Fibre Optic ISP Hyperoptic Offers Free Phone Line Rental for One Year

City-focused UK ISP Hyperoptic has announced that customers who want to bundle a fixed phone line with their ultrafast fibre optic (FTTH/B) broadband service can now take the line rental free for the first full year of service, which represents a saving of £12.50 per month (£150 total for 12 months).

The deal, which is available until Friday 28th November 2014, is valid with a choice of three broadband speeds 20Mbps (£12.50 a month), 100Mbps (£25.00 a month) or 1000Mbps (£50.00 a month). It also includes a free connection (normally £40) and free standard installation (a saving of £200) and inclusive calls to UK landlines during evenings and weekends.

All packages typically come with a 12 month contract term, free wireless router and unlimited usage. Take note that it’s also possible to take the fibre optic broadband packages as a standalone service (no phone), although for that you’ll want to take advantage of Hyperoptic’s separate half-price promotion in order to get the best value (here).

Otherwise readers that wish to benefit from the free line rental discount should visit Hyperoptic’s website and use the promotion code ISPREVIEW. Take note that Hyperoptic’s FTTH/B service is currently available in parts of selected cities across the United Kingdom, including Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Cardiff (Wales), Bristol, Reading, Glasgow, London, Newcastle, Sheffield, Birmingham and Nottingham (note: most of their availability still exists within London).

A spokesperson for Hyperoptic said they were making the offer in order to help all those who might be less than pleased by the recent line rental hikes from the big ISPs. We suspect that quite a few people will fall into that category.
