Free Broadband

Well since i changed my phone package with Orange i get free Broadband for life with it, only problem being i live to far away from the exchange to get decent connection speed, only up to 512kbs. It is free though so it will let me get emails and look on the interweb when at home, will see how much lag i get when i connect the Xbox, not to fussed about speed as it is free and to get a good connection at the house i would have to use an infer-red line of sight to the local business park which would cost £30 a month, bugger that free Orange Livebox thanks, slow but free.

Did i say it was free at all? :)

You have limitations on the amount you can download mind.

Put it this way my traffic for this month is already at 23meg and all that is is Xbox and Emails.

i have up to 2gb, which is more than enough for me sparks, will not be playing and leaving the xbox on all day like some :)

Benji said...

oh and it is free

How much do you have to spend on your orange phone a month to get it free?

That would be a bonus since my orange phone contract is crud, my phone is rubbish, (but it looks nice) - only 4 months till I can change it!

It would be nice to get something back off them, tho i'd have to get a computer first!

I got the Racoon £30 package, but if you go to the site you can see which packages give you free broadband, i think it has to be a contract £30 or more, but you can get unlimited text and other stuff for that price.

Amy G said...

I checked but apparently it's only on 18 month packages and mine is a 12. Oh well.

Sparks said...

Believe me 2 Gb isnt even 30 Mins on Halo or GRAW.

Sparks said...

I shifted 2Gb while on the toilet last night

Sparks said...

Its still good its free but then again is it?????

I pay £17 a month for my boradband... 16mb unlimited.
I pay £15 a month for my mobile 1000 mins 1000 texts.
------------
Total £32

Pay £2 more a month.

I had 1000 mins with my last orange contract but they weren't giving away 1000 texts!!

Bad things about 3....
3 service is crappy outside main motorways.
No Free cinema tickets
Phones are a bit pump.

Good things about 3...

It works
Porn on your mobile... Including Spice Platinum TV Ace!
You can even get Corrie and Eastenders if you are a girl and that way inclined.

Sparks said...

Oh and they dont charge you to call your answerphone. Orange do.

Amy G said...

I always thought it was free to call your answerphone on orange! What a rip off.

I've got a Razr (the girly pink one) but i can't wait to get rid of it, i love the look of it but i find it hard to text cos it's so wide. Plus i can't make videos on mine (can you on 3??) or watch ones i've been sent even though there is a video option. Plus it always crashes, i open it up and the screen is all white. Crap really.

JP said...

Hmmmm, you can't make video's on your mobile hey? What would a person want that for? Is it the same reason people used to have polaroids? So they didn't have to take the dodgy film to the developers :)

Amy G said...

Hah! The thought had never crossed my mind ;)

Sparks said...

Yeh can make video's.

Update your phone driver.... plug in your data cable and goto Mortorola.com and put the updates on your phone.
