ISP BT Offers Choice of 3 Tech Gadgets with Broadband Packages
New customers of BT’s UK home broadband and phone packages are for a limited time being offered a free choice of either an Amazon Echo (smart speaker), JBL Bar Studio (soundbar) or Hive Smart Lights Pack when they sign-up to the service, which is on top of the provider’s now customary reward cards (pre-paid MasterCard).
As usual each package comes attached to an 18 month contract term, phone line rental, unlimited data usage, a wireless router (usually a Smart Hub 1 or 2), Cloud storage (online backup), Virus Protect, Parental Controls, Call Protect (stops nuisance calls), free access to BT’s national network of public WiFi hotspots and a speed guarantee (i.e. claim £20 back if you suffer slower than the minimum expected speed for your line).
The offer of free tech gadgets is expected to run until at least 23rd May and it may continue to be available until 30th May (according to BT’s website), but BT does have a tendency to change their promotions on a weekly basis and their supply of units could run out sooner than expected.

At the start of this year BT also announced that they would “not be increasing prices for BT broadband, home phone and mobile plans in 2019” and from 2020 they’ll instead adopt price increases linked to inflation (here). Mind you they do have some of the most expensive post-contract prices in the consumer broadband market, so that may not be much of a consolation.

Still holding off waiting for BT to offer to pay my mortgage for a month before I’d entertain coming back
I dislike this side of things from service providers, i understand their need to “stand out” but this type of stuff just segregates existing customers and should really be sorted out by Ofcom
Never got my free gift or reward when i was with them. Left as soon as prices near doubled.
GARBAGE COMPANY THEY CAN’T EVEN OFFER 1GBPS DOWNLOAD AND UPLOAD TO REGULAR CUSTOMERS AND THEY CHARGE A LOT OF MONEY.
I wonder how hard it is these day’s to port your home phone number to another provider it’s the only thing stopping me from switching
Easy to move your phone number. But you can only do it on a real fibre connection, and most of those services above come through a phone line not fibre, so if you move to a VoIP service you can’t have broadband and therefore no phone… they have it all stitched up.
Why do people still sign up to BT?
One of the worst companies on the planet.
Mind you, Openreach are a close second.
Mugs.
