It was pretty obvious feature on the box. Never used of course but I'm sure I remember it even being touted as a new way to do online shopping by Telewest.

Anyone remember the keyboards? :)

I mostly remember the weirdly-shaped remote control. It looked like a shoe.

Ah, Mondex! Late 1990's, sort-of a pre-pay card; load some value to it from your account, then pay for small-ticket items without fiddling with signatures, PINs or online Bank authorisations. Some people thought it was the future of payment technology.

Just goes to show how wrong they were.:D:D

It was a nice try though.

edit Just had a thought, basically it was a pre-paid credit card which is still available at a cost. The joys of corperate policy. Screw the customer for what they can get out of them!

Still a bit vague, all it said was after Friday.

It required special dedicated terminals somewhere to load and manage the card, and more in-store to accept payments. It was slow to use to pay for anything. It had no chance.

Anyway, back to Broadband Hardware Trial 2015 !

Received the Trial email that I was selected but not heard anything after with delivery or "we haven't forgotten you" or access to the trial forums.

Guess I was removed without notice.

Hope the testing is going well though...

Maybe you're in a different wave of testers, the 2nd set of guinea pigs still havent got their kit.

You should contact someone on rhe VM forum to check.
