sse 19OC Range of Non Fixed Term Broadband Packages
The 19OC range of SSE broadband products
Our non-fixed term broadband packages, part of the 19OC
product range, provide access to the internet from a fixed location. They are
only available to domestic customers with an active phone line. Each of these
products come with an unlimited data usage allowance. There are factors that
could affect the speed of data transfer and hence the amount of data that can
be downloaded/uploaded on any given day, such as your maximum line speed as
well as network capacity. Adverse weather conditions, internal wiring,
electrical interferences, network congestion and technical restrictions of
your browsing device may all affect the download/upload speed and are beyond
our control. A personalized download speed estimate for broadband at the
property is provided before the point of sale, but this estimate remains a
guideline as the actual speed will always be affected by the factors
highlighted above. To enable the connection, we provide a pre-confi gured
self-install wireless router that will connect to our network with minimal
effort. An engineer appointment at the customer’s premises may sometimes be
required; if this is the case a quotation for any specific/additional charges
would be provided prior to arranging the appointment. Our ‘Guide to
Engineering Works and Equipment’ can be found at sse.co.uk/help/phone-and-
broadband/ and provides useful
information on possible additional charges.
