WARNING - O2 "free" broadband offer

Zadok

I just signed up to O2 mobile broadband as their web site says you get free "home broadband" with the package. Not so. I was told that this only applies on exchanges where O2 has hardware, which according to "samknows" is only around 20%.

I cancelled the contact ASAP.

So why didn't you check samknows before then! It's no different to Sky, TalkTalk etc.

it also says in fairly big text that if you are outside their network area then you'll get an equivalent £7.50 reduction on their package.

Choose O2 Mobile Broadband for £20 a month and as a thank you we'll give you the choice of taking either:

• Free O2 Home Broadband Standard package for your first 12 months; or
• Save £7.50 (inc. VAT) on O2 Business Broadband Standard package for 12 months.

If you want to upgrade our Standard package, you can take our Premium or Ultimate packages and receive a £7.50 (inc. VAT) per month discount. Customers living outside of our network area may still be able to get our Broadband Access package and receive a £7.50 (inc. VAT) per month discount.

just teh usual case of reading the T&C of any offer before assuming it is something it isn't
