Thinkbroadband have some info on O2's forthcoming broadband service which has first rumoured a year ago now!

It seems the mobile operator, who is owned by the Spanish telco Telefonica, is very close to launching their broadband packages with the date for release of the full details of the deals is expected to 15th October 2007.

As you would expect there will be discounted prices for O2 mobile customers and these are thought to be:-

• Up to 8Mbps: £10 per month
• Up to 16Mbps: £12 per month
• Up to 24Mbps: £15 per month

Although firm details are not available is seems that none of the bundles will incur a usage allowance, but will be subject to a fair use policy (FUP) in line with not other 'unlimited' deals. It's though the deals will include a router, McAfee security and anti-virus software, an free-call support line.
