I thought they did away with that in the newer Unlimited Infinity packages?

Oh, that's pretty good. When did they implement that?

yeah they have but only if you are a new customer. So I have to suffer with throttle

My parents were customers when it was brought in and they don't get p2p throttling at all :confused:

Quite a while ago I believe

@OP that is a pretty shocking deal as Infinity 2 is normally £26 per month plus line rental

Easy to test. Just see if p2p uploads hit 20Mbps, or thereabouts, at peak periods.

Twirlywoos · 27 May 2013 at 08:30

crap offer, I pay £20 plus line rental and get 80Mbp/s unlimited inc p2p

Hmm it actually says 17.65 (not including line rental) on my bill. Still quite a lot compared to what has been replied with.

The plusnet one looks pretty good!

Sorry, where is the deal? I just moved from O2 to PlusNet two weeks ago and am getting 73/16 FttC speeds for £9.99 first 6 months rising to £19.99. Also paid a year of line rental up front, so equates to £10.50 pm with evening a weekend calls. That is how a deal is done, BT.

They rang me and said Infinity would be 50p more a month than what I was on (24mb) so I went for it.

Is the plusnet one reliable? I may need to take a look at that sometime

ChrisD. · 27 May 2013 at 10:42

Yes Plusnet is very good. I moved from BT to Plusnet, very happy. I'd rate Plusnet above BT.

man I hate line rental so much, don't even have a phone plugged in but they won't give you infinity without it (fttp)

Same here, i don't understand why no provider hasn't offered a package with no phone included yet(without bumping the price up anyway), they would get a shed load of new custom for that reason only.. As long and the broadband was reasonably priced of course.

But i guess they use the price of the line rental to subsidize the rest of the package ><

It will be infinity 2 (evenings + weekends only), like what I have. See post above.

Muller1989 · 27 May 2013 at 14:03

As Muon said

Brummies · 27 May 2013 at 18:13

That's a very good price, currently paying around £35 for mine which includes infinity option 2 + Unlimited calls addon.. I might look into this as I want BT Sport too.

Though that said it seems I won't be saving much.

Exactly. It wouldn't be much cheaper as you still physically need the phone line and for it to be maintained and working.

I pay £15 a month for line rental and 80mbps Infinity, one benefit of working for BT

CREATIVE!11 · 28 May 2013 at 20:47

how are some of you guys getting good deals?

I'm new customer looking at infinity 2 and it's 26 pound month and 15 line rental at full price

Apart from the poster paying a rather unbelievable £7 a month, no one is paying anything particularly cheap.

If you take into account the £100 Sainsburys voucher, £110 Quidco and £6 a month off for the first 3 months, my Infinity 2 is costing me £13.30 a month plus line rental (£10/mo - as paid annually). Cant argue with that!

Also includes unlimited evening and weekend calls.

Apologies I pay £11.10 for unlimited weekend and evening calls and infinity 2. Not quite the 7 quid I claimed but still only £9.10 seeing as the call plan costs £2.00 a month
