PC World is to start flogging broadband ADSL services from Freeserve directly to punters.

From today, 48 PC World outlets throughout Britain will start touting FreeservePlus to home and business users.

The broadband service costs £39.99 a month.

According to Freeserve, this is the first widespread retail rollout of ADSL in the UK by an Internet service and retail chain.

Indeed, the network of retailers should provide a decent shop window for the super fast technology.

PC World and Freeserve are part of the part of the Dixons Stores Group. ®
