Hi all.
I've just been quoted £197.88 re. the line rental saver. My current one expires on 31.7.18 which is about 2 months away.
If I renew about a week before it expires, will the price remain the same?
Thanks.

I don't think it is Plusnet's policy to speculate what might happen to product prices ahead of announcing a change (with the appropriate 30 days notice).
However since a price refresh comes into force on 5th June 2018 and that states the cost of line rental is not changing I think there is a good chance today's Line Rental Saver prices will still apply at the end of July.
In any case if there was an increase it would be announced 30 days in advance, and past practice has been to allow renewal orders at current price ahead of the increase even if the price would have increased by the day the new order takes effect.

Whatever, you can renew LRS up to 3 months in advance of its expiry … at "today's" price. I did that at my last renewal - the 3 month threshold occurred one day prior to the new rates coming into effect.

Hi @Cagney1994, I'm not aware of plans to change the LRS price, however it's not something I'd be able to give 100% confirmation on.

@HarryB - Thanks. And it's shocking that a mere 3 years ago, LRS was £155.88 compared to now: £197.88.
That's a £14 increase each year from 2015 to 2018

So in Ofcom's words, over the last 10 years the average line rental increase is up 34% whilst the wholesale cost to the ISPs is down 31%. Who wants to propose that we give three cheers to Ofcom for protecting the consumers interest?

Ofcom did cut prices for customers who don't have broadband.
Meanwhile, the amount of bandwidth being used keeps increasing, and it has to be paid for somehow.
