    Much better going through Quidco and getting £75 cashback.

    EDIT - O2 are now doing 2 months free (wasn't there earlier in the day) so a year's BB at £0 if you use Quidco.
  • Only had a few minutes before leaving computer.

    Only point I could mention is that i'd prefer the £75 cash from topcashback.co.uk as they don't charge the £5 admin fee and more you use it the more extra payment you get (up to 10% apparently).

    So what was the point of the original post, if now you are recommending TopCashBack? Never mind, I know that you didn't realise at first...
  • I just spoke to o2 as I want to take up their broadband package but as I'm with Tiscali/Talk Talk my line is not compatible and I have to go back to BT. However, in the course of the conversation I was told that o2 are about to launch their own telephone service too so I am going to wait as it is due out any day now.

    You need BT line rental.
  • I see that I can get O2 Broadband at a net cost of £0 via the Quidco cashback for the whole year if I go for the standard or premium package (o2 customer get an extra £5/m discount) plus they are giving 2 months free.

    What is the catch here ? 12 month contract I can live with.

    None.
    They are buying market share and have been for a long while.

    Only possible catch is if you can't get the LLU product because their BTw based Access product is like many other BTw based ADSL products - slow at any time you are likely to want to use it.

    No - you need a BT line which is not the same thing at all. Many companies produce line rental and call bundles which they market but it's still a BT owned line which they are reselling. That is what Primas do.
