The circle is now complete. In the heady days of 1981, BT was split off from the parent GPO. Now, the Post Office is punting broadband services alongside its former protégé in a twist of fate, much like the confrontation of Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi on the deck of the Death Star.
The Post Office realise that the stalls are largely set out against them, and so have a lot of work to do in terms of winning customers round. Whilst they cannot offer attractive secondary services such as digital TV and mobile calls, they have come up with some pretty sweet bundle deals.
Their two broadband products, Broadband Standard and Broadband Extra, listed here on their own, can come combined with a number of attractive call packages, some of which allow customers to make free calls to other Post Office customers – we’ll be featuring their call and broadband bundle packages in greater detail in the weeks to come.
