UPD UK ISP BE Broadband Offers One Year of Half Price Internet Access

Internet provider BE Broadband appears to have taken a leaf out of its parents book (O2 UK) by launching a special offer that gives new subscribers to any of its packages a full year of half price broadband access (only available alongside a 12 month contract).

The promotion, which is available until the 30th September 15th October 2012, will for example see prices starting from just £8.50 inc. VAT a month instead of the usual £17 for the entry-level BE Value package. This comes with up to 10Mbps download speeds (1.1Mbps upload), unlimited usage, free connection, free wireless router and free 24/7 support.

Apparently new customers can take advantage of the offer by entering the following promo code during signup – “HalfPriceSep” (without the speech marks). It should be noted that this offer only applies to the broadband price and not their optional BE Line Rental (phone) service, which costs from £10 per month. Faster and more flexible packages are available.

As a side note it’s worth remembering that BE has delayed the launch of its future BE Superfast Broadband (FTTC) package until sometime in 2013 (here).
