Getting free broadband?

Dont want to mention the company (as I see lots of reps around!) but I got free broadband through a certain company via another offer.
I have cancelled that contract yet still get the free broadband. They send me a bill for £0 each quarter.:T
When/If they realise do they have the right to charge me properly from the time I cancelled the original contract?:confused:
Always on the hunt for a bargain.

  • We have friends who have been receiving free broadband from Orange for in excess of 18 months. Personally, I would worry that they will eventually realise and send a rather large bill.

    HAVE YOU SEEN QUENTIN'S CASHBACK CARD??

    Simple - just put away what you would have been paying each month. Then if they notice, you have the money to pay them (which is fair enough), if not you'll have a nice amount saved up ;)

    If or when they find out you are getting free broadband they can only bill you back to the last bill date and any period in advance should you keep the service. You wont have to pay for whole service as its up to the isp (as stated in the terms and conditions of most isps) to bill you for service. its the isps fault not yours.
