Plusnet Essential Broadband Bundle

Plusnet Review | Review of Plusnet Essential

STOP PRESS! For an extra £8 a month you can DOUBLE the upload speed of this (or any) Plusnet package, by signing up to their Max Premium product once you are a Plusnet customer.

THE Plusnet Essential broadband and phone bundle package is awaiting a review from our editors. We can tell you however that you get a super cheap broadband package - just £6.99 a month - along with free weekend calls when you take the Plusnet line rental for £10.

Collectively this makes the package just £16.99 including line rental.

Totally unlimited off peak

The best feature of this - and any package from Plusnet - is that you are given totally unlimited (no fair use policy!) broadband usage between midnight and 8am, which means you can schedule your downloads and torrents to operate overnight only and never need to see a usage warning again.

	Plusnet Essential is currently offering 90 day moneyback guarantee if switching from another provider.

"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."
