Re: .... Erm ...

When they say free laptop they are talking about the IE systems 3101. Not the best laptop on the planet, but we are talking about a 'starter package'

The £69.99 charge is for a laptop that retails for £429.99, to me that sounds like a pretty good discount and is worth more to the customer than the £300 laptop for free. Infact they appear to be offering minimum £300 discount on any laptop you choose.

Oh .. and the 2Gb per month limit is for the 2Mbit connection. The 8Mbit connection is unlimited downloads (fair use policy applies)

Even if it is a 2 year tie-in, I think it's a pretty good deal. Perhaps those who posted before me should have had a closer look.
