Freeserve bundle in broadband land

Posted on 4 Oct 2002 at 14:50

Freeserve and PC World have teamed up to offer cheap broandband, for a bit

Customers buying an emachine computer from PC World, can tap into a special deal from Freeserve, bundling in the modem and microfilter for free and giving them broadband access for £19.99 a month for half a year, and £29.99 inc VAT thereafter.

The Freeserve broadband package is the same as the self-install £84.99 boxed product you can already buy in PC world, the only difference being that you don't have to pay for the hardware. You also don't have to pay the £65 activation fee - in all leaving you better off to the tune of nearly £150.

The cheapest emachines start at around the £800 mark, and the Freeserve deal comes with a minimum one year contract.

The offer should help both companies cash in on the Christmas PC sales, although it is due to run out on 22 October, but Freeserve told us 'This is the initial trial period of the offer and there will be further details to follow'.

Freeserve is also extending its 'free connection' offer for its standalone product until the end of the year: you get the set-up fee waived but pay the standard £29.99 rate.
