Free Orange Broadband at 2nd home?

Hi, I'm on an orange contract, and was wondering if anyone knows whether the free broadband is limited to the billing address.
I would like take advantage of this in my rented house at uni, but does anyone know if this is allowed? Probs not- but worth a try!

Thanks, Kris.

    Well with O2, who operate a discount for mobile customers, they send you a discount code via text message to your O2 mobile. You use that code to get the cheaper tarriff (regardless of address I think) so it may work the same with Orange.

    The only snag is that with orange you alos have to take their home phone package (included) so it might be limited to same billing address as mobile.

    yes you can,
    im an orange customer and got it up and running at my brothers house for £15 p/m and they even installed the phone line,
    my mobile billing address is still mine, just the phone/bb is in my name but at my brothers address.
    unfortunately, im not sure if im staying with orange when my contract run out next month so he'll lose his cheap internet

    |I did this with my parents house - i changed my billing address - but nevr look at bills cos i check on line - so have the bb at their address for £5 a month. Only thing i have to remember is when getting new phone or replacement to say im away or at work address. Get good signal there too.
