Internet provider PlusNet looks set to raise the price of its pre-paid Line Rental Saver service by around £1 next month, which means that some of their broadband bundles could end up costing a little more than they do today.
The change, which was originally due to take place yesterday but has since been delayed to July, means that customers whom opt to save money by paying 12 months of their phone line rental in advance (currently £113.88 or £9.49 a month) will now be charged £125.88 (£10.49 a month) instead.

My average phone bill is £zero, so I would like a discount for low usage clients.

That's a fair idea PlusComUK, it would probably be more relevant to those with low usage months on Anytime as we still have our supplier costs to cover as far as line rental is concerned.

Same old story the loyal customers paying for all the free promotions and TV adverts. Sky packages are looking very attractive.

About the only thing that stopped me moving to them before was the extortionate cost of caller id (£2.50/month) but given that most of the calls I am getting now have id withheld this is of little use.
NB this isn't an upfront cost (12*6.29 but 6.29 per month)

Not so much of a saving now..
According to recent reports, Plusnet is to raise its line rental charge for all customers who choose to go for the Line Rental Saver option.
From next month onwards, the money-saving option will cost £1 per month more which means some of Plusnet's bundles are going to get a tad more expensive.
In more detail, the provider's Line Rental Saver option, which requires customers to pay the line rental charge for 12 months up front, currently costs £113.88, which equals to £9.49 per month. In July, this will rise to £125.88 or a monthly cost of £10.49.
It is also worth saying that those who don't wish to opt for the Saver option will remain unaffected and continue paying the same amount - £12.99 per month.

Quote from: glloyd One other point - BT and PlusNet seem to increase their call and rental charges every six months yet we see no mention of BT wholesale price increases. In fact when the last price increase was announced in December I asked had wholesale prices increased and it was met with silence.
Ever heard of a Cartel?
What some other users are perhaps forgetting is the the basic line rental is more expensive with BT Retail, so at the end of the day you need to look at what you actually need from your phone service, and whether or not you enjoy chatting to Mumbai !
