"Free" home broadband is being launched in the UK by mobile operator O2.
O2 customers who buy a £20-per-month mobile broadband package will receive the "up to" 8Mbps home service free for a year and a wireless router.
The company claims that it is "the first established broadband player to offer customers high speed internet access inside the home and on the move" in a combined package.

The offer is open to people signing up to O2 Mobile Broadband between 1 August and 31 October who live within range of the O2 Home Broadband network. Customers outside the network will get a discount on their chosen plan instead.
O2 will also offer a "broadband in a box" package where people can buy a wireless router and all the kit they need to get O2 home broadband up and running in one box for £30.
Earlier this year Virgin Media announced a free speed upgrade to 10Mbps for some of its broadband users.

If you have any O2 mobile contract, even the £10 per month poverty SIM only deal, and threaten to cancel, they will offer you free 8MBit broadband for the lifetime of the mobile contract to retain your business.
Only gotcha, is you need to be where their Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) is available.
