    Been on Option 3 for a year. Called up to see what deals were available. After reviewing my recent usage (under 4Gb a month) was offered a 12 month contract on Option 1 for £9.29, line Rental for £10.50 and a new black Home Hub.

    As £19.79 is less than what I was paying for the Option 3 alone, and currently I only have Sky or talktalk as unacceptable alternatives in my market 2 area, I took them up on it.

    I will revisit it again in 12 months.
    No reliance should be placed on the above.

    Is this offer still valid?........I have recently had my orange broadband put up by £7, I've checked on asksam and found talk talk are also on my exchange.......bt today said the best they could do was £12.99 plus 11.75 line rental..............I asked about the £7.33 and they said they know nothing of it, they are ringing back tomorrow.

    Just spoke to orange who said if I took up Bt's offer tomorrow I would be liable for a £25 charge for cancelling the contract if I dont wait for the MAC code to come through which will take 3-5 days.........is this true?

    The £7.33 offer is for existing Bt broadband customers who are out of contract and agree a new 12 month term at £7.33 a month on opt1.
    Orange are correct in the price they quote as changing broadband providers without using a mac incurrs a cease charge so just wait for you mac.
    Also you can get BT broadband for £9.99 on option 1 on an 18 month contract as a new customer so ask for that instead.

    I just renewed on the same deal again there was a slight variation of about 15 pence per month, its now £9.49 per month.
    I've also changed my direct debit to pay monthly which is better for the household budget, happy days.

    I've been with BT for phone and broadband since May 2006.

    My friend who's been with them since October 2006, phoned up this week, got Option 2 for £10 a month as well as a brand new hub.

    What are the chances that me phoning up will get a similar deal?

    I have no idea when my contract ends.

    Any suggestions guys?

    With a threat to move to O2 for both BB and Phone I got.

    £7.50 a month for BB, plus new router (option 1)

    £16 for anytime UK landline calls including line rental.

    Some free months.

    Just over £20 pm when you factor in paperless billing
