Redten Internet have announced a new deal for £20 per month,you will get a LG Pentium 4.3GHz PC and 19 inch LCD monitor and 'up to 8Mbps' broadband service.
You become tied in to the service for a three year contract, after which you either cancel, in which case the PC is taken away or you continue in which case Redten say they'll upgrade the PC.
As with all packages like this, you may not get the full 8Mbps, but that's mainly down to BT and the quality of your cabling, distance from the exchange, and so on. Redten say they'll upgrade customers to a 24Mbps service when the technology allows it,again that's likely down to BT to sort out.
There's also ongoing customer support thrown in, and a free upgrade to Vista when it comes out.

so its not really a free pc... they're just loaning it to you
its ok I suppose if you don't want to pay for a pc but want fast internet access, but 3 years is a long time in the pc world.
good for low income earners though so can't fault it there

Well not exactly,although the contract you sign is for a period of 3 years the PC remains yours for the duration of that term,and upgraded to a higher spec PC once expired.
Don't know why they say its a FREE pc when its clearly not.

Guess i must have missed that somehow....It makes sense now,why would they offer a FREE PC if they were to loan it.

for 28 quid a month you can get up to 8mb bb and free national calls 24/7 up to 75 mins per call, and then you jus hang up and redial. that also includes your line rental which means you wont have to pay BT a penny. also if you are in a LLU area, this same service costs only 19.99 a month.
im not just bigging it up because i work for the company but it is actually really good value.
