Yes, they will be offering the HEAnet/O2 broadband scheme again in September

Just to confirm what TouchingVirus is saying.

Current info:

The HEANET/O2 mobile broadband offer is being renewed for another year. Details are currently being finalised but at this stage it is almost certain that from September 1st, we will have an improved one year contract at €9.99 per month and a rolling 30 day contract of €12.99 per month. With both options a modem + SIM device is available at €20. Please note that for all current and new contracts taken out before September 1st this year the new price will only take effect on the anniversary or renewal of the contract and not from September 1st. So if you are currently thinking of purchasing it would be better to hold off for the moment. More details to follow later next month.

so o2 are risking overselling their service again this year like happened last year after they brought out this student mobile internet deal?

This is pretty good isn't it.

Has there been good report with the 02 mobile broadband?

im...LOST

As far as I know they didn't end it.

I got the student deal there in mid June and I got it for €13 a month and the modem was free.

Does anyone have an updated link to their official page for this deal? The ones linked from last year (including http://www.o2.ie/heanet) go to a 404 of doom. Doom I tells ya!

[edit]
Aha, now it's here.

Does that mean I could sign up for this and quit after a month and get 1 months internet, and a modem for €33?

why would they bar you from the system? have you had the student broadband before and went way over the fair use limits or leave a large bill unpaid? it seems odd thay would bar you from the o2 system? is there something you are not telling us?

nope have a clean sheet for o2,currently headin into second of a college course.i couldnt understand why they wouldnt give a reason for it,seeing as i satisfied the criteria for 3 with the same details!
