Free O2 broadband is now available with iPhone tethering.
Today marks the days when O2 loses the two year exclusivity rights for selling the Apple iPhone as Orange are now also in the market to sell them.
With this added extra competition for O2 they are going to have to work harder to get new would-be iPhone customers to choose them over Orange and as such have today (surprising coincidence, or not, the same day as Orange get to sell the iPhone) launched a new Total Connectivity package that offers customers free home broadband if they sign up for an iPhone tethering 3G data plan.
What this offers customers is that for £9.79 per month, iPhone customers with O2 will receive 3GB of tethering data and also free home O2 broadband.
To receive the free home O2 broadband, O2 iPhone customers need to buy the 3GB Internet Tethering Bolt On by 31st December 2009 to be able to receive the Total Connectivity package.
What the O2 Home broadband standard package offers is up to 8Mb broadband download speeds and 1.3Mb upload, Unlimited usage (fair use policy applies), free wireless router and 100 texts per month. For anyone who wants to choose one of the other O2 Home broadband deals they will receive a £7.34 per month discount on whichever one they choose.
