    Just read the t&C's and if you don't stick with the conditions they will come and take your fridge away...so it's not yours until end of trial I guess...anyone?
    So if you stop your broadband you could lose your fridge?

    just one query. it says you have to have a spare socket within 1m of your router (to plug the fridge into?). do many people have their router in the kitchen, or are you all planning on just putting the fridge in the room where you router is?

    They use the socket and the the electrical wiring as a network. As the router is just about always powered there will be an electrical socket within 1 metre. The ethernet cable they have must be only 1 metre in length.

    It's not wireless as such. It uses wires but they are already in your house as the electrical wiring.

    The router should always be next to the master BT socket and then it will be plugged in somewhere. The thing they plug in must be straight onto the wall for the best connection to the fridge. You can't use an extension socket. Don't worry too much about it they'll figure it out.

    that happened for me, went back to look at the form and it wanted showed up in red where I had missed an answer, ie I dont have Gas so I didnt put a gas supplier, but it wanted me to put 'other' and then I had to write we had oil


    Also if you don't click "none of these" if your not on benefits. This one does not highlight either.
