    You should be able to get any broadband you want, you're paying BT the line rental so I can't see that it's anything to do with them :)

    Don't forget to go through quidco if you get it ;)

    Unlike BT’s previous social telephony offering, customers on relevant benefits who have a broadband service will be entitled to sign up to BT Basic. Under BT’s former social telephony offering – its Light User Scheme - people who had broadband were ineligible for the cheap phone deal.

    RE O2 broadband basic (£7.50),what equipment is supplied? Presumably they supply ADSL filters and a wireless router? Is it a modem/router or do they also supply a separate modem?

    Also,do you get any free webspace?

    You get an o2 branded wireless router which is a Thomson, plus 2 or 3 filters. No webspace that I can see.
    All this info is on their website.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I've been trying to order 02 broadband online for three days now and every time I'm submitting details it comes saying that their is a fault and to try again later....very annoying.

    o2 BB is brillient, especially with the quidco deal.

    for the 20m middle package

    if you with o2 for mobile already, it rediculosy cheap.

    you get £70 back from quidco
    you get 2 or 3 months free from o2
    works out to be the same price as the standard one
