Orange Laptop deal is out of this (PC) World… RSS

Orange have followed BT’s lead in slashing the monthly charge for their broadband services in half for the first three months of a contract. The Orange Broadband Starter, usually costing £14.99 a month is now down to £7.49 for the first 3 months, and Orange Unlimited, costs £9.99 for the first 3 months instead of the usual £19.99.

Orange have also done a deal with computer retailer PC World, which sees those who sign up for a 2-year broadband deal with Orange can qualify for a free laptop worth £300, or choose to knock the equivalent sum off of the price of a more expensive model.

This deal gives punters a 24 month subscription to the Orange Starter Broadband service, which provides an up to 2MB connection and a 2GB per month download limit, not a bad service, but with the slow proliferation of ADSL2+ technology, a 2MB may feel a little bit more than old hat in two years time.

Mind you, if you are after something just to check and send emails and you fancy the look of a laptop in PC World and wouldn’t mind getting a bit of money off, then this isn’t a bad move.

The free laptop on offer has a 15.4″ widescreen, Celeron processor, 256MB of memory and a 40GB hard drive. More details can be found at Orange’s website.

    I saw the PC World / Orange Broadband ad for the first time today. It has to be said that neither the laptop nor the broadband deal are the best. Good for people who don’t want too much, and they do get a free (but basic) laptop
