Only if you use Google and write IT in capitals. Otherwise it shows further down.

Got my card today so have ordered from Positive IT. Have also ordered Office from software4students as it was only £39 and I think it will be money well spent as the kids may need to know how to use it later in life.

Finally got my card and pin, so have ordered from positive IT. He was very honest and said that they are inundated at the moment, so the earliest we will get it is 5 days but could be longer. I much prefer when they are honest like that! My son is going to be so excited. My younger one is autistic, and and has just been awarded a 12 foot trampoline from the Family Fund,which comes on monday,so I am so grateful for the help my two boys have been given this week,they will both be delighted.

Writing IT in non capitals moves the position from 2nd on the list to 3rd. I still can't believe bgirl couldn't see it

No, it does not matter but when the link was given out several times already and you can get the answer yourself in 5 seconds via a Google search, it makes sense to just do the quickiest option.

I just set up broadband with the THREE USB dongle and I am getting a signal strength of 1 bar and a connection speed of approximately 0.3mb (250+ ping). I plugged in the USB wire adapter thingy and it made no difference and I also tried different rooms in my home. The internet is unuseable like this as it also keeps disconnecting, how poor. Is there a way I can use my wireless router to boost the signal? I want to keep my Virgin Broadband and THREE 3G connection separate using the same router... is this possible?
