Well that’s exactly what we’re offering. That and award-winning broadband.
We'd like to treat you to free broadband for 3 months.

Thank you.  Cheesy  Kiss

Simply sign up with Plusnet before 31st August and you’ll get three months’ broadband absolutely free.

Our customers have lots of great things to say about us.

We sent this email to you because you have a relationship with BT.

And because we forgot to check whether you are already a Plusnet broadband customer.  Roll_eyes
Hey ho.

We flagged this as soon as we realised it had happened, we didn't filter the list of email addresses properly before sending the emails. Oops!
