Cheap o2 Broadband: 20 Mbps Unlimited package for £5.17/month

fozmcfc

An issue has arisen with O2 broadband for me and others. If you use the Iplayer on the BBC website, you might not be able to access the TV programme side of things, as it doesn't accept you are in the UK.

I'm not the only one to be affected by this, apparently O2 are working with the BBC to sort out the issue, something to do with the IP address not being recognised as a UK one.

Your one of the lucky ones, others also on 94. IP addresses also report no problems. Just us 93. punters

Try not to lose your connection or reset your router as you could be asigned another IP address and it could be one of the ones that won't work with the Iplayer.

Just a quick question please.

Is the simplycity sim only £9.79/month eligible for the BB discount.
My mobile contract is finishing in a months time n the retentions are not offering anything.

Thanks a lot
