BT Retail UK Offers FREE Vision TV Service with Broadband and Phone Bundle

BT has today launched a new offer that effectively includes its BTVision TV (IPTV) service for free alongside their broadband and calls bundle. The package, which would usually cost £17 a month, is for a limited time being reduced to just £13 (i.e. the £4 Vision Essentials element becomes free).

The package itself bundles BT’s Total Broadband Option 1 (i.e. up to 16Mbps speeds, 10GB usage, unlimited wifi, free HomeHub router and 12 month contract) service with unlimited evening and weekend UK calls. Customers also get the TV Essential (Vision) service, which includes PVR features and access to on-demand content, including box office films, as well as the usual iPlayer style catch-up TV content and Freeview channels.

Alex Green, BTVision’s TV Commercial and Product Director, said:

“BT Vision is the fastest-growing digital TV service in the UK because it gives viewers exactly what they want: great TV, film and sport when it’s convenient for them to watch. We’re delighted to offer it free for a limited period so that even more people can see what they’ve been missing.”

But customers will still need to pay line rental from £10.75 a month and there’s also a one-off £40 activation charge, not to mention the £6.95 delivery fee for that vision box. It’s also worth pointing out that the price will return and even rise to £18 per month (not £17 as you might think) after the first 12 months of service. The offer, which doesn’t seem to be live on their website yet, ends on 4th October 2012.
