O2 UK Launches Converged 3G, Wi-Fi and Home Broadband Package

O2 UK has launched a combined mobile broadband package which also includes home internet access as well as Wi-Fi services. Customers that purchase O2 Mobile Broadband for £20 (US$40) per month (which includes 3GB of data and unlimited Wi-Fi) will receive O2Ã's Home Broadband standard package service for free for a year.

Customers can either get a free 3G USB dongle by signing up for 18 months (and hence locked into paying for six months of home access) or pay £99 for the USB dongle and have no commitment.

The joint offer is available for customers signing up to O2 Mobile Broadband between 1 August and 31 October 2008 who live within the O2 Home Broadband network - approximately 60% of the UK population.

"Whether our customers are watching a video or playing a game online at home, or browsing the internet on their laptop while on the move, our combined Broadband package is the perfect combination to help them stay connected wherever they are," said Sally Cowdry, marketing director, O2 UK.

The company also launched a "broadband in a box" package which it will sell via retail outlets.
