Maybe dial-up would be better.

It would certainly, at times, be faster than Option 1 which in certain circumstances is throttled down to 50Kbps [ie dial-up speed].

Oh dear.... So i missed the gigabyte offer, missed the special router upgrade AND only hope to get the single cashback from Quidco. Still it could be worse - I might have bricked the router while trying to get Routertech on it. Oh no hang on.....

.... but only on p2p and Usenet. See http://kitz.co.uk/isp/plusnet_shaping.htm

A good site, but the download servers list is now out of date since the 15th January.

No harm in pointing out the limitations of any pack but it is also reasonable to point out the merits.

The requirement is as I understand it is and I quote "He will only need it for very light browsing and email use." It is my understanding that is exactly what this pack is designed to provide so your advice that dial up would be better ( it would tie up the phone line you know) is rather poor advice IMO.

We should always try to give advice that meets the posters needs and not be blinkered by our own perceptions.

The fact that it is a business line is a different issue.

According to this link, "The Quidco offer runs from January 23, 2009 to January 30, 2009 while the Uswitch offer runs till January 28, 2009".
