Plusnet Question

Are Plusnet owned by TalkTalk or BT?

The reason why i ask is because i've just had some talktalk salesman at the door trying to flog me broadband and told me that TalkTalk have recently taken over Plusnet.

Heard of this one before - albeit not recently.

Load of tosh, it's BT.

Thought soo, also had to laugh when he did a speed test said I could get up 8mb connection from my internet, when I know I can get 10mb speeds. When I told him this he said Plusnet only do up 8mb.

Here's a mention of same tactic from nearly a year ago: Link
They're obviously still at it!

In the past they have been up to all sorts of tricks (allegedly) e.g. slamming

That's strange, I also had that from door to door saleman telling me that TalkTalk is now the owners of Plusnet plc.

Can plusnet staff is that true ? I think plusnet is still the owner by British Telecom.

Yes BT still own Plusnet

Hi,

We're owned by BT Retail and have been for some time.

Unfortunately TalkTalk salespeople have been trying this tactic for a while.

If you have some details of the salesperson I'd appreciate you forwarding them to me.

Of course there is always the possibility that CPW will take over BT . But they haven't done so yet.
