Plusnet broadband deal or no deal

Plusnet 10 Mb broadband deal through MSE.
Has anyone taken up the Plusnet deal via the MSE website?
MSE state, pay £198 for year line rental and get free broadband for a year and a £75 cheque back after service is running giving you a monthly cost of £10.25
Well I just attempted to sign up to the deal and it clearly states you pay £7.50 per month for the broadband on top of the line rental during the first year’s contract ‘not free’ as show on mse.
Does anybody no different.

Make sure you start from the MSE link, on the page headed optional extras, click the radio box for Line Rental Saver, that adds the annual fee to the pay today section and removes all monthly charges, for me at least.

I take it you are a new, not returning, customer?

Pmduk, thanks for your comment.
I have gone to Plusnet via MSE link, I have not added anything cost wise to the package and I have put in line rental up front at £198
Then on the left of the page it comes up with ‘your order’ and clearly shows £198 for a years line rental and also £7.50 broadband charge so it is asking for a payment of £205 that's line rental and first months broadband and then £7.50 per month for broadband
MSE clearly state ‘Free broadband for 12 months’
And I should say, I was a customer of Plusnet but that was several years ago and I am currently with EE

This is a deal for new customers, I wonder if that's the issue?

The editorial webpage here clearly states

Who can get it? New customers to Plusnet

I suspect you don't qualify for this deal, sorry.
