BT broadband's (www.BT.com) has cut the cost of its fibre optic broadband packages for customers who also take its anytime calls package.
The provider’s new BT Infinity packages offers speeds of up to 40Mb broadband - and you can now bundle it with anytime calls for just £7.49 a month for the first three months.
The package also comes with a 40GB monthly download allowance and free anytime UK landline calls.
The deal costs just £17.99 a month for the rest of the 18 month contract - cheaper than BT’s standalone Infinity packages. You also need to pay a £25 activation fee and line rental, which currently costs £11.54 a month.
Because BT uses fibre optic cables to deliver its Infinity broadband, it can offer much faster speeds. And although you still might not get your full advertised speed, BT is guaranteeing at least 15Mb for all Infinity customers.
Michael Phillips, Broadbandchoices.co.uk product director, said: “BT’s Infinity packages already offer great value for money, with an up to 40Mb package from just £19.99 a month. And now this latest deal makes it even more competitive.
“A superfast broadband package lets you really make the most of the internet. As well as speeding up your music and movie downloads, you'll also be able to watch the BBC iPlayer in high-definition make video calls or simply get the whole family online at the same time.”
