Does this website use postcode lottery??

OK folks, in another thread I was recommended the website http://www.appliancesonline.co.uk but upon browsing I noticed something strange.

For starters, I'm on TalkTalk broadband, so on a regular basis my connection drops out. Sometimes the router that TalkTalk provided needs restarting. (I think it's dying actually.)

As I was browsing the website, my connection would drop. When I return, the prices on items have drastically changed up or down by as much as £100.

I've basically got my eye on a Hotpoint AQM8G29IV. I've seen the price of it rise to as much as £500, and down to almost £400 within an half-hour.

Is the site picking up that my IP has changed, and thus I'm supposedly in a different area of the country, and thus changes the prices?

I now the prices, even at almost £500 is still £100 cheaper than everywhere else, but the rapid and large variations in prices is confusing.

Does anyone know if appliancesonline is doing a postcode lottery like most other companies?

I am sure there is a much bigger thread somewhere with complaints about goods not being in stock, but taking orders anyway, but I can't find it at the moment.

Sorry, a slight typo. I meant AQM8F29IV. I pressed G instead of F. Sorry.

It sounds like a 50/50 chance of a problem with the company. I don't like those odds.
