'Tis the season to switch your broadband contract!
For a limited time, Plusnet is offering £145 to anyone who switches to its broadband plans. Even better, the telecom has just unleashed a slew of new offers across its full-fibre packages — so it's one of the most affordable times to sign up for a Plusnet contract.
Whether you're looking to cut your monthly broadband bills or switch to faster full-fibre speeds so you can stream films, back up photos to the cloud, and more, at peak times — it's going to be tough to beat the latest broadband deal from Plusnet.
For a limited time, the broadband firm will send you a £145 Reward Card when you sign up to one of its broadband deals. The Reward Card is a prepaid Mastercard that can be spent anywhere that accepts Mastercard, which is, pretty much, anywhere.
That means you'll be able to use the free £145 to put towards your Christmas shopping this season, treat yourself to something new, or even use the prepaid Mastercard to take money off your monthly broadband bills with Plunset — removing any cost for the first few months, depending on the exact package you've picked.
Plusnet relies on Openreach's nationwide network of broadband, so if you're able to connect to BT, Sky Broadband, TalkTalk, and Vodafone, to name just a few — you'll be able to switch to Plusnet without an issue. Since it doesn't own and operate its own full-fibre network, like Virgin Media and smaller brands like Hyperoptic, you're reliant on Openreach to upgrade your local area to full-fibre to access the fastest broadband speeds available.
Plusnet will pay you up to £145 to switch to its latest deals
Plusnet is offering you up to £145 Reward Card to anyone who signs up for its latest raft of full-fibre broadband deals. If you're able to connect to fibre broadband with BT, Sky, or TalkTalk, then you'll be able to enjoy the same speeds with Plusnet. Its Full Fibre 145 plan is a particularly good deal at £24.99 a month, with average download speeds of 145Mbps — and a guaranteed minimum of 80Mbps. Plusnet has slashed the £20 one-off activation fee, so you'll pay nothing for postage and activation of your new internet package

If you're part of the majority, you'll be able to upgrade to Plusnet's Full Fibre 145 package. As the name implies, this broadband bundle offers download speeds of 145Mbps — that's about twice as fast as the average home internet speed in the UK just a few years ago. For context, Netflix recommends a minimum download speed of 5Mbps to watch its shows and films in 1080p HD.
With 145Mbps under your belt, your broadband will be able to handle streaming from multiple devices around the house in HD without any buffering. You'll also be able to back-up data, make video calls, control smart lights and video doorbells, and other connected devices at the same time.
At just £24.99 per month, this is one of the cheapest packages for this full-fibre from a major nationwide broadband. Plusnet has slashed the £20 one-off activation fee, so you'll pay nothing for postage and activation of your new internet package.
For comparison, BT charges £27.99 a month for its 150Mbps speeds.
Sky Broadband and TalkTalk are running very similar deals to Plusnet, as Sky is charging £25 per month for its 150Mbps speed in its "lowest ever price." Talktalk is also charging only £25 for a 24-month contract. However, you'll have to forgo the £145 Reward Card.
As you'd expect given the fact that BT is the parent company for Plusnet, its Hub Two shares many of the same features as the BT Smart Hub 2, so expect better handling of dozens of smart home gadgets.
Full-fibre plans from Plusnet carry a 24-month minimum term, so you won't be able to switch to another provider or deal without paying an early termination fee for the first two years. Plusnet is a little ahead of the curve and doesn't include a traditional landline with any of its plans.
You'll enjoy unlimited download usage, free activation, and a Wi-Fi router, dubbed the Plusnet Hub Two.

For those with a home brimming with video doorbells, smart speakers, Wi-Fi-connected thermostats, and more... this should provide a big boost for connectivity.
Between the Wi-Fi router and the extra bandwidth provided by the full-fibre connection, you should avoid slowdowns and buffering.
Plusnet will send a £145 Reward Card to anyone who signs-up for its Full Fibre 145, Full Fibre 300, Full Fibre 500, and Full Fibre 900 plans.
Meanwhile, the Fibre broadband with 66Mbps speeds available from Plusnet is £22.99 and comes with a £75 Reward Card.
