Broadband deals with free laptop/ps3

Hi there,

does anyone know of any broadband deals (pref. fibre optic) on contracts or otherwise that include any free gifts?

K regards

    free gifts are not free. They add the cost of the item onto your bill.

    Exactly the same with free phones.. They are not free.

    Some years ago, one of my sons had a 'free' laptop with his package, but his brother worked out that he had more than paid for a better model, because of higher charges.

    Hi yes this is true,

    you especially with phones.

    One gets tied in to a 24month contract and after 6/12 months there are already better tariffs on the market and better phones.

    Thats why I am pay monthly with sim only plan.

    Ok my Virgin contract has no lapsed will they automatically renew my contract or I assume I will go to a one month rolling contract with 30 day cancellation policy.

    Regards
