Free Broadband from BT in Two Years :)

Tulip

Hi Everyone,

Bt announced yesterday in the Times Financial Mail part of the paper that they are going to offer Broadband free of charge for Bt Customers and all you pay is the Line Rental for your landline,how brilliant is that,I was going to go to Virgin in November but this is the icing on the cake for me now and going to stay with Bt after all but possibly lower my Bt Package instead until we hear more about this


Pretty excited about this to be honest

It was in the Mail on Sunday Financial Mail

Lines will have a broadband ringtone - so no activation fee, so not really free

You'll have to wait until 2008/9 for it

- Should clear that all up for you

The word `free` and BT are like oil and water. They will try to screw you for everything they provide. I only use them for line rental now.

Free broadband is coming much sooner from another company but I cannot give details yet......

My eyes are glued Zincoxide. Now I will be losing sleep over this. Hope it's very soon.

free broadband is not viable, since any adsl provider (bt line users) has to pay BT wholesale something like £8+VAT per connection, unless the company gives it away for free, and charges stupid amounts for a capped product (like £5 per 1GB), with no usage included.

Indeed, to give broadband away free, the company would have to make their money back somehow "forced advertising bars" maybe!??!
