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?

Re: Broadband Hardware Trial 2015
I mostly remember the weirdly-shaped remote control. It looked like a shoe.

Re: Broadband Hardware Trial 2015
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. 
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!

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 !

Re: 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.
