As she is your mum I assume she is over 70 and therefore classed as vulnerable and so can't be left without a "landline service". > > What is Plusnet's business going to be if they don't offer any of email, > phone and broadband? > they only offer broadband. most customers only want broadband. > > It seems that PN will continue providing broadband if you want to > discontinue your landline service, but if you want landline *both* the > VOIP phone service and the broadband service will transfer to EE. correct. But they want to keep the business in the BT group it needs to be BT or EE. BT is/was/maybe re-positioning their service to be business focused, or perhaps more "a premium offering" so that is out. EE only offer phone as part of its broadband service so you have to move both. > > Seems odd to divest themselves of so much business - all the broadband > customers who happen to want a landline VOIP phone service as well. Remember BT own BT, EE and PlusNet. I think its just smoke and mirrors. The EE adverts claim more people are moving to EE than any other ISP. Of course they are, because plusnet is moving them! Any way, what doesn't make sense to use is totally logical to the sales and marketing types. So "PlusNet" is your "Pound shop" internet only provider. "EE" is for the vast majority of users. "BT" is your Marks and Spencer or Waitrose customer...
