Punters who splash out on an Intel Centrino-powered Dell notebook will be able to use BT Openzone free for the first 90 days, a saving of £255.


90 days free service? £255 saving? Looks like 90 days of service costs £255...

Why do BT think they can get away with it when services like this are only just round the corner?!

Sunshine will quickly expand to cover the East Midlands and East Anglia, with a national service available by the end of 2005.

OMG :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

National as in countrywide!!!!!!! 54mbs links for the whole country by 2005!!!!!!!!!! :spin: :spin: :spin:

imagine the speeds on that! 54mbps...

NTL WILL have HUGE problems if this is a success....saying that, all other ISP's will have huge problems!
