More free broadband from Orange

Now Orange (new owners of Wanadoo) are offering free broadband. It’s essentially the same setup as TalkTalk but more expensive and with a more limited service. If you have a £30 a month mobile contract with Orange you get free broadband with 2GB transfer a month. Although that isn’t as good as £20.99 a month and 40GB that TalkTalk give you, you do still get the £30 a month mobile phone contract so it could still be better for many people.

OF course the advert should be banned for the same reason the TalkTalk advert was banned in theory. Or more correctly, the TalkTalk one should be unbanned…

But only 2GB a month?

    2. 2GB is a silly limit, but then it is still technically Wanadoo, so what do you expect? :P

    The thing is though a lot of people will already have a mobile phone contract of £30 or over per month with Orange and this does mean they now have access to free basic broadband if they want to dabble, so its not that bad really.

    But still, when will the advertising people stop being so strange and start acting consistent!!!

    4. The Orange offer mentioned above is in fact a better deal than the suppposed £20.99 talk talk offer.

    the £30 mobile deal with orange that comes with free broadband means you get a free wireless router and free off peak calls plus of course a new mobile.
    all for £30 NO EXTRAS.

    The talk talk offer of £20.99 only apllies if you live have an LLU exchange which most of the country dont….so guess what??? you pay an extra £9.99 for not being on LLU.

    Talk talk are a bunch of cowboys trying to be an isp and are failing badly.

    6. You can also get wireless unlimited on Orange fo a fiver a month if you have a £30 month contract. Sounds like a bargin to me. Already got Orange broadband so away to get an Orange phone and get it wireless for £5 instead of regular 2GB limited for £18.00.

    7. The orange package is also free for existing customers that have a contract mobile that costs over £30 per mnth, but Like Anna says for and extra fiver you get a New ADSL2 wireless modem and unlimited downloads!
