Sse Broadband Offer

[brainiac]

Has anybody taken up the current SSE offer of free broadband for two years if you sign up to take them as land-line provider at £12 a month? Seems like a great deal, but I'm sure their must be a catch.....Is there a small download limit, and do they tell you how much broadband will be after the deal finishes?

Is there a small download limit

According to MonoySavingExpert: Unlimited downloads with speeds of up to 17Mbps. SSE, like other broadband providers, uses traffic shaping at peak times, which means it may cut the speed of your connection when there's heavy traffic, giving different types of traffic different levels of priority.

do they tell you how much broadband will be after the deal finishes?

When the initial 12- or 18-month line rental contract ends, SSE says you'll continue to get free broadband for the remainder of the 24-month period, while your line rental will also continue without you needing to sign a new contract.

MoneySavingExpert asked SSE if the line rental would still cost £12/month once the initial contract period ended, but it told them it was impossible to say.
