O2 Boadband & Phone

Starbrite

Looking at Broadband and phone line as just moved into a property (I don't have a prevoius supplier)

The O2 package All rounder comes in at £19.25, Is this good value for money? Is anyone with O2? I have a mobile with them and on that side of things up to this year they have been fine.

Not really....The actual price is £25.50 but anyway....If you are looking for a promotional deal then try Tesco at £20.25 a month....and for the first 12 months it's £16.25 a month. £3.00 cheaper than your deal during the introductory period and ongoing it's £5.25 a month cheaper.

Do you not need a call package with free anytime inclusive calls? O2 charges an extra £3.50 a month...Tesco charges an extra £4.50 a month.

For 12 months...it's not that price for ever. Are you willing to switch after 12 months and every 12 months after that. It's quite a hassle. Do your mobile plans include calls to 0845/0870 numbers? Do you ever call those numbers?

Starbrite

Can't say I do phone those numbers and if I did have to I can use the landline at work

Which company offers longer then 12 mths? just talking to Tesco and there deal is a 12 mth contract I quote:

You can get bundle package : phone line + broadband package, there is no set up cost on 12 months contract.
We've a Tesco Broadband (£2.50) + Inclusive Evening & Weekend calls (£13.75) = £16.25 a month.
You'll get 100 GB per month.

Which is why I always quote the ongoing price. Introuctory offers are good but it is a hassle switching broadband suppliers and isn't something I would not recommend too often if you can avoid it. As I quoted above the ongoing price is £20.25 per month which is one of the cheapest rates around.

If you are considering FTTC internet then plus.net is doing a very good deal at the moment. £19.99 for the broadband, £13.99 for the line rental. There is an introductory offer that will save you £10.00 a month for the first 6 months. You need to pay for P+P of the router upfront £5.99. Even though it is more expensive it is much faster than ADSL.

It is not necessary to switch to get another deal every year. O2 retentions normally offer another six months free!

OP - O2 broadband is far better than resold Tesco broadband.

I've been with 02 for about 3 years now for phone and broadband, and have never paid the full price. A retention deal has always been available, along with the £5 mobile discount.

Cool I'm going with O2, Tesco just feels wrong somehow also I don't like their take over the world attutide.

Thanks Everyone
