Purchase broadband

Happy new year to the community

I have a elderly relative who hasn’t got any broadband installed in their home.

Would it be possible for me to purchase a basic broadband package and set up in my name and pay the monthly charge?

Any advise/help would be appreciated.

Thanks

it may be cheaper if relative qualifies for Home Essentials you set up in their name but you pay the DD

Yes that would be possible as long as your relative is happy to have it installed.

If the relative meets the criteria he/she may be eligible for BT Home Essentials broadband so it may be worth making him/her the account holder and you can be the bill payer.
