I suspect in your areas they are doing a special deal so not their regular pricing as 500Mbps is never normally £32.99

Altnets can do 500 for lower... where available.

We are talking specifically BT and Plusnet

Thats not what I'm seeing, they are

BT 500Mbps - £43.99
Plusnet 500Mbps - £39.99

I suspect in your areas BT are doing a special deal so not BT's regular pricing as BT 500Mbps is never normally £32.99


Edit1: I just put the post code in for 'White Lodge Hotel' in your area and I can see BT are charging £32.99 for BT 500Mbps but its got a big bright label above it that say 'Special Deal' which proves my point.

Edit2: Added clarity that this post is about BT and Plusnet

Oh yeah it is a special deal, but still cheaper.
I think BT is trying harder around here at the moment because of Zzoomm, I have noticed a increase in leaflets from different providers around here, including Talk Talk, not seen one from them for a few years

£24.99 here at the moment for a 12 month contract. I thought it was a special offer for me only . It did not say it was, but I just thought it was.
150Mb/s is £20, if I had known that when I went for mine I would have gone for that instead of the 500Mb/s. Still never mind.
12 months contract, so that is good.

That is true. I liked Plusnet, they were pretty good, considering they belong to BT, I hope they do keep going, If I was still with them and they pushed me onto EE, I would have moved.

Earlier today agreed a new 2 year contract with them, moving from FTTC to FTTP ... so their management are still planning to be around for a while.

The proposition cannot be discounted that Plusnet are continuing to sign up customers with the view that those customers could be asked transfer to another part of the BT empire at some date in the future. That date could be already part of the internal plans with the expectation that most of the customer base will fall for the inertia marketing and just tick the box.

Maybe ...

Someone referred to PN offering 12 month contracts
Can that be confirmed

12 & 18 month available on FTTC, but not from what I saw and heard on FTTP.
