What to do before you cancel John Lewis broadband
John Lewis broadband that's provided by Plusnet will be closing in May 2024.
Because of this, you have two choices; either move to Plusnet and sign up to a brand-new contract, or move to another broadband provider completely. If you don't, you'll find your broadband and phone line will be suspended.
It's important to take action as soon as possible if you have a Telecare device, emergency pendant or personal alarm connected to your phone line or broadband.

What’s the difference between ‘fibre’ and ‘full-fibre’ broadband?
Full Fibre broadband is also known as ‘Fibre To The Premises’, ‘Fibre To The Home’. This is often shortened to FTTP or FTTH. They’re all the same thing!
Instead of copper telephone wire making up the final part of the journey from that green cabinet on the street, fibre optic cables are installed right up to your home.
It’s amazing the difference in speed this small data journey can have. With full-fibre broadband you can expect to receive speeds of 1Gb+.
The downside is full-fibre is only available to a small percentage of homes in the UK, and it’s taking a good while to get everyone up to speed.
