Second Plus Net fibre line

[#1]

Hi all,
Just a quick one - do Plusnet offer two lines to residential properties? We have on with fibre on it already and am just investigating a second one.
Thanks
Ben

you can have as many additional lines installed as you want.
you'll pay line rental and broadband fees on it though.

[#3]

You certainly can, though it'll need the sign up of a new account.

[#4]

Don't forget to refer yourself if you do though so that you get a referral discount on the first account

[#5]

That's good news - I may consider it then.
Would there be an install or new line charge for this? I guess I'd have to phone up for a specific deal.

[#6]

I enquired about this a while back, and yes it's like getting a new line in so you'd pay an install / activation charge of £50 (IIRC)

[#7]

It'd simply be a second account, so new username, phone number etc.

[#8]

and you can refer yourself

[#9]

Thanks guys. I like the fact you can refer yourself! I'll have to look up the benefits of that.

[#10]

I guess if I did do this then the Plusnet supplied TV - Youview+ - would need to be pushed down the connection its assigned to, rather than load balancing across both connections?

[#11]

That would be the case yes, you will assign a single connection to the box.

[#12]

That's cool - thanks.
Not been on these forums much before but the responses are great, even from Plusnet themselves. Loads better than previous ISP's forums I've used.

[#13]

Sorry to hijack the thread, but is there some sort of QoS in place to make sure that someone downloading doesn't cause the TV to buffer?

[#14]

We have traffic prioritisation, so that realtime services shouldn't be impacted by those that aren't as time-sensitive.

[#15]

Thought so, cheers Chris
