    I know I'm the same I'm usually ok with setting things up but I'm always worried that I'm not going to be able to do it lol! I got my hub on Monday too but I haven't looked at it properly yet. I was expecting my laptop tomorrow because they told me on the phone that it would arrive about 3 days after my hub but now maybe I won't get it until next Friday if they've told you that :(


    Hi,

    I think I put that wrong! it's five working days after you sign up, then lap top with in 5 working days. If you signed up around the same time as me (for some reason I think you did? I signed up monday last week) then tomorrow is the last of the 5 working days for them to deliver the laptop. Unless you signed up this week, then it would be next friday.

    Mine arrived today, it looks nice but I haven't set it up yet, I've been doing housework :confused:

    I ordered on the 4th September

    I had a letter from AOL on the 6th asking for my MAC code even though I had given it to them a week earlier

    I received my router about two weeks later, will have to find the date from an earlier post I made.

    No laptop received

    This is definately going to be top of the list for upgrades. Very cheap, too. Great find, mk-donald.
