Tesco £2.50 a month Broadband (£13.75 inc L/R)

Anyone gone for this cheap deal yet?

Unlimited downloads and only £13.75 for a 12 month rolling contract?

I'm seriously thinking of switching to them but have no experience of their broadband to date. If anyone can shed any light on their reliability, ease of switching, customer service issues I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance.

The price of the package goes up to £6.50 a month after one year. "Although your use of Tesco Broadband is unlimited, we may impose an upper limit of the amount that you can use your broadband without further charge."

The FUP is 100Gb / month, after 12 months the cost increases by £4.00 / month.
The network operator is C&W.

I'm not a massive user in terms of GBs/month. My limit at the moment with Plusnet is 10GB and I sometimes get pretty close so it would be nice to not have to worry about going over my limit.

I understand that at the end of 12 months in goes up but ofcourse if you are on the ball and there are better deals at the end of the 12 months you can switch again.

£6.50 still strikes me as cheap for (more or less) unlimited broadband. But as far as I can see, the broadband £2.50 or £6.50 is in addition to the £13.75 line rental with free evening/weekend calls, not included as the subject line for this thread suggests. Still very reasonable IMO though. You also get 3 Clubcard points per £1 spent, so that's equivalent to a saving of between 3% and 12%, depending on how you use your Clubcard vouchers.

Unfortunately, though, when I asked in their chat box whether you can use call override providers such as 18185, the answer was no, you can't. For daytime calls, Tesco's connection charge is 12.5p and per-minute rate 7.5p to landlines, 12.5p to mobiles, so not being able to use 18185 (who charge only 5p for connection and 0p/min to landlines, 6-7p/min to mobiles) is quite offputting for me.

You can still use 18185 by dialling the freephone number or the 020 number. http://www.18185.co.uk/mobilerates.php Calls will cost about 1p a minute more than if you had dialled 18185.

You also have the option to have the unlimited call package with Tesco which does not cost much.

I have two friends which have switched to Tesco broadband recently and they seem happy with it so far.

So far their bills have been around the £25 mark including unlimited internet, unlimited anytime landline calls (max 60 minutes) and a few other non inclusive calls.
