What makes a Which? Recommended Provider?

Which? Recommended Providers are the cream of the crop, and the accolade is only given to broadband companies that achieve a customer score of 70% or above.

That's not all. We know that price is important, so companies can only be Recommended Providers if they charge a reasonable price for their services. If they charge too much they're not eligible, whatever score they receive in the survey.

What is the latest Plusnet router?

Plusnet typically supplies the Hub Zero router with its standard speed packages (this is free).

Our lab tests revealed that this basic router is easy to use and offers a reasonable level of security. It's probably sufficient for most people, but you shouldn't expect very fast transfer speeds.

Fibre deals come with Plusnet's newer Hub One router. This model has a similar look and feel to the Hub Zero. To find out more about how secure and user-friendly it is, read our full Plusnet Hub One review.

Plusnet broadband deals

Plusnet offers both standard broadband and fibre broadband deals. You can choose whether you'd prefer a contract lasting 12 or 18 months.

Plusnet doesn't have any usage limits on its packages, although it does manage traffic, prioritising certain content in busy periods.
