staying with plusnet for another 18 months.

I had a email from plus net saying they can do me another 18 months at £22 a month, that is £1 less than I am paying now, so i have gone for it. I was going to wait for a bit and see when Zzoomm would get up and running here, but as I have said before, I don't really need super duper speed. So £7 a month less than Zzoomm.

I used to paying Plusnet 93p per month for FTTC 80/20 for 18 months but after referral discount there never been any billing for the last 18 months with line rental saver! lol

Well, plusnet made the offer, so I presume they rather keep me as a customer even paying a lower price than me going elsewhere.
i don't mind paying a decent price, but like other people, I don't want to pay silly prices.
We will just wait and see now what happens with Zzoomm, knowing my luck they will be up and running here by the end of January , nah, that is not going to happen.

ok i am editing this a while after first posting it, I have had an email from plusnet saying thank you for taking up the offer, and now I had a text and email, saying, sorry you are leaving us, very confused.
i have posted in their forum, maybe they will know what is going on, I presume it is an automatic system

You never know as Zzoomm might surprise u by end of January 2022. As for me FTTP will never happen in my street as I just know it because it very large fibre (FTTC) under footpath to the main road to the DP. There is no pole around here. Everything is under the ground (copper and fibre) and there seem too many houses in my street probably over 400 houses will be too much work for openreach. Might have to stay with FTTC until 2030.

Why would 400 house be too much work when they are providing it to millions?

How can the fibre optic go to million houses under the ground? Seem too much work to do for Openreach might taking them 10 years to do this!

Zzoomm is underground and they are doing the whole city, it will take until 2023 i think to do everywhere.

as i said in the Edit, I am staying with plusnet now.

I'm sure you will be okay with Plusnet and have more of your hard earned in your pocket. When it gets above 24meg, it's all about price. Just like Ms Garfield said all those years ago.

It is fine for me as long as the service stays ok. anything can happen with zzoomm at the moment, with the shortage of staff and the virus, so maybe it is best to wait. Mind you it is going to be fun when they get up here, i wonder how many people will have a go at them if they make the same mess they have been in other places, light blue touch paper and stand well back

Who is Ms Garfield ?

Your only talking about 400 houses though?
Do you think they only provide FTTP to overhead properties?
