3. Service Characteristics

Broadband Speeds

When you choose your broadband service with us we'll give you a
speed estimate in the form of a range, in Megabits per second
(Mbps). Under normal circumstances the speed you get should fall
within this range.

We'll also give you a Minimum Guaranteed Speed. If your speed


consistently falls below this value you should contact us. We'll try to
fix the issue and aim to get your speed above the minimum we gave
Minimum Guaranteed Speed
you, and if possible, within your original speed estimate range.

If we can't get this resolved within a minimum period of 30 days you


should contact us. You'll be given the opportunity to leave your
contract without an early termination charge.

For more information please see https://www.plus.net/help/legal


/ofcom-voluntary-speed-code-of-practice/

Our broadband packages don't have any speed restrictions or restrict your usage or downloads. So, if you're on one of
our packages, you don't need to worry about us slowing you down even at peak times. We won't slow down peer-to-
peer file sharing either. More information is available here https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/about-traffic-
prioritisation/

Just so you know, the speed ranges we show are estimates. Your actual speed depends on your location, line, home
wiring, Wi-fi connection and time of day. It can vary throughout the day and can be slower during busy periods,
especially between 8 - 10pm. This is the equivalent of internet rush hour when lots of people are using the shared
parts across the network at the same time. So faster broadband speeds means faster downloads of content such as
music or films.

One-off charges

Total One-Off Charges £0.00

The monthly price for broadband, line rental, call plans, call charges and any BT Sport service (where that BT Sport service
was signed up to on or after 9th December 2020) will be increased on or after 1st March each year by the Consumer Price
Index (CPI) rate of inflation published in January of that year plus 3.9% (rounded up to the nearest whole pence).
Example Calculation

If CPI were 10.5% (this was the CPI rate published in January 2023 that was used for our increase of March 2023), the total
price increase would be 14.4%. If your monthly price for broadband, line rental and any call plans was £25/month, it would
increase to £28.60 after that change. Call charges and the price of any BT Sport services would also increase by CPI +3.9%,
so in this example 14.4%. The CPI rate fluctuates over time so the applicable CPI rate and actual increase each year could
be higher or lower than in this example. See our terms and conditions https://www.plus.net/help/legal/ and https://www.plus.net
/help/legal/cpi-plus-guide/.

We'll also increase the cost of international calls (from your landline in the UK to other countries) when our third party partners
put the cost up for us. See our terms and conditions https://www.plus.net/help/legal/.

We may also increase any charges at any time. If we do, you may be able to end the service early without paying early
termination charges. See our terms and conditions https://www.plus.net/help/legal/.

Broadband Provisioning date

If you're new to Plusnet, we'll aim to get your broadband up and running within 2 weeks, although this can sometimes take
longer.

6. Switching to Plusnet

Switching your broadband to Plusnet

Move your broadband in 3 simple steps:

1. Choose one of our great value broadband packages. No need to contact your current provider – we'll do that for you
(unless you're with Virgin Media*)
2. We'll give you a switching date – normally within 2 weeks, unless you choose a later one. Your new Plusnet Hub will arrive
by post. It's specially designed to fit through most letter boxes.
3. We'll text you when your Plusnet Broadband is activated. Then you just connect your Plusnet Hub yourself.

*If you're a Virgin Media customer, contact both Plusnet and Virgin Media so you can coordinate the start of your service with
the end of your old one. This is the best way to prevent a break in your service, or paying for overlapping services.

Switching your Home Phone to Plusnet

• If you currently have your telephone services with another company (for example a cable operator), then we should be able
to switch your number over to Plusnet. We'll give you a switching date when you order. It's normally within 2 weeks, unless
you choose a later date. We'll let you know if this isn't possible when ordering.

• All you need to do is tell us what company you're using and the telephone number you want to bring over

• You won't be charged for this transfer. We'll work with your current cable provider to make sure that you don't have a break
in your service. And, if for any reason we can't transfer your number to Plusnet, we'll give you a new number for free.
• If you're moving home within your own telephone exchange area you may be able to take your current phone number with
you. There's no charge for this service.

Termination:

When you want to end your service you generally have two options:

• to just stop receiving the service from us and to move to another provider.

When speaking to us about ending your service please be clear on whether you're ceasing your service or moving to a new
provider. This will prevent any confusion and your service being ceased unnecessarily (with the cost of a new provider re-
activating the line and the hassle of the associated service downtime).

You may not need to pay early termination charges to end a service during the minimum term if we've made a change to it.

situations where you're able to cancel a linked contract without having to pay early termination charges to leave early, you
may also be able to cancel this contract. See our terms and conditions for more information.

10. Right to cancel


You have a 14-day cooling off period in case you change your mind and want to cancel your service. If you cancel during this
cooling off period, you'll have to pay for the services you have used, any applicable installation, connection or activation
charges (including the full cost of any charges that were discounted or advertised as free as a condition of taking services on
the terms that you agreed) and return any equipment provided. You must return equipment within 14 days of telling us you
want to cancel at your own cost and, if you don't, you'll have to pay the full price of the equipment. If you return the equipment
to us later, we'll waive or return what you have been charged for the equipment.

As Plusnet Protect and any BT Sport services are digital content which is available immediately, once you start downloading
content you'll lose the 14 day cooling off period to change your mind for these.

Please see our terms and conditions https://www.plus.net/help/legal/ for more details.
