O2 Broadband pricing question.

Hi,

I'm waiting on my MAC code from Orange so I can move to the O2 Premium broadband package. As it only costs O2 mobile customers £10 a month instead of the standard £15 can someone tell me if that also includes pre pay mobile customers, as I have some free sims cards and a spare mobile phone I could use and save myself some cash.

Thanks.

    is there anyway of cancelling o2 and then rejoining them via quidco? my contract is due to end with them next month and the Cashback looks very attractive.

    Do you really think they'd cough up a second time?

    You aren't allowed back for 6 months when you cancel! :(

    For pay & go you need to top up £10 every 2 months to get your discount.

    For the question about Quidco, you can't leave andd rejoin but you can go through to Retentions and get a good discount off your next year's costs.

    Hello,

    Yep am sure it includes pre pay mobiles customers, just as long as you top up something at least every 3 months, works out much cheaper to do that than not if you see what I mean!

    Every 3 months. Read the O2 T&C

    There's no rush re the o2 PAYG mobile as the first two months of home BB are free currently!

    There is a reason to rush for the Quidco cashback if you fancy Premium/Pro sub levels as their £70/£100 £backs are due to fall at close Sunday. You don't need your MAC at the time you apply (eg via Quidco) at the o2 site.
