Jusoda Kid 1 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Any of you wireless?, if so what router and usb adaptor are you using, best price if possible. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler's Mom 0 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Linksys router and a Belkin card. Don't bother with a Belkin router though. I had to take a couple back because they overheated. You should be able to get a deal for a router and adapter at PC World for around £50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46180 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Blueyonder is the best broadband around like. Except they don't do it in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46180 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 If you're buying from PC World ALWAYS look on their website first for what you want. I've bought things from there that were £120 if you just went to the shop for them, but £80 if you paid for them online to pick up instore. You just pay for them online and then you have to wait an hour before you can go to the shop and get them. Tip from the top! Also re Telewest - I see they've introduced their version of Sky + (TVDrive). Anyone got it and if so is it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) These prics should wear masks, they're already getting £75 a month out of me for the phone, tv, net & that teleport shit and now they want more, oh! but they'll install it free if i keep my existing box in another room for a fiver a month, i bet you fucking will. Well I've got news for them, I'm already wired up for an extra box and that said (chipped box) is on fucking order, so screw you! Be ringing them fuckas today.

Gemmill 46180 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Ring and tell them you're shifting to Sky man. They'll sharp find a special deal to put you on - point out their current introductory deals and say you want some of that to stay with them. I'm gonna do the same with Sky (half price for 3 months is their current effort for new customers whilst the old ones get fleeced). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Me think me gets it wrong somewhere. Im paying BT for BB and phone at around £40 a month and Sky around £45 a month plus Sky Box Office at around £10 a month. Also been considering Sky + but they want £150 for the box and £10 a month more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Seriously, £45 a month on TV, is that not exessive? It's more than I pay for ANY amenity. Is TV more valuable than water? What do sky offer that could possibly be worth nigh on £600 a year? Every show on there is available on DVD and would come in for less than that. It can only be worth it for the sport, but even then, Skysports news is free anyway. Aren't you better off spending the money in the pub and letting them pay for Sky?

Gemmill 46180 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Just rang Sky, threatened to leave and join Telewest and they've given me 3 months at half price (£18 a month instead of £36), and told me to ring back in 2 months and they'll see what they can do for me again. 0870 8502801 is the cancellations number and it takes 5 minutes - their arse goes pretty much straight away - if anyone fancies it.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I've got a BT phone package which is very reasonable, Tiscali broadband (no probs at £14.99 p/m) and a freeview box. Nothing to complain about really except itv have taken Men & Motors off the freeview channels and replaced it with some shite called itv play.
