Why Families Are Leaving Plusnet

Plusnet, owned by BT, has built a reputation for good customer service. But their prices have steadily increased, and being owned by BT means their costs are higher than truly independent providers.

Here's what's happening right now:

  • Plusnet is owned by BT — their pricing reflects BT's cost structure, not an independent challenger
  • Annual price rises mean your introductory deal quickly becomes an expensive habit
  • Plusnet's fastest speeds can't match full fibre alternatives available from other providers
  • Out-of-contract customers pay significantly more — Plusnet won't proactively move you to a cheaper deal

Common Questions About Switching From Plusnet

Not anymore. While Plusnet was once known for budget-friendly broadband, their prices have increased significantly. BT ownership means their cost base is higher than independent challengers. A free SaveFirst audit will find you a better deal.

With SaveFirst, you don't have to do anything. Send us your current Plusnet bill (a photo on WhatsApp is fine), and we handle everything. The broadband switchover is seamless with no gap in service.

Plusnet email addresses (@plusnet.com) may not be transferable after switching. If this matters to you, we'll advise on options. Most customers have already moved to free email services like Gmail or Outlook.

Yes, completely free. We're paid by the provider when you switch — you never pay us anything. If we can't save you money, nobody pays anything and you stay exactly where you are.

The Bottom Line

Plusnet's customer service is great — but great service at a premium price isn't the only option. You can get good service AND save money at the same time.

A free SaveFirst audit takes 2 minutes and covers all your bills. If we can't save you money, you stay with Plusnet and nothing changes. If we can — and most families save £34/month or more — it's all yours.

There's literally no downside. The only risk is waiting another month.
