Carphone Warehouse are doing similar thing with AO Hell

AOL Broadband at the Carphone Warehouse

Re: Free laptop
 

We pay £30 quid for aol (platinum) which is rediculous however weve had no problems with it for 3-4 years so we havent changed it. However do you think we could get a free laptop from this if we say that we will stop if we dont and carry on if we get one

Im guessing the "catch" is that you have to stay in a 2 year contract with a broadband line that is only up to 2Mb in speed and has a 15GB download/upload limit.

Where as im paying £24.50 for 20Mb and Unlimited downloads but no free laptop.
But the same company do broadband with 8Mb speed and Unlimited downloads
but still only £19.50. So for the additional £4.50 a month you have unlimited amount of things you can download and you can download them 4x as fast :D

I suppose its good if someones in need of a cheap laptop. But I think it might sting you if in a years time broadband suppliers start cutting prices and you're still stuck with another years contract...

Re: Free laptop
 

i suppose it works as a new mobile on contract would, free phone if you sign up

Re: Free laptop
 

Could i unsign then resign again to get the laptop as im paying £30 a month with aol.

Re: Free laptop
 

I don't see why you shouldn't be able too, it says on the site
"Speeds may vary substantially depending on the quality of your phone line and where you live. BT line required, subject to local availability and line survey. Subject to satisfactory credit check. Further conditions apply. Offer not available to existing AOL Broadband customers still in their minimum contract period. Standard laptop delivery charge of £14.99 applies. 24 month contract applies"
As long as your out of your contract period you should qualify

Re: Free laptop
 

Ill just unsign with them and then resign and we do £30 so more then the minumum spend

Re: Free laptop
 

not bad but no phone line rental in my house

Re: Free laptop
 

And whats that got to do with getting a free laptop with signing on to Aol And Orange ? :S

Re: Free laptop
 

Because you've got to have a BT landline :D

Re: Free laptop
 

The one big problem with this is in a survey carried out by computeractive mag it showed Orange to be the worsed isp for reliability and tech help

Re: Free laptop

Re: Free laptop

Re: Free laptop
 

Ok mrjdallen , sorry for jumping the gun before Lol :D

Re: Free laptop
 

its ok, i think you owe me some karma now lol.

think i have just sorted line rental out? so need to find internet provider now. that does their own line rental (on the basic that i have been with them 12months) thinking of tiscalli or talk talk. all i want is the internetand not going to use it for phone calls.

Orange have 'oversold this package, they admit that they cannot supply the demand they have created, I am paying for 8mb download £19.95 pm but only getting 1mb speed their excuse i'm to far away from bt sub station I live 500yards from telephone exchange, there is nothing wrong with their accounting system they are capable of taking your money 'buyer beware'its like having double Vista on your pc my advice if you go ahead take a crash course in urdu you will need it for the 'help lines'
