BT's broadband take-up set to take off with special flights offer
BT is set to leave competitors grounded with its latest broadband
offer - fantastic flight offer to the US or Europe for all new
consumer Broadband customers.
Customers signing up to any of the Broadband from BT family of
consumer products in the next six weeks can get a return flight to a
host of popular holiday destinations - Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels,
Nice, Paris, Prague, Atlanta, Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
Washington.
The tickets take the form of a flight voucher which customers can
either redeem themselves, or pass on to a friend or family member.
But customers have got to move fast. This deal is available for a
limited time only - from May 10 to June 20, 2004.
Duncan Ingram, managing director, BT Openworld, said: "This is yet
another example of BT taking the lead in the market to drive broadband
uptake and make Broadband Britain a reality.
"We think it is a fantastic deal for our customers and one that we
feel will entice customers to BT instead of our competitors.
"For anybody who may have been recently thinking about installing
broadband in their home, now is the time. Broadband from BT is more
than just about speed, it's about the ability to download and share
music, videos, films, play games online with friends across the world
and build both national and international communities. There's a world
of possibilities out there. The flight offer is just the icing on the
cake."
