plusNET

plusNET is one of the most cost effective ISP's in the UK. They deliver low cost internet solutions for both home users to Business users. Connections from £4.99 Dial-up right through to 2MBit ADSL Broadband connections. It's all there.

plusNET has been around since 1997, you possibly haven't heard of them before because they don't advertise in the same way as BT, AOL and Freeserve. But low cost and low advertising does not mean low quality. I've been with plusNET for over a year using a 56k Dial-up account and I can honestly say they are the best ISP I've ever used, and I've used a few including the main competitors.

The plusNET Guarantee!
If you a new plusNET user and you signup to one of plusNET's ADSL Broadband packaged you have a guarantee that if you are not completely happy with the service after 45 days, plusNET will pay you to move to another service provider! Hows that for a guarantee!!!

Customer Support

The customer support is by far the best I've seen from any ISP! Complete online portal for contacting the support team, no need to sit on the end of a phone for hours. Responses are generally quick and you can keep track of how busy the support team is at any time, so you can get an idea of when to expect a reply!

Also on the portal you can find a service status page where you can keep track of any problems which there might me with the service. The service status page also shows details of when the problem is likely to be resolved. I have NEVER seen this sort of feedback from any other ISP.

Value and Choice!

Why did I chose PlusNet?

Simple really.. I've been around many ISP's in the past (Dabsol, Freenetname, RedHotAnt, BT, Freeserve, Eclipse Internet - to name a few), I was with BT for a long time until they cancelled my account because I was using the internet too much. I then moved to Freeserve. Nice service but the support could be better, often hanging on the phone line for more than an hour waiting to get through to someone at my expense.

plusNET caught my eye, because it was cheap, reliable and their feature packed packages looked very good! PHP webspace, unlimited mailboxes, Domain hosting. It just seemed too good to be true! All this for the same price as other ISP's! I am very happy with my decision to move to plusNET

Recently my local telelephone was upgraded to support ADSL Broadband. Within 3 days of the exchange becoming active, my line was up and running and I found myself surfing on a Broadband connection 6 days before my official activation date! Now that's what I call service! Speed has been very fast from day one and no outages! There's not many ISP's out there that can deliver that sort of service at such a competitive price!

Referrals

PlusNet have a great way of marketing themselves via referrals. As an existing customer I can reccomend people like you to use plusNET as their Internet Service Provider, and in return I get a few pence off my monthly bill. Unlike most other referral schemes from other ISP's, the referral discount remains on my account for as long as you are still using plusNET. Many other ISP's simply give you a one off discount that that's it. If you choose to signup with plusNET then please signup via on of the banners on this page. Alternatively, type in my referral code 'scouk' when ordering. It's not much to ask for helping you find your new reliable ISP. :o)
