Orange at half price!

Hey people! Don’t get confused by this statement. I’ve lately read that Orange Broadband is now half price for the first three months on any new broadband contract. ( That’s Great!! Ehh?).

This means that you can sign up for Orange Home Starter (2Mb speeds and 6GB monthly dowloads) and pay just £6 per month… or even join Home Max (8Mb speeds and unlimited downloads) for £12 per month!! (Whooshhh)

However, prices will rise after the initial three month discount, but they remain competitive (Home Starter and Home Max at £12 and £24 per month respectively).
Interestingly, Orange Home Max also comes with a free Livebox - which means you’ll have wireless connectivity throughout your home (Just like I’d want it to be).



Web 3.0!! Also, known as “The Semantic Era”

As you know that Web 2.0 applications continue to dominate user’s time and investments in 2008, I’ve read about Web 3.0 and what it holds in store for the future of web development and it seems there will be four very important milestones reached.

Portable Web Traditional websites are designed with the intention of being viewed by users accessing them with desktop PCs and standard GUIs. With the evolution of Web 3.0, websites are no longer confined to the screens of a desktop computer but are also accessible via mobile devices such as mobile phones, iPods, Blackberry’s, IPTVs.

Isn’t this cool??

Thinking of taking a Broadband speed test???

If you’re frustrated with the speed of your Internet connection and thinking about changing your broadband provider, don’t worry! You just need to run a quick and simple test to find out how your connection measures up. You can start this by clicking here

When you click the Start button, they’ll send some test data down the line and check how long it takes to reach you. To increase the accuracy, run the test more than once and average the results.

Let me know if this worked for you??

Are you getting massive mobile bills??

Listen to this interesting news. A couple recently received a phone bill for over £11000. They weren’t really sure about their phone contract and downloaded four episodes of Friends via their mobile phone.

Their service provider was Vodafone and they used an “unlimited” phone broadband package. The couple failed to realize was that the downloads were only free while in the UK. Sadly, while they were downloading it from their home in the UK, the husband took the phone to Germany on business, and downloaded a further 2,600MB at a rate of £4.50 per megabyte, Whoa!! Ofcom is expected to investigate the fee, however Vodafone has said that customers were informed of all charges, before they exceeded their download limit.
