    Which 02 service are you referring to?
    02 on LLU is excellent , 02 Access (non LLU) is to be avoided.
    Subject to that, 02 over TT any day.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Local Loop Unbundled. Whay exchange are you on?-broadband is exchange specific
    https://www.samknows.com, then exchange search, look under 'LLU Operator Presence'. LLU ops will give the best prices.
    Very few ISPs do a triple bundle, do you really need TV included?

    You need to check as macman says that it is O2 LLU service - what does the O2 checker offer you and what speed does it estimate you can have?

    Which 02 service is showing £10 a month? With or without the mobile discount, the prices are £7.50 and £12.50 respectively on the Standard up to 8Mbps service. It's unlimited subject to FUP.
    02 will also be offering line rental and calls from next month, so if you want a packaged service, it might be worth holding off until then.

    Presumably it's the pro service at £10pm for O2 customers or £15pm otherwise.

    The difference between Standard/Pro/Premium has nothing to do with the number of hours you are online, all the 02 LLU services are unlimited subject to FUP.
    The 'middle' service is Premium (not Pro), exactly the same as Standard but up to 20Mbps rather than up to 8Mbps. Premium is £15pm without the mobile discount.
    Pointless getting Premium unless your line can support more than 8Mbps, use the 02 checker to see what speed you are likely to get. You can always upgrade at any time, so best to start with Standard.
