any teachers out there?

Hi

If any of you guys are teachers Home Choice might have a bit of a good deal for you!!

My boyfriend and another housemate work as primary school teachers and homechoice are giving us free broadband and free digital TV until 2008 in exchange for them monitoring what we watch on TV. Basically its a Mori research thing, we wont notice it or anything, we just get the free stuff and they get their research stats!!!

Cant wait for it to start.... Internet at home will be so much easier than sneakily looking at it at work!!

    When we lived in London, I had Homechoice, the service wasn't all that hot but I really miss the VOD. I'd definitley subscribe again if I could get it here.
    When I had my loft converted back into a loft, the neighbours came around and scoffed, and called me retro.

    Tiscali bought Homechoice a couple of months ago or something like that but Homechoice have all their own infrastructure in place apart from Tiscali. They are due to merge sometime about December but the service from Homechoice at the moment anyway, is operated separately as they haven't had time to merge up the systems yet.

    if you do check on https://www.adslguide.org you'll see that the comments about the Homechoice service are positive..

    Same here - being in Yorkshire looks like it's no good for me.
