O2 Broadband Packages

Originally an arm of BT Wireless, the telecommunications giant, O2 underwent a corporate spin-off and demerged to become what is now a firmly established independent entity in its own right. A leader in the mobile market, O2 services individual consumers and businesses alike for their mobile and broadband needs. Moreover, they facilitate several other communication tools such as text and media messaging, music and video platforms, games and GPRS & 3G data.

As well as being a principal preference of mobile phone operator in the UK, O2 are active in similar markets abroad, including much of Europe from within the Telefónica O2 Europe group. Inside the United Kingdom alone the O2 group has over 18 million customers and a further 40 million across their European subsidiaries.

O2’s broadband service has been acknowledged by many separate arbitrators for their service. These include multiple awards from USwitch.com for great value and best speed, All Providers Customer Service 2011 from Broadband Choices, and Best Technology Services Provider 2010 by Which?

Every customer that chooses O2 to become their broadband provider will receive a 12 month or 30 day rolling contract – and for a limited time O2 are also offering customers the first 3 months of their service completely free of charge when they take a 12 month contract!
Another great offer is that if you are already an existing O2 customer then you will be given £5 off of your new broadband service every month that you subscribe to them!
Additionally, customers will be in constant contact with their provider thanks to 24/7 phone support services which are based in the UK.

There are many additional incentives that you can benefit from should you choose O2 to be your broadband provider, such as priority access to exclusive gigs and events and O2 rewards like early upgrades on your mobile.

Broadband Packages
O2 offers a comprehensive range of 4 individual broadband tariffs for customers to browse and choose from.
Each of these packages can be subscribed to with no connection fee if you choose a 12 month contract. Otherwise, a 30-day contract is subject to a £30.63 connection fee or for only £25.53 for non-O2 mobile customers.

Similarly all broadband packages include a wireless router, free customer service from within the UK, as well as O2 e-mail to mobiles, e-mail storage, up to 10 individual e-mail addresses, O2 contacts, a personal online calendar, and incorporated into all of them is a 30-day happiness guarantee!

This means that users can leave their subscription if they so choose, subject to 30 days of notice and a mandatory £30.63 initial set-up fee.

Every package on offer includes an O2 wireless box which allows users to surf online from any room in their home and you can also connect up to 10 individual computers to the Internet at once. This wireless router is protected with built-in firewalls and safeguards that will defend your computers from harmful content.

For no extra or hidden cost whatsoever, O2 will provide each customer with McAfee protective security software. This includes antivirus spyware, spam filters, firewalls and parental controls that can be set up to monitor and defend your children or other family members from unsuitable material on the Internet.

O2 also offers maintains their high quality service by ensuring that there is technical support readily available to customers throughout the year. For this reason, UK-based customer support is accessible 24/7 and 365 days.
Similarly, customers are offered a 30-day happiness guarantee. This means that when you subscribe to a new O2 Home Broadband package and find that it is not satisfactory within those initial 30 days, you can cancel the contract straight away!

Switch to O2 Broadband
O2 are offering consumers a truly hassle-free way to switch from their current provider to a superior style of service.
In order to benefit from an O2 Broadband package you will need an active home phone line. If you do not have one that is presently compatible then you can receive a new one from O2.
All that you must do is inform your existing provider that you intend to leave, and get your unique MAC number from them, which they are obliged to give by law. Once you have this, tell O2 and they will begin the switchover process whereby you should be connected to their network within just 2 weeks. You will not lose your Internet connection in the meantime.

A welcome pack will be sent to your home while the switchover process takes place. Watch the included DVD to find out how to use your new service, and plug in the O2 box. That’s it!

If you are unsure of whether to go with O2 you can register your interest while you try out other providers. Then, O2 will contact you nearer the time you have specified to verify if you would like to proceed with them as your new broadband provider. You can also take advantage of their money back guarantee if you change your mind!

O2 Broadband FAQs

How do I switch?
Customers can switch from their existing broadband provider to the O2 service by simply extracting your MAC code from your current provider, and telling O2 what it is. They will take care of the rest for you!

Do I connect to the O2 network via cable?
No, the O2 network is accessible to you through a landline. If you do not have one then O2 can install a new one for you. This is priced at a one-off payment of £86.81.

How fast will my connection be?
Unfortunately, broadband speed is a variable thing. It is affected by the type of connection that you have and at times can be affected by the distance you live from the telephone exchange. Even so, O2 promise to always make sure that you will receive a Home Broadband service of the highest possible speed.

Do I have to be an O2 mobile customer?
No, there is no need to already be an existing O2 customer to benefit from their broadband supply. If you are on the O2 mobile network, however, there are multiple added benefits and discounts exclusive to you.

How long does it take to switchover?
O2 will make the switch as quickly as possible but it will usually take them about 2 weeks to complete. Don’t worry though; your existing provider will make sure that you don’t lose your Internet connection in the meantime.

Is my phone number affected?
Your present phone number should not be affected by any changes to your Home Broadband service. If you are switching your phone line rental as well, then they will ensure that you keep your existing number.
