Company history

Company history

Plusnet has been providing internet services since the company started out over a decade ago. In 1994, Plusnet established itself as a dial-up ISP and has continued to move with the times by expanding its horizons to broadband. In 2004 Plusnet doubled the size of its customer base and is now one of the UK’s leading ISPs with almost 250,000 customers.

The company as it currently exists is the amalgamation of 3 other communications companies; Force9, Free-Online and Metronet. By working in conjunction with these sister companies Plusnet draws from a bank of technological expertise, giving them the know-how to be a highly competent ISP. Plusnet’s connections with BT Broadband also mean that they will soon be bringing you the latest broadband technology, such as the BT Home Hub setup.

Plusnet has a pragmatic work ethic and is dedicated to providing good quality services at the lowest possible rates. Moreover, the company have won several awards for their customer service showing that they are geared towards what you want as an internet user.

  • All good never had a problem. Virgin is twice the price, twice the length and it hardly worked.

    Kudos to Plusnet, altogether with phone line rental, I pay under 18 quid a month for superfast DSL.

  • Plusnet has best support staff I've ever come across. They're proper experts, not like at some of the larger companies where it feels like they can't deviate from a pre-prepared script.

    Full marks to them.
