New Customer : Is Plusnet Router Compulsory or a Delete Option when Signing Up ?

I'm actually a returning customer. Previously I was on basic Plusnet Broadband, then went fibre with Shell.

The router/modem they suppled was a Technovision, and it would take minutes to recognise my printer when I needed to use it.

I bought a BT modem, and a s/h Apple router of about 10 years old. A delight to use, as well as looking good. Recognises my printer in about 5 seconds. 

 

I'd like to keep this router and modem configuration, so am asking if, when signing up to Plusnet, I can say no thank you to the Plusnet supplied modem, or do I  have no choice other than to receive the Plusnet device ?

 You can certainly say that you don’t want it, send it back for free or keep it as a spare to be used if you have a problem. 
Ring the Customer Options Team on 0800 013 2632 and discuss it with them.

PlusNet have always been happy for customers to use their own equipment.

 

If required, settings can be found in the Help pages.

@trufflehunt 

a suggestion would be to accept the offer of a Hub Two and use it in bridge mode (as a modem) to replace the rather old Openreach modem.
