Hi All
I am currently on Plusnet since 2000 , I am on the unlimited fibre extra with anytime calls paying £42.

Being made redundant recently I can't afford paying this amount anymore :( . Plusnet have offered a new 18mth contract which is £26.99 but does not include the new price rises which will get applied from 7th October

Any Suggestions. Should I look at another provider who can offer better deal

If that price includes your calls it seems pretty good.

If it's just broadband you're looking for TalkTalk will do it for the same price with £60 cashback through TopCashBack and they don't raise their prices while you're in contract.

i just had the same letter, phoned them up and said whats your best deal and got a 24 month contract with unlimited phone calls and fibre extra, getting speeds of 74 meg down and 18.5 up. I pay for line rental yearly to save money and i pay £18 a month for the contract which is £1 less than the last contract. Phone them up and say you want a better deal, I do it every year and tell them you will move on if the price is not better, all ways works for me, been with plusnet over 10 years now.Try it :)

Cant believe you was paying £42 for the same contract as me when I was paying £19 diabolical!

Phone line rental is £197 per year which saves you about £40 a year for paying up front I think, not sure of exact saving but its worth it. Also told these prices are fixed for the 24 month contract

Price only going up AFAIK if you're out of contract - which is daft as it means you're paying too much for your internet ;)

I'm still contracted @ £26pm on 'Fixed price - Unlimited Fibre Extra' with no price rise :p

Do you really need The unlimited calls? Most mobiles come with that.
