Let your broadband blossom with the new Springwatch Deal from BT, giving you broadband and calls for just £13 a month.
As well as the Springwatch Deal, you can also take advantage of other special offers from BT broadband (www.BT.com), to help you save even more.
The new Springwatch Deal from BT gives you speeds of up to 20Mb broadband and a 10GB download allowance, as well as free evening and weekend calls - all for just £13 a month.
You will need to pay line rental on top, which normally costs £14.60 a month with BT, though you can cut this down to £10 a month if you agree to pay a full year’s line rental in advance.
As well as a cheap deal, you'll also get three months free connection, saving you nearly £40.
The Springwatch Deal comes with BT Option 1 broadband, giving you a 10GB monthly download allowance. This is perfect if you're a light internet user and don’t spend a lot of time downloading music or watching the BBC iPlayer, or if you don’t have a large household that all want to get online at the same time.
If you exceed your monthly download allowance you'll be charged £5 for an extra 5GB. But if you think you will need a higher limit, it might be worth signing up for BT Option 2 or 3 instead.
All three deals offer speeds of up to 20Mb, but the Option 2 package comes with a 40GB download allowance while the Option 3 package comes with “unlimited broadband” downloads, subject to a fair usage policy.
BT also offers two new fibre optic packages through its new superfast broadband network. Its BT Infinity packages come with speeds of up to 40Mb broadband and the fastest uploads at up to 10Mb.
BT Infinity Option 1 comes with a 40GB data allowance while Option 2 offers “unlimited” downloads.
You can also save money by bundling your broadband with other services offered by BT. As well as traditional landline and calls packages, you can also get BT Vision, BT’s digital TV service.
So whether you want anytime calls, cheap line rental with BT Line Rental Saver or digital TV with on-demand movies and low-cost Sky Sports, BT will have a bundle to suit your budget.
