how to get cashback for renewal of Broadband?

hi

I am with O2 broadband on 12 month contract. Last year i signed up through a cashback site and got around £60 cashback.

Is there a way for me to get the cashback again this year when renewing?

During my recent experience with mobile phones, i moved from O2 to virgin and back to O2 to get cashback and get good deal.

Can i do the same with broadband either by cancelling broadband for few days or moving to another provider for few days or doing soemthing else?

thanks
J

    You need to leave a 6 month gap after leaving o2 before they will have you back.

    If you have an unlimited o2 bb -package and have been advised of the forthcoming price increase have a read of this thread and you'll see you can get 6 months free in return for a new 12 month contract now!

    Not unless you agree to a package move!

    Many of us have extended our unlimited packages in return for 6 months free!

    Ignore the scaremongering - you can extend your current package.

    They confirm the new 12 month contract by email within a few hours of the phone conversation.
