Your contract will stay as it is now, 10 days. However if you took up the offer of a free router you would have to pay the cost of just this if you left within a year.

Your contract would be unaffected, and depending on which product you choose you could get ADSL2+ speeds once available at the exchange (Premium and Pro offer this).

Can you please advise when ADSL2+ will be available at the Barrow-in-Furness exchange?

BT haven't given a date so it will be after the summer at the earliest.

Re: Is Plus Net in Barrow in Furness Doomed?

So why did I receive an email from PlusNet recently (and I have the sender's name) which said Your exchange should have ADSL2+ services installed by the 30th of March 2010. Kind regards Maybe he thought that's what I wanted to hear but what I wanted to hear was THE TRUTH!  Angry
Can someone from PlusNet please give a definitive answer?

The list of exchanges to be upgraded changes fairly frequently.
It doesn't look like there is currently a date set for your exchange, so it won't be by March unfortunately.

Thanks for that.
Is there somewhere where a member of the public can view this list?

Thanks for the info.
Who do I write to at BT Wholesale to ask them to put Barrow on the list?

You could try writing to Ian Livingston BT's CEO.
