Another extremely well priced deal (new customers only) from BT for a 12 month contract - just £13.15 per month (after cashback) and that includes unlimited 'superfast' fibre broadband, line rental and free weekend calls to UK landlines.
Horrible company to deal with, and the price will almost certainly increase mid-contract, but you can use that as a means of getting out of the contract at their expense.
You do need to go through Topcashback to get this deal - it makes it cheaper than the MSE deal currently being offered.
Here's a breakdown of the figures:
£28.99 per month including line rental and weekend UK landline calls. Add £59.99 for activation and BT Smart Hub router. Total cost over the full year £407.87.
But: £150 prepaid Mastercard + £100 Topcashback.
So total net cost for the year £157.87 - just £13.15 per month including unlimited fibre broadband, line rental and all weekend calls to UK landlines.

You must be the only one then... they've been truly awful in the times I've dealt with them. Thankfully Resolver got me a load of complaint money out of them.

Go through Topcashback for this deal. £100 cashback, on top of the £150 BT Mastercard.

It's not just an MSE deal - it's a standard deal if you go through the right links. In fact the MSE deal only gives £50 cashback, and this one gives £100. Worth repeating the MSE comments though - they're valid but the monthly figures are higher because the cashback's lower.
The key to slashing costs is bagging hot promos - and after cashback this is a real blockbuster...
Fibre broadband's best for homes with multiple users, streamers or gamers, yet while you normally pay a premium, this deal's less than half the price of many slower, non-promo broadband & line costs. With BT's standard costs at £41/mth for normal speed and £47/mth for fibre, savings could be £350+ over the year's contract.
BT fibre broadband & line '£17/mth'. Via this BT fibre link* anyone who doesn't currently have BT broadband can get up-to-52Mb fibre (3x standard speed) + line rent for a year, till Wed 19 April. It gives unlimited downloads and is available to 83% of the UK - you're told when applying if you can get it. Here's how it works:
Unlimited fibre broadband and line rent £28.99/mth for 12mths. After, it jumps to £47.49/mth. Weekend calls to UK landlines are included, see BT call costs for others.
You pay £59.99 set-up costs. Includes activation and p&p for the 'free' router.
CLAIM a £150 prepaid Mastercard & £50 cashback AFTER installation. This is the heat that makes this a serious sizzler. Annoyingly, BT won't remind you to claim, so remember to use this Mastercard link and cashback link. You've up to 3mths after activation to claim - they then take up to 45 days to arrive.
- Is the price fixed during the contract? Technically no, though BT told us it has no plans to increase it. If it does, you should be able to ditch your contract penalty-free.
- Cost analysis: You pay £407.87 over 1yr before calls. But claim the cashback & use the Mastercard (which is like cash) & it's £207.87, equiv to £17.32/mth. Regular cashback site users may see bigger cashback elsewhere, but often on more expensive deals.

£50 more than I just signed up for too!
I don't use tcb though so £200 MasterCard was better option for me.
The smart hub is the best signal around my house by far.

I have found BT customer services much better than most but it is always down to what experience you have had to have with them :smiley:

Thanks OP - only for new users apparently? I contacted BT by phone and they offered me the same package at £47 p/m to include fees or £37 p/m with paying the fees of £59.99 up front and over 18 months! So cheapest deal I was offered is £9 p/m more expensive than the new customer offer! They've got me on the hook as i'm still in contract on a basic broadband package!
Any advice on how to get a sharper deal? or do i just have to put up with this shocking treatment from BT and pay the extra?

If you're still in contract I'm afraid they've got you over a barrel. You need to wait for one of their inevitable price increases to get out of the contract, or the end of the contract, before they're likely to offer you a decent deal.

Since I've been back with BT (Dec last year), I've had to contact them twice, each time I chose the chat option. First time I Waited maybe 5 mins or so for someone, and after explaining my issue (they got the deal wrong when I joined up and charged me for connection twice), she was polite and more to the point she was very competent and explained how I would get the money credited to my account etc and said she was sorry that this happened... so good experience with them. Second time it was again a bill/pricing complaint and got sorted out within a few mins on chat. OK so I shouldn't have had those errors in the first place, but they dealt with them swiftly and competently.
Unlike TT, I absoloutely hate that company with a passion... they were rude, incompetent and outright cheats and liars in every dealing I had with them when I was a customer, I will never ever go back to them... even though the service was quite good and hardly had any problems, when I did have a problem it took ages to sort out, they would frequently just drop the call when I had been waiting 30 mins/on hold etc, had a guy hang up on me when he wasn't happy with what I said (and I wasn't being rude or anything, he just couldn't understand my problem so thought it was better to hang up on me obviously), so had to complain about that too. When I was leaving I had to organise our phone contracts with them too, and they outright lied to me and told me the cost wouldn't go up, so I said OK I'll keep the phone with them then... and low and behold the cost went up to double, so I rang them and they claimed that nobody would tell me that etc etc... so had to cancel them after that. They offered to lower the cost again, but as I had been lied to and cheated etc I thought it was best to leave, lol.
Anyway, we all have different experiences with reps of the firms, so it's a pot luck with whomever you go with whether you will get good service and experiences with their support staff. Luckily BT have been OK so far, so will see how it goes as I got a good deal when I joined up too. I have no problems quitting a company if they f* up royally.. we don't get any loyalty for being customers any more, so why should we be loyal back, just change provider every time you go out of contract unless they offer you a good retention deal.
Voted hot OP, hope you have a good experience too :smiley:

I'm with you mate - awful company. Totally untrustworthy. I'm with TalkTalk at the moment - far better. Once I'm out of contract, though, I'll be back to BT again for a decent deal like this one, get as much out of them as possible, and then away again. Last time round I had free internet etc for months, the usual router etc and a profit of a couple of hundred pounds - serves them right for pushing the prices up.
Loyal customers get nothing from BT - it's only worth staying with them as long as you have to to complete the contract.

How is TalkTalk better when they take cost-cutting measures on their security at the risk of their customers? Loyalty means nothing for all the big companies now anyway, TalkTalk don't offer any loyalty bonuses like they used to and their service when things go wrong is woeful.
