Free Broadband Was Big News in 2006, This Year it is All About Free Computers
It's fair to say that Redten have taken freebies to new level. Last year saw Talk Talk offer free broadband with their home phone service. Sky and Orange followed suite offering free broadband with their TV and mobile services respectively. We investigate if Redten's offer is as good as it sounds.
You may not have heard of Redten, it's a new name but they are Part of Watford Electronics an established family run business that has been supplying and designing electronics for over 25 years.
Redten is offering three home internet packages and one business package from £19.99 a month through to £24.99 a month. Redten have partnered with BT to provide Internet, probably a sensible choice given the nations biggest broadband provider covers 99.5% of the UK population.
Like BT's current offerings Redten's broadband connection will run at speeds of up to 8Mbs. Redten is offering unlimited downloads, something only available with BT's premium Option 3 package. This means you won't have to stop using your broadband half way through the month if you reach your download limit. This is good news for heavy downloader's of music, video or games.
Redten provide antivirus and antispam software to keep you and your pc safe. There is also 365 day online and phone support plus a three year hardware guarantee for the pc.
So what is the pc like? Surprisingly good, in short. It might not win the hearts of the hard core pc fanatic but for most of the rest of us it should perform more than adequately.
Redten provide the LG RedTen pc with all broadband packages, a machine usually costing around £500. With a 19" LG monitor, Intel Pentium 4 processor 160GB of memory, and 512MB RAM it's not a bad piece of kit. With a DVD writer, graphics card and stereo speakers it will handle the latest games and software titles and is well suited to playing and sharing photo's or video clips. The more expensive Redten broadband packages offer colour printers, scanners and wireless internet.
What's more whilst all packages come with Windows XP there is a free upgrade offered to the new Windows Vista.
The catch, if there is one, is that you are locked into a 3 year contract. If you move house in that period there is a £49.99 reconnection fee.
Is this the best thing since sliced bread? Probably not but it is fair to say that Redten have put together an attractive package that at the very least will have their competitors keeping a close watch.
If you need a new pc and want broadband or to want to switch broadband provider you should certainly add Redten to your short list, at least until broadband and pc's come free with tokens from your breakfast cereal.
