Taking over a business - what is best deal to keep number & introduce customer wifi?

Hi,

ive just taken over an existing business (cafe pulse - only vegetarian restaurant in essex!!), and obviously want to keep the existing number, but would also like to have broadband and eventually (or straight away) have wi fi for my customers.

The current number is with BT, can anybody advise what would be the best (and cheapest) way to proceed?

many thanks

Jim

    You may get a better response if you put on the Techie board as well?

    if you are an O2 customer (or know somone who is) then £7.50 a month

    Discount for Pay & Go customers subject to £10 minimum top-up every 3 months, so an o2 PAYG sim would suffice

    thanks for the suggestion

    i am an o2 customer but its outside their special area - so comes in at £17.50pm

    though thats £10 cheaper than BT !!
  • It's in the T&C's of most if not all comsumer broadband products that they cannot be used for business purposes. You'll need O2's business broadband which costs more than the £7.50/£12.50 offering.
