Not if all I hear about Orange is right, it has driven many subscribers to a mental breakdown

You have to commit yourself for two years to an ISP which has an absolutely rotten reputation.

The total you'll pay for the starter package is £337.26, so you're essentially getting two years of broadband for £37

Oh I can see that some will easily be tempted but its a basic starter laptop, my near 2 y/o lappy is a much higher spec.. at least CNet point out "It's a very basic spec that'll have Windows XP creaking along,".

Tie myself up to 2 years of orange with a 2GB per month download limit for £14.99pm? .. 
nah I think I'll pass ty.

Niall O'Keeffe, marketing director of PC World said that the offer shows  the retailer's commitment to supporting Broadband Britain.

Perhaps he doesn't know that it's owned by France Telecom ...bless him !
