20Mb speed boost for Plusnet Value customers

Value customers signed up to Plusnet broadband (www.Plus.net) can now enjoy speeds of up to 20Mb at no extra charge.

The package previously only offered speeds of up to 8Mb broadband, with the faster speeds reserved for Plusnet Extra customers.

But as of yesterday, even those customers signed up to the cheaper Value package can get speeds of up to 20Mb broadband.

Plusnet Value comes with a relatively low 10GB download allowance - though customers can also take advantage of the provider’s free overnight downloads between midnight and 8am.

The package is the UK’s cheapest standalone broadband, costing from just £6.49 a month.

Plusnet also offers a high-end Extra package, offering speeds of up to 20Mb with a 60GB allowance and free overnight downloads from £11.49 a month.

The award-winning broadband provider is currently offering three months free broadband for customers who sign up by 31 August.

Michael Phillips, Broadbandchoices.co.uk product director, said: “Plusnet’s Value package upgrade has made it a far more competitive deal, offering speeds of up to 20Mb at the cheapest possible price.

“Faster broadband lets you make even more of the internet, with seamless video and catch-up TV streaming, faster downloads, video calls and even high-definition gaming,” he added.

Both Plusnet packages can also be bundled with home phone deals offering evening and weekend or anytime calls as well as its own line rental at £11.25 a month.
