Broadband - Pay for someone else's

JamesU2005 · 12 Dec 2009 at 19:09

I would like to purchase broadband for my Parents and pay for it myself.

However, because I do not live with them do you think any company would allow this?

Can I pay with my debit card even though I am not the homeowner and the address on my card will be different to the broadband location.

Just thought someone here might have done something similar ever.

Cheers,

I live with my girlfriends family and I pay for the broadband here, but my card is registered to my parents address.

Never been a problem

I do this with Zen. No problems.

I do it with BeThere no problem, pay for 2 lines, 2 different locations.

Ditto, I move quite frequently because of my job so my bank accounts are all registered at my parents house.

Never had a problem using either direct debit or a card to pay for my internet wherever I've lived in the last few years.

Just opened a new account for BE using Direct Debit.

But I'm panicking a little because after I submitted the Direct Debit web form, I suddenly realised it never asked for a different address. So Im wondering whether BE will send the Direct Debit form to my bank with the address of the broadband on it and not the address that's on my bank account.

Ok maybe not panicking
