PN increase minimum term (adsl) from 12 to 18 month

[#1]

Yes - not a good sign, as it seems PlusNet are once again pushing at 18 month contracts.
They did this a few years ago, and back then there was no option to not have one.
Be sad if history repeated itself.

The 18 month contract is to allow us to have the current offer. As far as I'm aware we're not going to be making this the standard contract length.

The way I read it is that the 18 month contract term is specific to this offer, they probably couldn't risk offering £2.99/month for 9 months with a 12 month minimum term (reducing the average effective price over 12 months to £4.74 per month) but they must think it's economically viable with an 18 month minimum term (with an average price over the term of £6.49), does that suggest that other customers could be paying £6.49 per month and the rest is extra profit (I know there are other factors of course but this is all Plusnet are guaranteeing themselves from this offer)?

I still think the best way of building a long term stable business is to offer ALL customers a good price (along with the good service we expect) and people than stay for the long term as well as recommending the business to others.

Have you noticed that comments from a month ago are far less negative?
I wonder why....
