I initially read his post as a price of 2.49, not a discount, but it wasn't worth posting again to point out my mistake and no-one would re-read the original post if I edited it .

The difference in b/b price with/without phone is £2.50.

Goodness knows where his facts are coming from.

Let me explain this..... Plusnet are offering my parents below:

Fibre Unlimited 40/20 (without phone) £14.99 (18 months contract)
Activation Fee £50.00
Router £40.00 with (p&p)

Fibre Unlimited 40/20 (with phone to bring in) £12.50 (including discount of £2.49 off for 2 years with 24 months contract)
Line Rental £15.95
Anytime £5.00
Free Activation Fee
Free Router (inc P&P)

Is that good deal or bad deal? My parents got until end of this week to cancel it if the deal isn't good. Their current discount are £7.00 off for ADSL2+ Unlimited Broadband without phone is £2.99 a month for 12 months) They want fibre as ADSL2+ is rather poor speed as they only getting 7-8Meg. And their phone are current with BT since 1970.

Their call really as it is their money.

Fibre Unlimited without phone was £17.49 I thought though. You may have a discount wrong

No, my parents are on the Market B low cost area is £17.49 for Fibre without phone. Yes, it's my parents choice. With phone is £14.99 reduced to £12.50 (with discount of £2.49 for 2 years)

In reply to a post by adslmax:

Router £40.00 with (p&p)

"Get our latest 4-port wireless-n technology router worth £40 (P&P £5.99)."

Router should be free for unlimited 40/20 "broadband only" - just the P&P to pay if you want it?

according to this the router is included - P&P only https://portal.plus.net/home-broadband/broadband-only/

My parents say Plusnet sent them a router with Oldjim above is the router that my parents will be having one. I think the wifi will be ok for 40/20 fibre.

That very much depends on the house and what sort of walls etc it has as there have been a lot of gripes about the wireless coverage

If it was no good, I will buy my parents a Netgear DGND3700v2 same router what I got. Superb wifi all round. Or maybe a homeplug adaptor. Not sure if their electricity will work well as they are quite outdated electricity cable.

If their mains wiring is that outdated then a total house rewire or at the least a qualified electrician to safety test the wiring may be a wise idea
