Need to get broadband into my flat, wanting to go with o2 as you can do a rolling 30 day contract rather than 12 months etc. Be sort of normal usuage with some downloading and a bit of xbox live for some COD action.
Anyone use them? What are they like? Would "The All Rounder" do for my needs?

Been with them for 2 years or so now, no problems to report really. Were a pain when I moved, was down for about a week or 2 and I work from home so was fucked! Other than that i'd say they've been good.

We've been with them for nearly 3 years now (in two different places) and not had any problems.
Tell a lie - had slight Internet problems, but it was to do with the router we had dying (rather than o2) so we got a new Netgear DGN1000 and it's been great again!

Sounds good! Think I will go with then, however they are stating they want £85 to install a new line but there is already a line as both BT and the Post Office can switch over to it, but I fancy the non contract option of o2.

Phone line reconnection fee with BT is only £30 mate, so may as well go with BT/PO for line and o2 for broadband separately.

Took it out with Quidco £100 cash back 2 years ago when it was £7.50 a month with first 3 months free. So it cost me nothing for the year and actually made some money.
Went to cancel after the 12 months and they said if i moved my home phone to them (was previously paying £12.50 a month with Post Office) for £9.50 a month, they would do the internet for fee for the year.
So technically i have paid them, but its cost me nothing...
