Fibre broadband is a very useful thing to have, as it’s much faster and a lot more reliable than ADSL.
It means more devices can connect at once and still get decent speeds, videos barely buffer at all, and files download nice and quickly.
Who owns Shell broadband
Once known as First Utility, until it was acquired by the global energy giant Shell back in 2018, Shell Energy Broadband is a relative newcomer to the market, and one of several energy companies to also offer broadband.
Can I switch from BT to Plusnet
Switching broadband services is as easy as it’s ever been. You don’t even need to contact your existing broadband provider to cancel, as Plusnet Broadband will handle the switch directly with BT Broadband on your behalf.
Once you have ordered your new Plusnet Broadband service, you will be sent details of the switch.
Is Plusnet part of BT
BT is Plusnet’s parent company. But when it comes to broadband packages, they’re very different propositions.
Here, we take a look at everything they’ve got to offer.
Why did BT buy Plusnet
The two companies established a partnership two years ago to share technical knowledge on broadband development and marketing.
“We have been impressed with the management team in the past, hence the reason for the acquisition,” the BT spokesperson said.
But PlusNet has not always been viewed favourably by customers.
Is Plusnet slower than BT
BT ranks 49th, with 45% of speed test results above 50 Mbps. In comparison, 26% of Plusnet speed test results scored above 50 Mbps.
Out of 1,442,075 speed tests recorded on the Plusnet network the fastest individual result was 924 Mbps.
Among 6,484,028 BT network tests, the fastest result was 5,442 Mbps.
Do you need a different router for fiber
No, fiber-optic technology does not need a special router, there are various Wi-Fi routers available in the markets that are compatible with fiber internet speeds.
However, if your fiber connection offers faster speeds than your old internet service, you may need to invest in a new wireless router.
DO broadband prices include VAT
They do. All consumer prices quoted must by law include VAT. If you think I helped please feel free to hit the “Thumbs Up” button below.
Why does my shell Broadband keep dropping out
Check your Wi-Fi connection If the connection is weak, or regularly drops out, try moving your device closer to the router.
If you have an Ethernet cable available, try connecting a desktop or laptop computer to your broadband router using the cable and then re-test the connection.
Does Plusnet use Openreach
As a BT-owned subsidiary, it’s no surprise Plusnet runs on the Openreach network, although Plusnet is a separate company run by a different management team.
Is 40 Mbps Wi-Fi good
10-25Mbps: Moderate HD streaming, online gaming and downloading with a moderate number of connected devices.
25-40Mbps: Heavy HD streaming, online gaming and downloading with a lot of connected devices.
40+Mbps: Hardcore streaming, gaming, and downloading with an extreme number of connected devices.
Is Plusnet owned by Sky
BT is Plusnet’s parent company.
Are EE and Plusnet the same company
Plusnet Mobile has a number of things going for it, starting with the fact that it’s owned by BT, which also owns EE.
That means it uses EE’s infrastructure, which is a good thing as EE has more 4G coverage than rivals and even some 5G coverage – though Plusnet itself doesn’t yet offer 5G.

What routers use Shell Energy
Shell Energy broadband router features Shell Energy broadband packages come with either a Technicolor DWA0120 or the older Technicolor TG588 v2 router.
The DWA0120 supplied with Shell Energy’s fibre broadband packages is a fairly up-to-date router with many of the features one would expect.
Who is BT owned by
It means Altice – which is owned by France’s ninth-richest man, Patrick Drahi – becomes the biggest single shareholder in BT, overtaking Deutsche Telekom, which has a 12.06% stake as a result of BT’s 2014 acquisition of the mobile operator EE, which was previously part-owned by the German giant.
Who does Plusnet piggyback off
Networks like BT Mobile, Plusnet Mobile and 1pMobile piggyback on EE’s network for coverage.
It isn’t necessary to be an EE customer to get coverage from EE on your mobile phone.
This is because a number of other mobile networks also offer EE coverage.
Is Plusnet part of the automatic compensation scheme
Plusnet (including John Lewis Broadband) has today joined the automatic compensation scheme, which means its broadband and landline customers will get money back when things go wrong, without having to ask for it.

Do you need a microfilter with fibre
Fibre to the Cabinet If you’re setting up your Fibre, you don’t need a special faceplate.
We’ll send you microfilters to use with your existing socket. However, you don’t need to worry about microfilters if your master socket has already had a broadband accelerator faceplate fitted (master socket with two sockets).
Is Shell Energy part of BT
Shell Energy simply acts as another provider, much like BT and Sky, by offering their very own broadband packages.
The broadband speed across all Openreach Networks are essentially the same; no matter who you go with, your service won’t change because it’s all coming from the same place – much like your energy supply.
Does direct save use Openreach
These ‘superfast’ fibre broadband services use Openreach’s fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) network. They still use copper cables for the final few hundred metres of the connection, which means you won’t always get the headline speed promised, but it should limit your vulnerability to network congestion.
How long does it take to get fibre installed
An installation can take anything between 1 to 4 hours depending on the complexity of getting the fibre cable from the boundary wall to where you want the CPE to be located.
Once the CPE has been installed, you will need to plug your computer into the CPE with a LAN cable.
Is Shell Energy part of Royal Dutch Shell
Shell Energy Retail is wholly owned by Royal Dutch Shell, but as a legal entity in the UK we provide our accounts to Companies House.
