Be Broadband has urged shoppers to take advantage of the savings available to high-speed users, revealing a typical family could save over £285 on their Christmas list. This would be done by using Internet shopping sites and cashback offers from major retailers, with a little help from Be.
Naturally the research was conducted to coincide with the launch of
Be Broadband’d promotion on Quidco,com, where new customers to Be can save up to £76 and get a free connection if they buy the Be Value product through
http://www.quidco.com/bethere-co-uk :
“
The shopping list we put together would have cost £876 if we went to the high street. With online shopping you’ll quickly find massive discounts from respected retailers online” said Felix Geyr, Managing Director at
Be Broadband. “
Our customers tell us that high-speed is great for multimedia and gaming, but these figures show it can replace the high street as well.”
Several examples are touted, such as a saving of 75% on H Samuel's gold and diamond earrings via Amazon, which would have cost £135 on the High Street but can be had for £33.75 online.
