Hi all,
A bit fed up with the ludicrous line rental charges and have seen better savings elsewhere, is it permitted to have line rental with another company if you have fibre with plusnet?
Cheers,
Ollie

Hey Ollie,
Fibre only packages are available as per Jim's link, though it does make the broadband product slightly more expensive.
As you're not in contract at the moment, it might be worth contacting our Customer Options team on 08000132632 to see if we can offer you a better price. There's no queue at the moment.

Ah yes, thanks all, I see. So the surcharge really makes it pointless to go elsewhere for line rental.

The surcharge is £2.50 a month so it may still be worthwhile going else where IF you can save more than that. Remember to include call costs in any calculations of possible savings.
Also do not switch to an LLU phone line as this will stop the Plusnet FTTC working! Any potential phone provider must use BT Wholesale.

Please note, without both Fibre and phone line from Plusnet you cannot have their TV service (just in case you were interested in that), also having Broadband Only (ADSL or Fibre) tends to mean that the best discount offers are not available.
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.
