Geastb 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Due to company relocation and being offered a large sum for redundancy I have to get my PC at home working again (currently using works pc) who is the best valkue for money provider at the moment?Who do you guys recommend I use? Also as i'm going to get a fairly larger payout what should i go for with the tuning mods? I've already got a shrick (to be fitted) but not sure to go s/c or t/c, or go the whole hog and chuck in a R32 lump? Suggestions please?Any suggestions :? Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 well the little play ive had with my turbo, id go for that cos when it kicks in at 3000 revs the noise is just crazy, cant wait to have it mot'd tomorrow and get the tax so i can drive it. gonna be scary.R32 idea sounds good though, dont think theres many mk3 R32's. in the world.

Pittuf 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Dell online are pretty good for pc's.....when i was looking some 3 yrs ago now, mesh were quite highly rated as well.As for mods R32 with turbo ir supercharger sounds good to me :-) Link to post Share on other sites
dub_weiser 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Go with dell as annoying as their sales staff are (call centers in india) you won't find better value for money. I just got mine this week and a very good spec. Engine wise I'd say t/c or s/c as putting a R32 lump in you may as well sell yours and get the real deal coz a conversion will set you back at least £7000, which I find is just not worth it.

acf8181 0 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 wanadoo has been very good to me.and on the original subject, i'd get a dell. Link to post Share on other sites
Flog 1 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 If you ring dell, try and get put through to their sales department in ireland, lot easier to order what you actually want.As for mods, R32, you know you wanna. Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Central Point Broadband is what I use, 1mb, no restrictions for £22.50 a month! you will find it hard to beat! I've had 0 down time since ive had it installed. highy recommended. Dell seem a good choice if you dont want to build a custom bult jobby Link to post Share on other sites

badboyV6 4 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Make sure you dont get capped- theres a limit to what you can download with a lot of the bigger companies, unless you pay a premium. As for PC's Dell are ok, Acer are better value for money (we digress:)) and provide good support. Isnt there a lot of mods need to the VR6 lump for it to accept a turbo?- id love one! Supercharger is probably cheaper. R32 lump....with a turbo mmmmmmmmm Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 we had AOL dial up originally...utter crap.then went from freeserve (as wanadoo was previously known) dial up, to broadband 512k a while ago. they're upgrading us to 1mb this week, for free. Link to post Share on other sites
Pittuf 0 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 i'm with Bulldog and have had no probs with connecting or anything. No limits either. Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 AOL is pants m8- the software feck around with your OS big time and its just annoying- the service aint great either- ive never touched it- nasty! Prefer having a service without one of those silly Broadband dialup USB modems too. Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 If you lived in London you can get a whopping 4Mb connection - Bulldog do it- download some serious ammounts or porn then hey! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 actually, you can get 8mb now for £40 a month Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Don't touch Wanadoo with a bargepole, if ANYTHING goes wrong then you're f*cked as the idiots in their call centre are f*cking morons. I was without broadband for a whole month late last year all because they didn't want to pay for an engineer to come up and fix my line which they were contractually obliged to do, in the end I cancelled my contract with them and went with Pipex who got the problem fixed within 3 days.Then on the 25th November, Wanadoo helped themselves to £83.74 out of my bank account that I STILL have not got back after 15 phone calls and 2 and a half hours worth of being on the phone to them about it.Their connections seem to be alright, but their customer support is by far the worst I've ever experienced, and I've given them next Friday as a deadline before I take legal action against them.Pipex is £33.99 for 1 meg unlimited broadband, not the cheapest, but they'll look after you and make sure you get the best service possible.I've just made myself all angry again.
