Hello there, It's been a while since we've been in touch about the latest developments at Plusnet, so we thought it was time for a quick round-up of our news. As you see, it's awards season again so we are likely to have a busy few months. We're also campaigning to get the mobile termination rates reduced- so that your bill can go down even further. Enjoy reading - and remember that there's more community news over at our community site. |

At the end of April uSwitch published their annual Broadband Customer Satisfaction Survey, where we were placed joint 1st for Technical Support, as well as featuring in the top three in seven other categories and even improving on our scores from 2009 in some cases. We were quite chuffed to get another endorsement of our award-winning service, so thanks to all those who took part in the survey.

We're really pleased to announce we will be sponsoring the ‘Digital Inclusion' award at this year's ISPAs. This award, run in partnership with Race Online 2012, will recognise the person, company or project that's done the most to help the millions of people who aren't online in the UK. You can find out more about the award in our blog.
We're also up for an ISPA award ourselves, for ‘Best Consumer Customer Service'. In case you haven't heard of ISPA before, it's the Internet Service Providers' Association, and they're the industry body representing ISPs.

As well as great value broadband, we offer a Home Phone service that's packed with lots of useful features. Both our talk plans offer inclusive calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers, as well as to normal UK landlines1 (on our Talk Evenings and Weekends package, off-peak times are 6pm-6am, and during weekends). Plus you get 300 minutes of calls to our top 20 international destinations each month, and you can even get free voicemail2.
If you're not already enjoying one of our Home Phone talk plans you can get full details on all the features here.

Our Home Phone service offers great value, but we're always looking for ways to help you save more. We all know that calls to mobiles are expensive, and whilst we offer 25% off our mobile call rates with our Anytime talk plan, we really want to offer more. Thing is, there's one big issue in the way. That's mobile termination rates. It sounds complicated, but it's just the price we pay to the mobile operators for connecting a call to their network – typically it's about 4p per minute, but it can be as a high as 80% of the pence per minute rate, so it can make up the biggest part of a call to a mobile number. By comparison, we typically get 0.3p per minute for a mobile operator connecting to our network.
We're keen to get termination rates reduced, so we've joined the ‘Terminate the Rate' campaign to try and get these fees down as soon as possible. Find out more by reading our blog.
