AMAZING NEW OFFER 3 DAYS ONLY ENDS MIDNIGHT 1ST NOV!

hi javuvu, I have just looked at this offer and it's saying 3 months free and free modem so if I wanted to go on the 1mb offer exactly what would it cost and how do you get the free 3 months ? as it shows ;-

3 months @ £31.00: £93
Quarterly membership: £5
*One-off connection: £50

so that to me means £148.00 for the 3 months £49.33 per month so that's not cheap what have I done wrong

thanks

Can anybody recommend and independent site where I can compare broadband suppliers?
For my sins I'm on Aol dial-up and want out. I need unlimited downloads (none of this 1Gb/2Gb rubbish) & hopefully 10x faster than dial-up

on a 1MB line the deal works out as £148 for 'six months' inc connection and a £75 BT modem and unlimited bandwidth.

This is a fabulous deal especially if you migrate to another isp after 6 months, read my thread for examples.

hope this helps.

I need to set up my Dad with broad band connection.

He will be a low usage user, as its mainly for news etc.
If goes with metronet it will cost him connection fee £59.73, plus aroudn £25 for modem and £11.75/mth

Total cost for 1 yr: £225.73 i.e. about £18.80/mth

Does anyone know of a company that has just as good service with connection and hardware included for less than this amount. He is not bothered about download limits.

if you opt for one of the current e7even deals its very good value. For example if you go for the 12mth contract you actually get 15 months for just £250 which inc a decent £75 BT modem (which u could flog if wanted). And you wouldnt have to worry about the small 200mb metronet bandwidth allowance as it unlimited.

£250 / 15 = 16.66 per month (inc free modem and unlimited bandwidth)

as you can see this is a lot cheaper than the deal you were looking at.

See my thread for details, if your interested be quick because this latest offer is on for just 3 days and ends on monday.

cheers

Hi, I am on a 24/7 with Virgin but have just been hit by a £19.50 premium rate dialled number I knew nothing about,will Broadband stop these numbers being dialled?

With Broadband you're not connected via your 56k modem, so you can pull the plug on that and no-one is going to be able to dial anything through your PC.

Lots of messages about Metronet, and I agree that they are good, BUT, a word of caution.

They have a policy of suspending your account if you show signs of spamming etc, this happened to me because I had got a virus of some sort. I don't have a problem with that, and can totally understand their point of view, BUT....

This happened on a Friday night, and the virus was dealt with quite quickly. No support at Metronet over the weekend meant that I couldn't get back on line until mid morning on Monday.
