It doesn't get much faster than that on ADSL.
Know anything cheaper?

Your OP states that you purchased 12m line rental coincident with 12m broadband, yet the offer you quote "is for standalone ADSL orders". You have not placed a "standalone ADSL order", you have placed an ADSL combined with landline order.
I wish you well, but it may be worth a clarification query to QC and/or PN, although that in itself may trigger declined cashback.

To be honest, this is a problem with OpenReach and their absolutely terrible database for line speeds. It is a standard issue, and every ADSL customer can suffer from it, no matter who your "provider" is.

Yes, I never really understand why their adverts say that they win awards for great customer service. I always found their customer service to be appalling. Fortunately their ADSL didn't break very often.

I went from Sky to PlusNet and it was the best move I have made.
Sky were so unreliable and always loosing my connection (inc landline) from day one. PlusNet I have had NO PROBLEMS at all with a brilliant fast connection to. I live in a small village and get 37 MEG download
