Hi all,

I'm a BT unlimited broadband customer, who also only pays a discounted rate for it. Only £13.50 a mth.

Out of the blue, I got a letter from BT today, stating that as my area was now Infinity (fibre) enabled, they would give it to me for absolutely not a penny extra, and without an contract extension, either. All I had to do was quote the promo-code at the bottom of the letter.

So I rang them up and it was true! So BT Infinity here we come! 57Mbps as compared to 6.5. Lovely!

So keep your eyes peeled, BT folks...

I have just had a phone call asking if I want BT Infinity. According to the caller I would be paying a bit extra as I am on a similar discount to you. Nowadays I am very cautious about unsolicited phone calls so I didn't go ahead. Instead I looked at this forum and saw your post. I then called BT to ask them but was refused a free upgrade and was told the internet and evening and weekend calls package would cost £26, whereas I am at present getting a £10.85 discount on £24.10 a month.

I shall wait a while to see if I get the same letter as you before I go ahead. Otherwise my contract expires in March and I shall try then.

Us country dwellers having been subsidising city dwellers for some time and I feel a bit peeved at being asked to pay even more to get a reasonable broadband speed which city dwellers have been getting for the same cost for some time already.

WHy can't you PM us the code you got? Or is it unique?

Hi lordra, the code is unique and so can only be used once. Sorry 'bout that.

I actually got my order confirmation letter yesterday, and it confirmed I'll be paying the same as I am now and it also includes new kit (modem and home hub) free of charge too. :T

Congratulations all you Infinity users. I live in London and was thinking of changing to BT but FTC gets put back 3 months every 3 months. I'll just have to stay with AOL (LLU) which to be fair provides me with an excellent service and have just made me an offer that BT couldn't match and I couldn't refuse.
No doubt when BT get their FTC act together AOL will be using it.

Do you have the number on the letter by any chance? I got the letter too but I must have thrown it away by accident! Thanks.

I also received the free upgrade offer and currently pay £13.25 for Option 3 broadband but decided not to take up the offer as was informed by BT that at contract renewal time I would not receive such a large discount if I've become a BT Infinity customer.

I have rec'd same letter today and I get a10£ discount for being loyal customer but when i started to book appt online the charges were no where near what i am on now! So I think I will ring up the 0800 number just in case, has anyone had it fitted ? and is it much faster??

I have a line rental contract with BT so TT line rental is out of the question. I'm happy with my AOL/TT service and my new price deal at present so am not tempted to move to BT particularly with FTC installation slipage.

The install happened to today and it all went flawlessly. Unlimited Infinity 2, with 57Mbps, and all for only £13.25 a month. Tops!
