O2 Broadband

O2 offer one of the strongest phone line broadband services on the market. By using advanced ADSL2+ technology they can provide speeds of up to 18Mbps, which is far greater than many other non-fibre-optic providers.

Although very well priced to start with, if you are an O2 mobile phone customer (Contract or PAYG) then you will receive a £5 discount per month on the standard tariffs.

Why O2?

  • Up to 18Mb download speeds and 2.5Mb upload speeds
  • Contracts from 30 days
  • Some deals allow you to download as much as you want (fair usage policy applies)
  • Free connection for O2 mobile customers on 12 month contracts
  • Free 24/7 UK based customer support
  • Free McAfee Security Software
  • Free wireless router will all deals
  • Extremely competitive Home Phone plans available with line rental included
  • 30 day happiness guarantee
  • Optional line rental considerably cheaper than BT available with broadband deals

Customer Reviews

Been with them for quite a few years and, even when problems rarely do occur, the custom service has been very helpful. Reliable, slows during peak times but generally faultless.

Austin - Nth London

O2's strong point, in my experience, is their customer service. I've been lied to by Talktalk and messed around for years by Tiscali; switching to O2 is like returning to sanity after being mentally ill. They're not just sane, they're positively helpful, pleasant and professional. OK speed could be a bit higher - I get around 12Mb approx 1.5 miles from exchange - but service has never been interrupted in nearly 3 years, and I don't get any trouble over usage - and I certainly watch a lot of TV via iPlayer, 4OD etc. My kids are online gamers too, and appreciate the consistent service. I just hope O2 get into fibre soon, I don't want to switch away from the best customer service I've ever had, not just from an ISP, from anything.

John Machin - North London

Great speeds when 1st joined 02.Last 12 months between 34kbps and 3Mb.Nearly always under 2Mb.
Dont download music,movies etc.Dont play games.Paying £14.50 for this.Should have changed months ago about to do so now
