My first provider was The Free Internet (TFI) and you had to pay a years subscription up front! What made it worse was that we had a DACS BT line so the max connection speed was 28k.
Upgraded my brothers pc last week so fresh windows install etc. He wanted Norton 360 on it despite me trying to convince him to use something else. The speed reduction after installing it was incredible, it turned a perfectly good upgrade into a piece of s**t. As far as he's concerned he would...
You soon get used to dual screens. I tried it just to see what it was like as I had a spare LCD sat doing nothing. Been running a 22" widescreen and a 17" for ages now and couldn't go back to just one screen unless it was bigger than these combined (2960x1050) I can watch a video full screen and...
Just in case you missed the few mentions about OpenOffice here you go again ;)
You can open in .doc format which is what MS Word saves it's documents as and you can also save in .doc format.
OpenOffice is a free office suite.
Once they have you they know it's hard to live without Sky so you'll pay them what they want I guess. Our original install was free, it does take the piss that they seem to value new customers more than existing.
They'd want £20 to move that? f**king hell!
I've actually got one of those although it wasn't called a tv link, can't see how they could justify charging anything. You just unplug it and plug it back in!
I know this would probably be easier just calling them but the last time I did I was in a queue for a good 20mins so I'm trying to do it via email.
All I wanted to know was a fixed price for just a dish and wiring at the house we're moving to. We've been with them a year so have our own box...
OpenOffice will suite most people's needs and as has been mentioned is free.
http://www.openoffice.org as well as open formats it will also open and save in MS formats (*.doc *.xls etc)
Not sure why you'd except a product that you have to pay for to come free with your laptop anyway?
^ Just to add that my BT phone, BB and TV order didn't go through because the site didn't tell me you have to wait 48hrs after activation and can't order in advance which is probably a good thing after finding out how much aerials cost.
Cheers mate, spoke to a nice lady that has put me on the 18 month contract for £62.50. Shame I can't go longer really.
I'm back in 2 minds now over who to go with as I've found out the new place has only got a loft aerial and local aerial companies are quoting me £80+ for a roof aerial. With...
Put in my order last night but it seems to be buggered. The summary page came out with the wrong offer prices and wrong normal prices plus the telephone package wasn't shown, so waiting for them to call me back. Why's nothing ever simple!
Also got to have a BT engineer come out and fit a line...
BT Line rental = £10.50
BT Vision = £9 (TV + Kids)
BT Together Anytime = £7.95
BT Broadband Unlimited = £24.99
Total = £52.44 that's standard price. With discounts in the first 6 months it would be £43.44
If I used Sky for everything except the line rental:
BT Line Rental = £10.50
Sky TV...
How does the on demand stuff work? For example if I subscribed to the TV viewing pack, what would that give me that I wouldn't get on freeview? is it specific programmes that they choose or extra channels?
Trying to decide whether to continue with Sky when we move or go with BT vision.
Has anyone got BT vision? How reliable is the service and box, what do you think of it overall?
Is it possible to get any movie channels?
Is this service via a roof aerial or broadband line?
We...
That AMD bundle is good value, same one I recommended to my brother actually (putting it together for him this weekend) you would notice a massive difference from your current setup.
As for a graphics card it depends on what you want to spend. An 8600GT would be more than adequate for what you...
