If you are thinking about getting fibre broadband but have previously been discouraged by the price, you're in luck. Plusnet has decided to half the cost of its latest FTTC offering for three months.

This means that for the first three months you will be paying £8.24 per month and £16.49 thereafter if you choose to go for the Plusnet Value pack.

However, the price slashing promotion applies to all fibre offerings, more detail about some of these is as follows:

Fibre Value with inclusive Evening & Weekend Calls
•  Download speeds of up to 40Mbps
• Monthly usage allowance of 40GB (unlimited between midnight and 8am)
• Free Wi-Fi router
• Based on 18 months
• Free evening and weekend calls to UK landlines

Price: £8.24 for the first three months and £16.49 thereafter. It must be noted that as per usual, the additional line rental charge of £9.49 per month is still a must.

Fibre Value with FREE Anytime Calls
•  Download speeds of up to 40Mbps
• Monthly usage allowance of 40GB (unlimited between midnight and 8am)
