I recently switched broadband providers from BT (crap) to AOL (excellent so far) through a Carphone warehouse deal.
18 months contract with a Free-ish (70 odd quid extra) Toshiba Satellite 149-300 laptop thrown in.
I cannot grumble really, the lappie is absolutely superb, and more than what I really need in terms of RAM and HDD capacity. With Vista Premium installed it is a real gem.
There were a couple of Acer lappies on offer for free, but I declined, and happily paid the extra for something worth its salt.
I did make some sums before signing on the dotted line, and all in all, even with the extra charge, I was well up, compared to my previous BB provider.
Even my techy sons are impressed with it...
