1) They offer 12-month contracts, or monthly if you pay for the joining fee (and router if taken) on sign-up.

In fact it is pointless paying up-front.  Always take the 12-month contract.

All that happens if you wish to leave within the 12 months is you have to pay those if you didn’t in the first place. If you stay the 12 months the charges are cancelled from your account.

Note that they only require 10 days notice on broadband and/or Home Phone. So it isn’t really “monthly” anyway.

2) They are (commendably)  one of the few ISPs to publish their traffic management details.

3) Although they do not advertise email hosting on their website, if you do not enter an email address when signing up online an email hosting account is created for you.

If you do enter your existing email address, you can still get a Plusnet one later if you wish.

Note that no webspace facilities are available to go with it.

Existing customers on legacy packages can retain any webspace/email if they regrade to a current package.

4) Always check the cashback sites listed on this page.

5) Plusnet hold a copy of the BT IP Profile, as mentioned on the Old IP Profile page. On non-WBC connections it is as per the table on that page, on WBC-type connections the IP Profile is approximately 88.28% of the connection speed and the Plusnet copy is rounded down to the hundred below the actual.

It is available to you in the user portal once you have logged in, on this link.
