Stuff you need to know
1 - Why 'up to' 8Mb?
Broadband is described as 'up to' 8Mb because download speeds will vary depending on your telephone line and where you live. The average speed on up to 8Mb broadband is 5-6Mb. BT Wholesale estimates that 78% of customers will get download speeds of 4Mb and above. Download speeds will vary a lot in the first 10 days after connection and will then become more consistent.
2 - Essential included calls are to standard UK landline numbers beginning with 01, 02 & 03. Weekends are 18:00 Fri - 08:00 Mon. All calls outside of your inclusive minutes are subject to minimum charges. All inclusive calls have a maximum free call length of 60 minutes for 01, 02, 03 and Plusnet Home Phone customers. After this they will be charged at the standard prevailing rate. Please check the Home Phone FAQs for more details about Home Phone call charges.
3 - This gives you free calls to other Plusnet Broadband Phone users and customers of our partnered VoIP providers. Calls to landlines, mobiles and international numbers can be made at low cost rates.
