    Hey. Just wondering if anyone who signed up for this recently has managed to get on-line yet and if so how are their first impressions?

    My contract with BT Broadband has just come up for renewal and have offered us a lovely reduction from £14.99 to £12.99 which I am not sure represents very good VFM when I see this £7.50 deal with O2 which is also with whom we have our mobile contracts with. However I want to keep my XX.btinternet.com email address, can I still do this if I change providers?

    02 £7.50 deal is only available on 02 LU exchanges, does that apply to you?

    Yes, because then you get a £5pm discount on the broadband price, subject to £10 per qtr top up.

    Will be changing to 02 phone/broadband new service. Presently with BT who have charged me £700.00 for the last 12 months so compared to 02 new service i will save £470 in 1st year and save £370 pa thereafter.

    Also according to my unbundled exchange i will receive download speeds of around 15meg compared to present BT figure of 6meg !

    Just have to pay BT to leave contract early !

    Any news on the 02 landline phone service launching? Any idea of line rental too?

    It's launching in March, no exact date. Line rental will be £9.50, all the tariffs are on the O2 website.

    But only worth it if you can use £30 of credit in a month, it only lasts one month.
    O2 only requires a quarterly £10 top up to save £60pa.
