I read on a forum ( wi-fitechnology /displayarticle2666.html ) about
getting broadband for free with telephone rental with carephone warehouse,
just wondering if anybody here actually has it? because it looks to good to
be true to me!
do companies really offer such a great service no strings attached like the
one here.

If you read that news, well, you have to buy their other telephone service
etc.
That may and may not be OK for everyone, but I think it's a good move from
them to pull some business from BT and the big ISPs. It is a brave as well
as risky marketing method, it may make them or brake them, we'll see!
Bundling services is nothing new, what is new is Hyenas trying to become
Lions, BT is still a big monopoly in the UK, in fact it owns or has the
biggest share in most of the telecommunications infrastructure that is
needed for telephony as well as the Internet, what if BT all of a sudden
decides to offer 20 Mbps free broadband for an extra fiver a quarter, they
can afford to do it to keep customers from migrating to other smaller ISPs
and pull migrated customers back, well, that will go down very nicely with
80 %+ UK population!
British Gas started feeling the heat and did something similar with
existing customers with no additional charge (fixed their price until I
think 2009), where has that left other energy providers!

i've just signed up with Talktalk.Line/free calls 24-7/ up to 8m broadband
all for £21 per month +installation fee.Thing to watch:- if their own
broadband isnt available, they may slip in an extra £10 mothly fee for
the old broadband.This lasts until theirs is ready.They ar currently
installing their own kit in various exchanges and your free broadband
starts when your exchange is ready.
I'm currently still running at 1meg.
Emails are mainly ignored and phones are busy.I think that they are being
swamped by new customers __________________________________
