24 months @ £20 a month = £480.

Laptop = £400.

Obviously, they won't be that price for CPW, but still - how much of the profit on this broadband deal is going to be eaten up in laptops? It's not like they're going to retain many customers with their current level of amazingly crap service.

Emmm...........

Hmm..

Says a lot about the build quality and general cost spent no the Dell laptop, if they can be given away, I wonder how much money Dell see from the deal.

I can't imagine a Thinkpad being included in a deal like this.

That's old hat

A few years ago, Best Buy was giving away (crap, bottom of the line) HP desktops with a 2 year AOL membership. So CompUSA joined the fray with (crap, bottom of the line) Compaqs (pre merger) for two years with Earthlink.

They "sold" them to punters (thanks Brits) during Christmas. Never saw the offer again.

Unfortunatly being an Orange broadband subscriber I could not take advantage of the PC World offer. But I'm ready to move, but not to AOL at any cost. I'm hopping the rest of this dismal industry takes the bate, and starts offering similar offers, it sure to backfire. So bring it on. Who are we going to see first on the BBC's watchdog program!
