It's not clear whether they mean that someone who ordered broadband last month, and now decides to take this option up will end up with a 23 month contract, or whether they just have to commit to 12 months from now, but I thought I'd highlight it as another example of a DSL provider offering a bargain in return for a contract extension (and €50 for a wireless router sounds like a pretty good deal to me).
