Early termination fees?

How much will it cost to terminate the fibre broadband contract before expiry?

I am thinking of moving house. Unfortunately in few of the shortlisted addresses there is no fibreoptic broadband availability yet !!

thanks mate...

according to that link my monthly early termination charge will be £ 5.75.

am i right in understanding that if i leave when 6 months left on my contract i should pay plusnet:

6 x 5.75 = £ 34.50

and if so does it include phone termination as well?

That's right, as for the phone, it's probably on a monthly contract unless you have taken out Line Rental Saver, in which case there is normally no refund.

Does this apply also?

"Phone early termination charges
13. Contracted phone packages (after 18th December 2012) are subject to a minimum period of 12 / 18 (with broadband) or 18 (with fibre) months. The following monthly early termination charges apply for customers choosing to end their Plusnet Talk service within this period (Excluding Line Rental Saver customers).

Plusnet Weekends £4.80...[etc. etc.]"

Uh uh?

So it depends when he joined. Before 18/12/12 by the sound of it, as 6 months fibre outstanding if that was his contract not just an example.

i joined in january 2013....
planning to move by xmas...

well but in the termination charges there is no mention of with or without phone!!

You might be able to transfer the Plusnet broadband and phone package to the new address without penalty even if it necessitates a change to ADSL?

oh not adsl again mate.. that estimate is about 3 - 4 mbps!!
some areas i am looking at which doesnt have fibre has vm cable..

so i can have fast bb with them...basically i will have more choice of homes to look at it..
if the termination fee is less than £50/- i think its a reasonable trade off to having vm cable rather than adsl..

That's because you looked at the broadband termination charges. See the quote I gave earlier. The phone termination charges are lower down the page, that paragraph followed bt Table 3.6. Not applicable if you are on Line Rental Saver of course.
