BT Hot fibre deal

Options
Hi. I phoned BT today to ask about the Hot fibre ( £18.82/month for up to 52Mb) in today's email from Martin. The offer supposedly ends tomorrow evening. They said that no such offer exists !
Can anyone enlighten me??

    Its via a Link in the message .

    But i followed through and could not understand what the MSE post actually meant .
    Looks like total price includes cashback deal .

    Ends Thu. BT fibre b'band & line rental '£18.82/mth'. Via this BT link*, new BT broadband customers can apply for this 1yr deal before 11.59pm Thu and get up-to-52Mb speed fibre (3x normal) with unlimited downloads. Fibre's best for heavy downloading, streaming, gaming or multiple users. Here's how it works... - It's available to 83% of the UK. It depends on your postcode - you're told if you can get it when applying (or use our Broadband Unbundled tool to see only deals in your area).
    - Choose to pay line rent upfront if you can afford to. Opt to do this at sign up and you pay £208.80 for the 12mths (equiv £17.40/mth) or it's the usual £18.99/mth. Either way, you get inclusive weekend landline calls - see BT call costs.
    - Discounted fibre is £11/mth for the year. A huge reduction on the standard £31/mth.
    - You pay £59.99 upfront - £50 activation and £9.99 router delivery.
    - Get £125 on a prepaid Mastercard & £50 cashback but you MUST claim them. Annoyingly, as BT won't remind you, remember to use this Mastercard claim link and this cashback claim link within 3mths of activation (they then take up to 45 days to arrive).

    Cost analysis: It's a steal. Pay line rent upfront and you pay £400.79 over the year before calls. Claim and use the cashback & Mastercard (as good as cash where accepted) and it's a net £225.79, equiv to £18.82/mth. Pay line rent monthly and it's equiv to £20.41/mth. See full BT fibre info.

    I signed up on Thursday, and you had to go through the link on MSE............... BT won't give you this deal if you phone them up anyway I'm all set-up for November 9th activation.
