    You could consider the BT Black Friday deal on fibre...

    Sorry MSE... but if you want to sign up for the current EE broadband and want cash instead of an Amazon voucher, go through topcashback where they are currently offering £100.00 as a cash back deal (or slightly more based on how much loyalty reward percentage you get with them).


    Generally MSE, please negotiate deals with cash incentives... Or how about instead of giving away vouchers and cash back a few months down the line, just make everything cheaper to begin with and save on all the extra admin?!

    Hi - am I understanding this deal correctly? It seems to good to be true so am I missing something?

    BT TV (includes a Youview+ Box) + Broadband + Calls via Quidco has £250 cashback at present (expires in 2 days):

    http://www.quidco.com/bt-broadband/?ac

    BT also have a 'Black Friday Sale' of a £50 Sainsbury Gift Card

    So if I go for the TV Essential + Unlimited Broadband + Weekend Calls (12 month Contract) it costs:

    + £10/month for 12 months = £120/year
    + Line Rental Saver £159.84/year = £13.32 a month
    + £35 Activation fee
    + Home Hub delivery Charge of £6.95

    Total = £321.79/year or £26.82/month

    Less £250 Quidco Cash Back

    Total = £71.79/year or £5.98/month

    Less £50 Sainsbury Gift Card

    Final Total = £21.79/year or £1.82/month

    Yet this deal doesn't seem to have been mentioned on MSE or in this thread that I have seen?

    So what am I missing/getting wrong?

    No it isn't. I spoke to a Plusnet adviser live and they confirmed it had gone. Re-negotiated with my Sky and got the same LL + BB deal for £16.40 a month with weekend and evening calls the same. Too late for the BT offer now :-(

    MSE never seem to mention specific cashback deals - presumably because cashback is not guaranteed.

    Thanks for the update - shame you missed it. You usually would have a cooling off period so it may not be too late for the BT deal. Think you get 14 days.

    They did use to but now seem to do their own deals. Do you think I am reading the offer correctly though? It seems a crazy offer!

    It isn't just for fibre, it is also for normal broadband. I can't get fibre.
