Be broadband in free Christmas deal
December 22, 2008 at 8:09 pm
For anyone who waited until the end of the year to think about getting a broadband package, Christmas came surprisingly early. Be Broadband, in its latest bid to attract new customers, recently announced that it would be providing a completely free service for the rest of the month to anyone who signed up for its Be Value broadband service before the 14th of December.
Even better than that, it also confirmed that it would not be charging any signup fees for the privilege, meaning many people across the UK will now be enjoying completely free broadband access for the rest of the year.
Of course, this offer won’t go on forever, and the party will be well and truly over after the New Year has arrived, when customers will be expected to pay £13.50 a month for a minimum 12-month period.
It includes all that you would expect for the price, with speeds of up to 8Mbps, a free modem, free Web space and unlimited data usage. In fact, the only thing that customers will have to pay for throughout December is the BT line rental, but this is one fee that can’t be escaped.
The move suggests that the ISPs are really battling it out for customers at this time of year, well aware that a decent broadband package can make a great Christmas present. For some people, buying that present just got a whole lot cheaper. However, I don’t think they’ll be telling the recipient of the gift that they purchased it for free!
