The thomson o2 box IV is 'locked' to O2 and will not be usable on Plusnet.
I presume you mean a TG582n , that should work fine although some people have dissapointing results with it's wireless. If your friend is still with PlusNet he needs to get the router dissassociated from his account otherwise the auto setup will use his login details on your connection.
Quote a friend thinks he has a technicolor TG592n which has plusnet logo but no USB port

Have a look at this youtube video at how to unlock the o2 TG582n. o2 wireless box IV clearly shown at start of video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT0qqg8FCxI
I had a o2 wb4 (v8.4.4.J) and vaguely recalled last spring I may have tried the above procedure but ran into problems. (I think I may have used a different later version of the setup wizard than the one shown in the video but don't quote me)
Eventually, I just manually FTPed the new template file onto the o2 box. Then logged into the o2 box and fired up the setup wizard and the new setup options became available. However, I never got around to testing it because I don't have ADSL here, but I do have access to ADSL line at another site.
My advice would be to get hold of a router which will guarantee to work on your line when it goes live rather than messing about trying to unlock your o2 box. On the other hand, if you are able to unlock the o2 box and test it on a friend's BTw ADSL line, then at least you will be confident it will work on your new Plusnet connection.

I'm just hoping the speed improves, on O2 now Sky I've been getting 7.1 Mbps and on plusnet I'm only getting 2.7 mbps which won't cope with iplayer HD
the tech team member did say it needs a few days to settle.
Many thanks for the helpful replies.
