As first reported towards the end of last week, O2 UK has now officially detailed and launched its new range of fixed line 'up to' 20Mb Home Broadband and Home Phone (+line rental) packages - 'The Basics', 'The All Rounder' and 'The Works'. Prices start at just £8 per month for their cheapest deal and come with a special 3 MONTHS FREE BROADBAND promotion for new customers.

O2 has also moved to clarify its usage allowances by removing the word "unlimited" and replacing it with "As much as you want / like", albeit still subject to a Fair Usage Policy (FUP). The FUP itself now sets a maximum download limit of 20GB (GigaBytes per month) for 'The Basics' and a soft one of 100GB for 'The All Rounder' and 250GB for 'The Works'.

Each of the following broadband packages also come with a 12 month minimum contract term as before, although those who would prefer a 30 day (rolling) contract can add one at an additional one-off cost of £29.99. As before, existing O2 Mobile customers can take the services for a lower price than non-O2 mobile users.
