£25 a month x 24 months is £600. You can get a much better laptop than the free one offered for that price.

Of course, but you have to obviously also need to include the cost of broadband in the £600!!!! You arent just paying £600 for a laptop:D

I have just phoned AOL to check with them If I order now will they be able to connect me in 4 months time (my contract's end date). I want it in 4 months time to avoid the fee by my current broadband provider (£49.99). She said if I buy now i'll be connected in a couple of weeks. Still not good for me. But I am really tempted to get the laptop but without the fee of £49.99.


She told me you can call back in 4 months time and the offer of free laptop will still be available but she can't guarantee it.

What do you think ppl? will the offer still be available? I was wondering how long did the offer of free laptop with Orange/pc world last? afterall it depends i think on a certain number of laptops they are willing to give out. But who knows what it is?

dude just got for it, i've ordered it but as a new connection for Uni and the leaflet they sent me showing the laptop looks really good, the laptop i reckon will be a good one, at least for surfing the web etc....

I just see it as I pay Tiscali £14.99 at the moment just for broadband, so I'll be paying an extra £10 a month for a laptop and free calls.

I rang with my Mac Code today. Customer Service were very efficient - told me 7-10 days for Broadband to go live, then 2-5 days for wireless digital to activate. After a further 7 days cooling off period the laptop will be sent.
I'm paying less than I was with BT and get a laptop thrown in - I'm happy!

I have the same porblem - £50 to end contract or 3 months notice. Maybe just have to bite the bullet and pay the £50

I thought so - I'd rather buy a laptop independently - £24.99 monthly plus BT landline charge seemed quite a lot compared to my current costs!

I was quoted £24.99 per month for broadband and laptop. On top of that I would have to switch to BT and their line rental charge is on top of this - £31 I think a quarter. Considering that I am paying Talk Talk £80 quarterly for broadband, line rental and calls, over the two years of the 24 month contract I would be paying the extra for the laptop anyway.

I phoned my order through on the 5th but have not recevied myu welcome pack yet
One thing, for all those that keep harping on about paying for the laptop over the 24 months, has everyone forgotten that you are getting broadband, a call plan, a wireless route and a laptop for £19.99 a month? I currently pay £17.99 a month to NTL (now virgin), never been that boterhed about shopping around, but coming to the point that I want a new PC/laptop, so for an extra £2 per month for 24 months (£48) I get a new laptop that is better spec than I have now. Sounds like a good enough deal to me!
