Last update 30 October 2011.

1) The latest packages are widely thought to be only 12-month contracts.  This is wrong - there is a 30-day contract option.  Just pay £29.99 up-front. This applies to both broadband and the Home Phone/broadband bundles.

This is useful for people wanting short-term deals, but those intending to stay long-term on broadband only, not Home Phone, may as well save the £30 as there is a 30-day getout clause anyway on the 12-month contract.  That should be time enough to change your mind.

2) Always check the cashback sites listed on this page.

3) It is probable that customers can migrate from O2 to Be or vice versa whilst within contract. It certainly used to be possible to move from Be to O2 in this situation. I haven’t seen any recent examples, and given the new less good O2 packages I don’t expect to, but maybe you would like to make that move.

4) FUP and traffic management for joiners after 14 July 2010:-

Access 20GB; Basics 20GB; All Rounder 100GB; The Works 250GB.
All Rounder and The Works  Unlimited from 21 September 2011.

If you can’t fit into the above, I suggest looking at O2’s sister company Be. The same network without the restrictions, though Value is only up to 12Mbps and there are no email/web space offerings. I don’t like those from ISPs anyway as they often make migration difficult.  See my ISP-independent web/email page.
