Until Tue 18 July, BT-owned Plusnet is offering this 12-month fibre deal for newbies. It includes line rent and unlimited downloads with up-to-38Mb fibre broadband (up to 2x faster than standard), what's more the company was a strong performer in our latest customer service poll – 55% rated it 'great', only 15% 'poor'. This deal's available to 83% of the UK based on postcode (you're told when applying), though you can't get it if you're already a Plusnet customer (or left in the last month). Here's how it works...
- Pay line rent upfront, if you can afford to. It works out as £197.88 for a year, equiv to £16.49/mth. Then it’s the standard £18.99/mth after (also the price all along if you choose monthly payments). - Broadband's £6/mth for 12mths. Unless you don't live in a low cost area, but most do. After the 12-month contract, it rises to £14.99/mth - £50 Amazon voucher. If you sign up to this Broadband Genie deal, you'll be automatically sent a £50 Amazon voucher within 90 days. - Pay by direct debit. Or it's £1.50/mth extra.

Just be aware - if you go for the up to 38Mb package the upload speed is a paltry 1.9Mb and not the more usual 19Mb (convenient how they're so similar looking if not looking too closely, almost like it's done to be missed)
"76Mb download speed and 19Mb upload speeds on Unlimited Fibre Extra, and
up to 38Mb download speed and 1.9Mb upload speeds on Unlimited Fibre"
I have Plusnet fibre 76Mb and it's been 99.9% perfect for 2 years solid but I'd never go for the cheaper 39Mb package due to terrible upload speeds.

I used to be with Plusnet and they couldn't offer a decent retention deal so most likely you will have to go after promotional period is over. Meanwhile, Virgin cut my bill by more than 50% when I told them I want to leave. Currently on £15/ month for 100Mb.

Instead of going through broadbandgenie you could buy through Topcashback & get £70 cashback (instead of the £50 Amazon voucher).

I'm sure I read they've scrapped traffic shaping at the start of this month.

It was good enough, I mean the best experience I had so far - 30Mb stable. I tried to negotiate and called them like 3 times but they refused to reduce so had no choice but to join virgin.

Does that affect the connection speed or dropouts?
