Is the future bright if it's Orange??

does anybody have anything good to say about the Orange livebox.
Is it a good deal?
Does it do what it "says on the tin"?
I am thinking of getting it but am having pproblems with new pc and vista and Orange combined. Orange not ready for vista yet!!

I don't want to be saddled with livebox if it isn't up to scratch.

Any replies would be welcome.

I'm pleased with mine. Works well as a router giving good coverage. Looks quite stylish, and you can use your additional phone line without your pc being plugged in. (You do get an 0845 number though so people won't want to call you on it!). I've got the 'max' package which gives me free international calls as well as in the uk and the quality is great.
I did notice on the orange website though that they can't provide support for vista yet. My experience of their support is that it isn't up to much in general though when the system's working well, (and mine always has done apart from one fairly major glitch!) you don't need someone asking you daft questions like have you checked your password! (at expensive 0870 rates too!)
