From the 10th of November, online customers will be able to sign up for a 12 month AOL Wireless Broadband contract which includes a top download speed of 8Mbps, a 10GB usage cap a choice of either free evening and weekend calls or unlimited anytime calls (local and national 01, 02 and 03 numbers), and pay their line rental directly to AOL, rather than having to pay BT. This means there’s just one convenient monthly bill for broadband, calls and line rental – all your communications costs covered by one neat monthly payment.
Whilst there is no difference in terms of price – the line rental is billed at £10.50 a month (that same as you’d pay BT) the total cost of the services (broadband and voice calls) plus line rental will appear as one sum on your bank statement, allowing you to quantify your costs with greater ease. Existing customers should see the change in their statement from November onwards.
The only thing required from BT is the installation of a phone line. There are no additional charges for connection or any set-up fees from AOL, or installation of the free Netgear Wireless Router (RRP £50). In addition to up to 8Mbps broadband and a choice of free call packages, all AOL Broadband customers get free technical support assistance over the phone (lines open from 8am to midnight), and allow you to switch your existing phone number over to the new service.
This AOL package will be available to customers who order online from the 10th of November, or if you can’t wait that long, give AOL a call on 0800 049 4402.
