Product Change and Line Rental Saver questions

Could anyone help please?
I currently have Plusnet broadband and home phone. I am on a deal which means the broadband cost is deducted from my bills and I just pay line rental. I would like to add a call package. I know how to do this through the Product Change Tool. However, will I keep my broadband discount? The website seems to imply that I will be starting a new contract with Plusnet, rather than just adding a call package to an existing contract.
Secondly, is it possible to set up Line Rental Saver part-way through a contract? I'm 10 months into a 12-month contract and I've just found out about LRS. Can it be done pro rata for terms of less than 12 months?
Many thanks for your help!

First question - it shouldn't have any effect but it might be better to await staff response
Second question - no you can't it is 12 months or nothing so setting it up now would mean that it has 10 months to run when your present deal runs out (not a good idea)

Thank you Oldjim! The Liner Rental Saver definitely isn't worthwhile then. I'll wait and see what staff say about the first question, as you suggest.

I too have this problem. My broadband deal was set up in February and my LRS was set up in April the previous year. So they are never going to be in sync unless I let the LRS expire and pay the extra monthly line rental and renew LRS in February 2018.
There is also the additional problem that all broadband deals now include line rental so how does that impact on LRS and future broadband deals? I am stuck with a fixed term deal until Feb 2018, so I am in a really difficult situation.

I was wondering the same thing.

You should keep your broadband discount and I believe your phone contract should stay the same if you're just changing call plan.
If you'd like to put this through online and let me know when you've done so, I'll double check over the account to ensure everything is as it should be.
Unfortunately with LRS, we wouldn't offer a discounted rate/pro-rata payment of this against 2 months as the idea behind it is, a cheaper cost for committing to the 12 months line rental.

It's not so much that all broadband deals include line rental. There is still separate pricing for broadband and phone, however the way we have to advertise cost now has to combine the two prices in to one figure.
We'd still be able to offer a discounted rate against the broadband cost if you opted to pay LRS.
The broken down pricing for packages can be found in the price guide Here.
I hope this helps.

Thank you @HarryB.
The list you attach is very complex and not easily understood. I am glad that I do not have to make a decision on my broadband package until February 2018, it may take until then to understand where I fit into the complex structure. The LRS part of my deal will need to be reviewed in April of this year.

Thank you very much, HarryB!
I've made the change now. Should I PM you my account details? Which details do you need to know?
