Plusnet is giving new customers a \u00a3145 voucher to spend at a choice of retailers when you take out one of four packages including Full Fibre 500, which costs \u00a329.99 a month for 24 months.<\/p>\n
The voucher is a prepaid Mastercard that you can spend online or on the high street, which you should receive within 30 days of submitting the required details after your service has been activated.<\/p>\n
Although many Britons believe that switching broadband provider is frustrating and inconvenient, loyalty doesn’t always pay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you get hit with mid-contract price rises consistently, are lumbered with poor customer service or the speed of your internet just isn’t good enough, it’s worth considering a move.<\/p>\n
This is especially true when you’re out of contract, because you shouldn’t have to pay your current provider any early termination charges to jump ship. Out-of-contract monthly prices are usually higher too, so it’s worth locking in a new deal.<\/p>\n
Since 2024, broadband customers have been able to ‘one touch switch’ to a different network. This means you should only need to get in touch with your new provider to arrange the move, rather than having to coordinate between both of them.<\/p>\n
This incentive ends on 29 October. Plusnet is offering the \u00a3145 voucher on the below packages.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the voucher, it works out at roughly a \u00a36 per month discount smoothed out over the two years, brining the cheapest package down to more like \u00a318.99 per month.<\/p>\n

Plusnet’s prices: Broadly in line with other major providers<\/p>\n
Do you need speeds of 500Mbps?<\/p>\n
It’s not the case that faster always means better, because you might end up paying for more speed than you need \u2013 and the extra horsepower will go to waste.<\/p>\n
According to Openreach, if there’s no more than four of you in the house and you mainly use the internet for streaming, video calling and working from home, you should be fine with download speeds of 50-76Mbps.<\/p>\n
You might need faster speeds \u2013 such as 500Mbps \u2013 if you stream higher quality video such as 4K, game or use virtual reality.<\/p>\n
Plusnet Full Fibre 500: It’s fast but is the price fair?\u00a0<\/p>\n
At \u00a329.99 a month for 24 months, this is a decent deal from Plusnet \u2013 and notably it’s the same price as its slower Full Fibre 300 \u2013 but there are cheaper options available.\u00a0<\/p>\n
