sse 19-2Y Range Broadband Packages

The 19-2Y range of SSE broadband products

Our fixed term broadband packages, part of the 19-2Y product range, provide access to the internet from a fixed location. They are only available to residential customers with an active phone line. The fixed term contract duration for these products is 24 months.
As noted in the terms and conditions applicable to the use of these products, use of the internet needs to conform to our Acceptable Use Policy and Traffic Management Policy which can be found, along with the terms and conditions, on our website at:
sse.co.uk/help/phone-and-broadband/regulations- broadband
Each of these products come with an unlimited data usage allowance. There are factors which 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-configured 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/regulations-phone and provides useful information on possible additional charges.
Prices
The price of these broadband packages is listed below. If you choose to have your phone line rental with SSE, this will be added to your package and appear on your bill as a separate line item, however a ‘bundle’ discount (equivalent to the line rental value) is also added. This implies that your overall package cost for your broadband will remain the same whether taken with SSE line rental or standalone.

All prices quoted include VAT at 20%, unless otherwise stated. Pricing updates are found on our website at:

Cancellation and early termination charges

The following charges may apply following cancellation of the broadband contract:
If you cancel your broadband order before your service start date, there will be no charge unless you have already received your router and you do not return this to us. When you notify us of your cancellation, we will send you a prepaid postage envelope for the return of the router. Should you not return your router within 30 working days an equipment charge of £54 will be added to your account.
For termination at any point between the broadband service start date and the end of 18th month of the contract there is an early termination charge for every day remaining of the contract.

These charges are not subject to VAT.
These packages are covered by our ‘Happiness Guarantee’ promise, which waives termination charges applicable on your contract if you decide to leave due to dissatisfaction with the broadband service provided by SSE. The ‘Happiness Guarantee’ applies only to the fi rst 60 days of this fi xed term contract. More details can be found on our website, in the broadband regulatory page:
