My latest BT bill shows broadband and line rental charged at £35.99

They have been nagging me with freeÂ* infinity activation for
ages so out of interest I had a look at what their so-called
offers are :-

Figures in backets are presumably what will be charged in 18
months time after contract expiry.

In other words, I could double my monthly allowance, and get
a small speed increase while paying £1 a month less than I pay
now for Option 1 normal broadband. Odd for BT to give anything
away !.

Does anyone know any hidden catches ?.

The catch is that it is BT.

Try a sensible supplier ...


And lose my main email address that everyone knows ....

That's a good reason for NOT using your ISP email service as your main one, that way you can switch whenever you like without worry about this sort of thing.
