O2 Prepay customers will be jumping up and down with glee today as they get the news they've been waiting for. No, iPhones aren't being given away for free, but O2 Broadband might as well be.

Since O2 entered the broadband world it has been offering O2 Pay Monthly mobile customers a hefty discount on its 8Mb, 16Mb and 20Mb broadband packages.

Well, now O2 is giving this benefit away to Prepay mobile users too.

Cheaper and fast

This leaves all O2 mobile customers eligible for the following prices:

• O2 Broadband Standard up to 8 Mb - £7.50 per month
• O2 Broadband Premium up to 16 Mb - £10 per month
• O2 Broadband Ultimate up to 20 Mb - £15 per month

All O2 Broadband connections come with unlimited downloads, free connection, free O2 wireless box and free 24/7 customer service.

Non-O2 customers pay £5 per month more than these prices but still get very good value for money.

Very few catches

In order to qualify for the discount, O2 Prepay customers will have to sign a 12 month O2 Broadband contract and top-up their mobiles by a minimum £10 once every 3 months.

That's just 50p a week.

If you don't top-up then O2 Broadband will charge the normal monthly price.

Happily, O2 says that Prepay customers already with O2 Broadband will have the discount automatically applied to their account.

A bright future

Whether this move has been planned for a while or is a recent development we can’t be sure but what we do know is that it is the latest in what seems like a tit-for-tat price war amongst the big broadband providers.

Only recently the likes of Orange, Virgin Media and Tiscali have all slashed broadband prices in a bid to win extra custom.

With this offer O2 Broadband is showing that they mean business and are looking to establish themselves as one of the UK’s best broadband providers.
