  • If you are going to be a light user (mainly surfing and e-mail) IDNet has a good 2 meg deal for £14.99 pcm.

    That's a very good router and is also future proofed for when 8 meg connections become much more widely available this year.

    Dunno if its of any interest but.

    AOL is founded on IE as AOL bought code form MS to use as a Browser
    design foundation.. And did you also know AOL bought into Time Warner
    then AOL tried to stop Warner home video thus voiding a part of their contract with Warner so Warner removed AOL from their screenings.

    1, A Time Warner Production

    2, An AOL Time Warner Production.

    3, A Time Warner Production.

    4, AOL got screwed.

    5, Im still laughing.
  • ive seen pcs that had to be reformatted because of aol
  • So no to aol then! I was looking at eclipse but there is a thread just started on the internet forum saying it is really slow. I don't really want to pay to start up broadband so i suppose that limits my choice?
