Why it’s important you return our router

Plusnet routers are provided on a loan basis, so never throw our router in your household rubbish or leave it to gather dust in a cupboard. It’s important they’re returned to us when no longer needed.

Just a gentle reminder. If you signed up after 1 Feb 2024 and you don’t return our router, you’ll be charged a £50 fee.
