About changing your Plusnet broadband, home phone or other services
Find out how to change your products and services.
Product change information
You can make changes to your package by going to Offers and Upgrades in the My Account or by contacting us.
Certain products can be added or changed straight away. However, some changes can only take place on your next billing date after you request a change is made. We'll always aim to tell you when a particular change can be made.
Sometimes there may be a charge payable so we can carry out a product change. Any one-off charges in respect of a product change will need to be made by credit or debit card at the time of the product change. If you pay your subscription charges by Direct Debit, your card details will only be used for any one-off payments (unless you opt to change to pay your subscription in this way going forward).
Once your product change has been completed you'll have to pay all the appropriate charges applicable to that product. Also any early termination charges will be recalculated based on the cost of the new product and the remaining period of the current contract. All charges can be found in our Price Guide (for residential customers) or our Charges Schedule (for business customers).
Rules for current products (Unlimited, Unlimited Fibre and Unlimited Fibre Extra)
If you want to upgrade from standard broadband to fibre broadband you'll have to enter into a new contract (and agree a new minimum term). When moving from standard broadband to fibre broadband, an installation charge may be payable as set out in our Price Guide. You'll also need a different router which we'll normally provide for free (but you'll have to pay for any postage & packing as set out in our Price Guide).
Switching between our fibre broadband products won't change the length of your contract (i.e. you won't have to agree to any additional minimum contract term) and no administration charges apply.
Once your product change has been completed you'll have to pay all the appropriate charges applicable to the new product (e.g. your subscription charges and any early termination charges will be recalculated based on the cost of the new product).
