If you already own an Xbox or simply don’t want one, you can opt to claim £150 in bill credit on any of these packages instead, which equates to more than a month’s worth of payments on the 18-month contracts.
Do keep in mind that all these packages will revert to their original price from the 19th month, which is significantly higher than the deal prices. It’s crucial to read the terms and conditions before signing up, as you might want to cancel your subscription after 18 months to avoid a sudden increase in your bill.
It’s also advisable to compare deals before committing to a new broadband or TV package. Providers can sometimes make it difficult to terminate your contracts, and you may not need to switch at all.
While a free Xbox sounds like a great deal, remember that you’re still committing to at least 18 months of monthly payments. There could be a cheaper broadband deal from another provider that better fits your needs and budget.
