Upgrade to BT Unlimited Broadband Extra at a disco...

I've received an email from BT which starts:
'Last month you had to pay a bit extra for going over your monthly usage limit. You don't want that, and we don't want that – so how about a really special deal on unlimited broadband? We'll give you totally unlimited broadband and Unlimited UK* Anytime Calls for only £23 a month plus your usual line rental throughout. That's £5 lower than normal. You won't see this price advertised.'
I'm already on unlimited, I didn't pay any extra last month, I'm already paying less than the offer.
This is at best misleading, and at worst a blatant lie to try to get me to pay them more money.

I have received one of these and TBH it looks pretty genuine to me, it arrived on my email address that normally does not get any junk or spam, it has all the BT logos on and links to BTcom   the letter is signed by -:
Libby Barr
Managing Director, BT Sales and Service
I did get an email last month as I had used 7Gb of my 10Gb cap and I have been contemplating upgrading to unlimited.
I have not clicked any of the links within the email but TBH it looks very genuine to me.
I hope someone from BT can confirm whether it is or not
Below is what the email states (I have removed the HTML and links)

Upgrading to Unlimited Broadband issues.

Hi,
I am currently on the bt total broadband 10 GB package and would like to upgrade to the Unlimited Broadband package. When I try to upgrade online the only options it eventually gives me is the current package im already on and the unlimited broadband 'extra' package which I dont want, I just want the 16 ppm unlimited package not the extra. Any ideas?

The same happened to me - although I was on option 2. I contacted 0800 800 030 as below. It took over an hour to get through - possibly due to the BT Sports launch - but when I finally did I was offered unlimited BB for £13.25 per month.

Why am I only being offered unlimited broadband ex...

I need to upgrade my broadband package as I went over the 40gb limit last month and was charged £35 (my fault!)
I have tried tochange to unlimited broadband but the only option offered to me ONLINE was unlimited broadband EXTRA which I dont want or need!! This costs an extra £5/month from the standard unlimited (£21/m as opposed to £16/m)
WHY???????????????

BT released another Totally Unlimited Broadband pa...

Hi
I have recently upgraded to the top normal broadband package BT just released at the start of
this month Totally Unlimited Broadband extra which is priced at £21 per month + Line rental
from £10.75 and this was their top normal broadband package on their website.
I have just noticed today BT has just released yet another Totally Unlimited Broadband
package just a day or two ago called Faster Unlimited Broadband which is priced
at £26 per month + Line rental from £10.75.
Looking at the description of both packages on the website below, they are identical and
have the exact same features and up to speeds thought the new just released Faster
Unlimited Broadband package for some reason is 5 pounds more per month.
Does anybody know what the difference is between the Unlimited Broadband extra
package and this new Faster Unlimited Broadband package?

Thank you for the response.

Unlimited Broadband extra
You get 50Gb cloud, and Netprotect included.
Can`t see a Faster Unlimited Broadband package.

BT Broadband Extra - Ordering

Hi,
I recently received a letter from BT offering 'BT Broadband Extra' with an offer code to quote. The letter also says 'If you preferorder online and you'll also get a £25 Sainsburys Gift Card'.
I can't see anywhere that I can order this product through the website - I've tried going through the order process for Broadband in the hope a dialogue box to enter the offer code might appear at the billing stage, but that doesn't seem to be the case either. I'd rather order online and get the £25 card if possible...
Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks.

Would that be the "Unlimited Broadband Extra" that's about 1/2 way down this page? http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/products/broadband/packages
BT keep changing their packages, so it's hard to keep up.

Unlimited broadband / total broadband option 3

Hi, can anyone tell me if the totally unlimited broadband free for 6 months £16 month after is the same as the bt total broadband option 3 ? i ordered the unlimited but in my account it says total broadband option 3 ? are they the same package?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

By the look of the BT website, there is no longer BT option 3. There seems to be BTunlimited and BT unlimited extra. The BTunlimited extra looks like it is the same as the old Option 3. If you are only paying £16 then it looks like you are on BTunlimited.
To be sure you should give customer services a call and they will confirm what you are on.

Unlimited Broadband Data Plan...what's it worth if you got-ta-have it?

I have an unlimited broadband data plan that I used in an air card, and I'm not using it. The online VZ rep said the plan could be transfer to another customer. My plan is $60, and the new plans don't even offer unlimited. 10GB cost you $80 + $10 for every gig over. Who or what would require 100GB, 250GB, or 1000GB per month. I need to find that guy, because I've got a deal he'll love.
Thanks guys,
K8S

Wow, I have two phones due for upgrade in April. I was hoping that with these two at home and the 10Gb data plan on the modem I wouldn't have any issues living with the 10G cap since I could do big streams, like Netflix, on the phones and wouldn't hit the modem limit under normal circumstances. If I can't use a phone with an unlimited plan to watch Netflix a few times a month what good is the unlimited plan? I'll keep an eye on the VZW forums and see if others are getting throttled regularly and for what kind of traffic. Other than P2P I can't see how legitimate downloads or video/audio streaming use should ever be throttled.

Prospective Move From Sky Unlimited Broadband to B...

Hi all
Download speed is what I am seeking and I understand that my exchange "west ayton" will be be moving to Superfast Fibre Broadband between this month and September. I am keen to move across and have some questions regarding the Modem (or modem/router) that BT will provide.
I gather the BT Home Hub 4 has still only got one gigabit lan port which I think is pathetic in this day and age so my first question is - " will the provided router/modem be capable of switching/configuring to modem-only mode?". I have a decent Router which has 4 gigabit lan ports, expanded recently via a cheap 4 x gigabit switch, which is served by the even more pathetic router provided by Sky. However the techo's over at the Sky forums told me how to configure it to modem-only mode and this serves my separate router and switch very nicely indeed. Can the BT Router be configured in the same way please?
Currently I am getting 13.5 Mbps and seemingly, with BT Infinity 2, I should be capable of 58/59 Mbps. I live 1.5kms from the Exchange and amd wondering how accurate the forecast that BT provide on their website, is? BT Infinity can get up to 76Mbps it is claimed yet I will only get around 58 - this seems a lot less than the potential is it not? At 58 Mbps, I will not complain at all - this would be 4.3 times more than I am getting now but nevertheless 76 would be much better although I do know that the maximum will not be possible. Thoughts anyone please?
Finally I have always kept my phone line separate to my Broadband packages over the years and now that my Bt Line will be provided by the same Broadband supplier what would be the best packageto go for "Unlimited-wise"? Or do I have no choice? I get inundated with marketing stuff from BT which p****s me off but we seem to be stuck with Openreach as the Superfast Fibre Broadband supplier - is this the case?
Thank you for reading and look forward to some answers
roz

Hi rozel,
Firstly Openreach is the company who own the Fibre broadband Infrastructure in your exchange area. Openreach allow ALL ISPs/Communication Providers to use the fibre infrastructure for the ISP/CP's fibre broadband service.
Even though Openreach is part of the BTplc Group, they are a separate business and have to treat All ISPs/CPs equally.
BT Infinity is just BT Retail's brandname for their Fibre broadband service (Both FTTC and FTTP)
Secondary it sounds like your exchange area is being upgraded with FTTC fibre broadband technology. In this case the speed for FTTC is dependent on your distance (your copper line length) from your property to the FTTC Dslam Cabinet.
The further away you are from the cabinet the slower your Fibre broadband service will be.
When you get a FTTC fibre broadband service such as BT Infinity, the Openreach engineer will install a Openreach Fibre Modem aswell as the BT Home Hub.
You can use your own router if you want and know how to set it up, though it is also best to keep the BT Home Hub just in case.
As to who supplies your phone service, BT Retail do not supply just broadband any more. You will also have to have a phone package aswell.
Hope that all makes sense.
Cheers

Changing to the Unlimited Broadband and Calls Cont...

Hi,
I have been looking at the Unlimited Broadband and Calls contract, and at the moment I have broadband provided by BT and have the phoneline provided by BT, but its not on a contract. I was wondering how I would go about changing to the Unlimited Broadband and Calls contract, do I just sign up for it online, or do I have to cancel what I have now and then buy the contract?
Also, this is going to sound mad, I know, would someone have to come out to set it up?
Before I do change to the Unlimited Broadband and Calls contract, has anyone had/heard of any bad experiences with this contract?
Thanks again in advance
~Iamnoone

You might find it easier to phone the sales department.
Do not cancel your existing broadband and phone - it will only cause problems. You may even be charged a £30 cancellation fee.
There should be no reason for anyone to visit if you already have BT phone and broadband.
Play it right, and you should be able to get a new Home Hub and a significant discount on what you are currently paying, as if you were a new customer. If you don't ask, you don't get.

Is "Faster Unlimited Broadband" the new name for t...

Before ordering it online, can I just confirm that Faster Unlimited Broadband and Evening & Weekend Calls (which costs £20 for first 3 mths and then £26 thereafter) is the fibre optic option whereby an engineer will call to fit a fibre optic cable?
The estimated speed of this option when ordering (9.1 Mbps) gives the same speed as that quoted by the wholesale checker which states: "test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology with an estimated WBC FTTC Broadband where consumers have received downstream line of 9.1 Mbps and upstream line speed of 1 Mbps."
I previously thought I'd have to call 150 to order this fibre service but now it looks as though I can order it online.

basically it is infinity but for people where there speed estimate is 15mb - seen it called infinity option 3. there is a post on speed/connection board by strontium90 which will give an idea

Unlimited Broadband, and Evening & Weekend Calls

Hi All
I'm considering moving over to BT onto their:
Unlimited Broadband, and Evening & Weekend Calls for £25 per month.
Is this service truley unlimited? i.e. no caps on the total amount of downloads and no throttling / caps on the lines speed?
Many thanks

During peak times the download speed may decrease as more people come online. Your connection speed will remain the same.
Actual connection speed depends on the quality of your phone line, and your own internal wiring.

Unlimited broadband

I signed up for a unlimited broadband office package and have found it's not unlimited even though I have never hit my fair usage policy I am still traffic managed because I am a high user (that why I went for unlimited)
I am capped between 6pm and midnight but this isn't due to fair usage policy but a separate policy (which is section B of the fair usage policy) stating that an unlimited account can be network managed if your a high user (why by unlimited if your not a high user?)
been trying to get my mac code for 2 days but because I am only a little business it takes twice as long.
This only came to light after complaining from October 2010 until a couple of days ago
and the service you get when you question their policy is beyond a joke 4 times phone put down on me, attitude of the customer services what a joke
