    Not quite as cheap as it appears, extra for Caller Display etc.

    Only at this price to BB customers, who only get discounted BB if they have an o2 Mobile.

    o2 BB only cheap if you have an LLU unbundled exchange.

    I wonder if a payg customer on o2 will have this offer too, or it is contracted o2 mobile users only?
  • Oh dear not for me or 300,000 other people again, since I live in the only place that doesnt allow BT!!!! :mad:

    Old Faithful in any kind of weather,
    When the round up days are over,
    And the Boulevard’s white with clover,
    For you old faithful pal of mine.

    hi, we have just bought a new house recently and i was going to take up the BT free reconnection offer in order to reconnect the phone line. However my boyfriend has an O2 mobile so this offer would be actually better for us - but does anyone know if they would connect up the phone line or if we have no choice but to go with BT?

    thanks!

    Nothing new with added charges for caller ID and 1571, some gloss, fancy leaflets and the usual PR headline nonsense.

    Come on O2, get your finger out and get something NEW{/b] on the market.

    O2 Home broadband is delivered via a BT landline so you would need to be with BT first, but check with BT before reconnecting 'cos you may need to sign a minimum contract for the voice service before you can switch; shouldn't stop you getting O2 broadband tho'

    when i moved and got reconnected with bt i had to have a 12 month contract which coincidentally is up in march
    however i still got the o2 broadband which i have found to be a very good service

    I was paying £11 line rental + £5 for 8MB on Sky = £16
