    My BB as been credited to free, no £200 or router have escalated it with 02 who are getting back to me.
  • I am just at the end of my contract with Plusnet.

    Looking for a cheaper deal, I contacted O2 via USwitch.

    Offered phone @ £13.90 per month and unlimited broadband half price @ £6.25 - should equal £20.15. I have an O2 mobile on contract so qualify for the extra discount.

    On the phone the adviser stated my monthly DD would be £19.25 with additional £3 on first month for router delivery charge.

    They have now set up my account and looking at it on my O2 under My Package this is what I see:

    My package
    The All Rounder
    Full monthly charge*
    £ 28.00 Line rental included
    Monthly charge including offers*
    £ 19.25
    Contract
    12 months

    Then, over to the right hand side I have this:

    My package
    Evening & Weekend Calls
    Monthly charge*
    £ 2.50

    This looks to me like I will be charged £19.25 PLUS £2.50 =
    £21.75

    Phoned O2 and the man I spoke to could not clarify.

    On O2's own website, it says:
    Our Broadband and Home Phone packages include Home broadband, home phone line rental and the Evening and Weekend calls package (unlimited calls between 6pm and 6am during the week and all weekend).

    It also says:
    All Rounder

    Enjoy music and catch up on your favourite TV. Perfect for smaller household. Up to 16meg Unlimited From £25.50 per month
    for 12 months 12 months
    half price
    Would someone who is currently with O2 please confirm whether the inclusive call package is shown separately on their My O2, or do the get charged the two figures added together?

    Have to say, not a great start...
