    Watch out for the 5GB monthly allowance.

    Might be enough for some but many will go over that.

    Make sure you have a clear idea of your current monthly usage if you're considering this.

    This page lists the vouchers & products.

    Its stuff like £20 off a Toshiba Laptop or £10 off a 2GB Zen MP3.

    Goodness knows how much you'd have to spend to use all £500 worth.

    I've been with BT Broadband for over 3 years, paying £28 a month - overpriced, I know :rolleyes:. Anyway, I switched service to a new ISP last week; so imagine my surprise when after the service had been successfully migrated (their MAC supplied!) I was told that I would have to pay another £28 for another month's non-existent service :mad: .

    Be careful when switching ISP that you aren't left paying double (or nearly 4 times in my case) for the first month!

    Very misleading thread title IMHO. Should read something like get £500 off a total £15,000 spend at Dabs. Certainly wouldn't tempt me to go with BT Broadband, that's for sure.
  • Do not have BT Broadband. I worked for BT and have had BB for about 2 years. It is nothing but trouble. I cannot sort it out. At the moment they are threatening to stop it on Tuesday so I will have to try and ring again on Monday. If I wasnt moving soon I would tell them what to do with it.
  • Sairy: you had BT Broadband for 2 yrs. If it was so much trouble, why didn't you switch it earlier?

    If you want trouble,a crappy service that most times is slower than dial up, every excuse under the sun thrown at you that it is your fault,(your computer,your modem,your line,etc etc) then join up with PLUSNET.
    I've just got out of it with them after 12 months of horror,but it was never their fault always mine,lol.I've just gone back to BT and so far so good......

    I have been with BT for years, and apart from the price have had few problems and am happy with them.

    This offer is better for new customers, than the vouchers, although you can get both! (if you want)

    Free Xbox 360 wireless adaptor. Expires June 07

    If you don't need it you can always get some cash for it on ebay.
