    Have you tried calling them and asking if they will give you the 3rd month free?

    This is always the way of it, I got 2 months. no doubt there are people who signed up before me and only got one month...
    You can still get the £50 Quidco with the 3 months free, that brings the 1st year average monthly cost down to £1.34,

  • Seems like they are going all out to take over the world.They have had many good reports on here and other places.So far so good.

    The only thing im uncertain about is the speed. I am promised up to 18mbs on my exchange.On the o2 website whenever i check i am getting 15 'ish' mbs,yet when checking other 'speed test' sites it can be around 9mbs.

    Not to worry though as i dont think speed test sites are 100% accurate so who knows what speed i am getting?:confused:...

    All in all very pleased and waiting for £50 from Quidco!

    You won't get more than 8MBps unless you are on the Pro or Premium packages, regardless of what your line can support. The Standard package is capped to 8MBps.
    The speedtest.net site test your actual speed, the o2 checker is just an estimation of speed based on straight line distance from the exchange, which may in reality be much longer, as the cabling usually follows roads and not a straight line.
