Plusnet overview
Plusnet is a UK-based internet service provider (ISP) that was founded in 1997 in Sheffield, England, originally as a company providing dial-up internet services.
In 2007, BT Group (British Telecommunications) acquired Plusnet, which allowed Plusnet to leverage BT’s larger infrastructure, resources, and network, significantly improving its services.
Despite being part of BT, Plusnet has continued to operate as a separate brand, maintaining a focus on customer service and competitive pricing.
