Does O2 Allow Their Broadband Service on a Primus Landline?

acc

Currently, I use O2 broadband with a BT landline, and the BT landline contract period ends soon.

I am considering moving away from BT for the landline to either O2 (£7.50 excluding calls) or Primus (£7.99 with evening and weekend calls).

The MSE Home Phones guide mentions a Primus+O2 package as a best deal for existing O2 mobile customers, yet when I rang up O2 to say I was considering Primus, the sales person said that the O2 broadband service is allowed only on a BT or an O2 landline.

Can someone please advise me as to whether the O2 sales person is correct and on the best type of landline deal in this situation.

Many thanks.

The O2 guy was talking bullocks. As long as the landline rental/calls package does not move your line away from the BT equipment in the exchange (e.g. you got an LLU phone/broadband package like TalkTalk) then your existing broadband with O2 should continue as normal. (The switch is really just a software thing - a marker on the line to say who holds the rental contract). That said, it is not unheard-of for BT to mess up and disconnect the broadband, but this is unlikely to happen.
