Unlimited download broadband for £7.50/mnth (£2.50/mnth for o2 customers)!

im still stuck with blooming bulldog because its so difficult to switch away from them (they do my landline too). At £30 a month its a right ripoff but theyve been saying for months they have a new pricing scheme coming in (since they are part of pipex who in turn are now part of tiscali). im getting more incensed every time i call up and get fobbed off again!

Looking at changing my broadband provider as I've been with BT for a year now. Signal recently has been absolutely RUBBISH - when I contacted them, they advised me that I was on the outskirts of the exchange range, so we'd be first to disconnect if there were any problems.

Tiscali are offering broadband at the moment at £9.99 a month for 3 months - then £14.99. But this includes your line rental as well and free calls including international.

Does this sound like too good a deal? Anyone gone with them already?

I'm assuming for the o2 deal you still have to pay the quarterly charge to BT, which is the expensive bit for me as I have free mintues on my mobile so don't use the land line.

Does anyone know what sort of bandwidth usage is classed as too high with O2? I have a couple of PC's on most of the day, used for web, gaming, and website maintenance, I seem to be using around 10-15GB per month (upload and download combined). Never had a problem with my current provider (Be) but don't want to have troubles if this is too high for O2.

thanks

BE was bought by O2/Telefonica a couple of year ago and therefore O2 uses the network BE built for it's own broadband services. Meaning its the same service whichever you're with.

I'm about to move into a rented flat for the first time, does anyone know if i will need to get connected to bt first then call o2 to connect to them?

Sorry have not got a clue, will have to call them up, just wondered if anyone has done something of the same. Just hope i dont need to pay a £120 connection charge for BT.

thanks

You're right that O2 now owns BE, but they are still two distinct services (eg O2 give you e-mail addresses whereas BE doesn't, BE Unlimited and Pro have a 3 month notice period, O2's contract is a year), so they may differ in other ways as well.

Having said that, from what I've heard O2's fair use policy is no stricter than BE's and 10-15GB/month is not particularly high anyway.

Just rang tiscali to get a MAC code so I code move to O2 broadband and they offered me 6 months free and then only £4.99 a month for the same service that they've happily charged me £17.99 a month for!
I really should phone all companies on an annual basis and tell them I'm thinking of leaving and see what they offer.

Just got the same deal myself, and a £10 credit to my account. Thanks for posting this, otherwise I wouldn't have pushed them so hard. :j

Signed up with O2 some months ago via the Quidco site and was offered £25 cashback. However, 6 months later still no money because O2 didn't give me the appropiate reference number for the order so they have refused the cashback.

same here regarding the 25 quid cashback....if only I waited a month or 2 later I`d have got 60 quid but that`s life.

no problems getting the cashback via quidco myself anyway

Oh, and no problems with 02. Excellent service

I'm an O2 customer and was going to jump at this when it came from on the weekly newsletter...however, we're currently with Talk Talk so therefore don't have a BT line, so this would involve us having to change from Talktalk to BT
I left BT as their call package couldn't beat TalkTalk's....our bill is around £25 per month for broadband and 24/7 landline calls to 01 or 02 numbers......unless anyone knows a better deal or way round this then I'm having to stay put

I too am not 'un-bundled' yet, whatever that means!!
