ISP BT Launches New 9 Month Broadband Plans for UK Students

BT‘s consumer division has today announced the start of their annual student broadband deals ahead of the new term, which as per usual feature shorter 9 month contract terms as an option alongside the usual 12 month ones. Sadly they only seem to be offering this on their slower 50Mbps and 67Mbps (FTTC) plans.

Prices start at £29.99 per month (£35 from month 13) on a 12 month contract with a 50Mbps average broadband download speed, which includes their Smart Hub wireless router (plus £9.99 for delivery), phone line rental, unlimited usage, access to 5 million of their public WiFi hotspots, internet security / parental controls and their “Stay Fast Guarantee” (i.e. get £20 back if they fail to deliver the expected speed for your line).

All of the shorter 9 month term packages tend to be +£2 extra per month more expensive than their 12 month options. As a bonus the ISP is also throwing in a JBL Sound Bar worth £149.99 on new orders but only for their 12 month terms. Plus you can optionally add BT’s Complete WiFi coverage feature for an extra +£10 per month if you want.

However BT’s Student Packages do tend to be quite pricey compared with similar spec packages from a few other providers so it’s worth shopping around. Otherwise their student deals will run until 3rd of October 2019.
