Who uses 12GB on their Home Broadband Connection these day's?.
I can sometimes easily swallow that on my Phone alone! (via the WiFi Broadband Internet Connection in the House ...
And that's even with the absence of the then Internet feeds via the Laptop + other Wi-Fi enabled Devices in the House?.
(So how much moreso if they allllll were?).
But saying that, it all comes down to interpretation I though?. :-)

It’s for those on low or no incomes. Also although thue state there is a 12GB limit on the bb this isn’t enforceable though they might imply otherwise.

No its not enforceable but they will charge you £1.50 GB what you go over i know because my mum is on BT basic and she used 20gb and had to pay £12 extra. Only happened once and we know the terms so it was fine.
There is a £10 limit on calls now so you can use it as much as you like however if you think you can test BT and call loads racking up £500's of calls then they will move you to the standard line rental package.
You can also pay quarterly by cash and cheque and not direct debit nonsense

Yes, Direct Debit is nonsense.

"Yeah I mean like what right has a company got to set up regular debits from my account for services I've used and agreed to pay for"
I'm not in that relationship anymore.

That's ridiculous then. This isn't much cheaper really - it's not like standard unlimited broadband is 'that' expensive and the risk of going over (as your mum did) is quite high with a miserable 12GB. Typical BT promoting something as helping the public when as usual they are just helping themselves again

Oh right, thanks for the info. I worked indirectly for them for a few weeks last year and it seems it’s changed. We were told under no circumstances were we to offer this deal and that it was unlimited data as it wasn’t something they could make money out of.

Yes I much prefer queuing up at the bank or post office with handfuls of cash or writing out a cheque and posting it off. It's far simpler than the money leaving your bank account automatically. I don't know what these idiots were thinking with Direct Debit!

If this includes line rental then it's a bargain. That's an extra pack of fags to those on a low income that are unable to make rational decisions in life.

Defiantly deserves heat. Just for coming up with this great idea for those who are less fortunate

People have been shot for being "defiant"! I'm not sure that the same would happen if you were "definite" - No guarantees though :unamused:
Did you mean DEFINITELY perhaps?

Quite a good price - particularly if you want BT - so gets some heat from me. However, Sky were recently offering virtually this deal, but with unlimited data, via MSE for £9.50/mo. I haggled with TalkTalk when my previous broadband deal was ending and used that Sky deal for leverage. Got line rental, unlimited broadband and free basic mobile (SIMO) all for £9.50/mo plus the anytime calls bolt on for an extra £3.75/mo - i.e. ALL my telecoms needs for £13.25/mo.

BT
Basic is a simple, low-cost phone service that is easy to understand
and helps you keep in touch, even if money is a bit tight. If you are on
a low income, BT Basic lets you make and receive calls – and helps you
manage how much you spend.
What do you get with BT Basic + Broadband?
BT Basic + Broadband includes:
broadband with up to 17Mb/s download speed
12GB usage, which typically means you can:
browse the internet for up to 30 hours a month
stream up to ten hours of video a month
download one film (standard definition) and up to ten albums a month.
BT Parental Controls
hot spots access
With
BT Basic + Broadband, that is £9.95 a month.
There
is no connection charge for installing broadband, but there will be a
postage and packaging charge for the BT Home Hub router that is needed
for the broadband to work.
If you go over your broadband usage limit, a charge will apply. BT will email you if you are close to going over the limit.
