Hello all Grove Park residents, could anyone please tell me how they have gone about sorting broadband in their flat? I've tried Virgin media and they can't sort this out because the flats aren't compatible for this. I've spoken to Riverside and they have no idea, (which is to be expected) to what is in place to enable connection.
Cheers Chris

We used BT and use Orange Broadband 2mb (as you get it free if you have at least a £30 contract), BT charge around £124.99 to set-up your connection which (I'm afraid) there is absolutely no way around, believe me... we tried!!!

The package and (normal) cost http://www.orange.co.uk/time/broadbandstarter/

The offer http://freebb.orange.co.uk/offerinfo/

BT's charges and rates (look near foot of page QUOTE: Installation fee just £124.99).. I love the 'just' bit Shocked http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayCategory.do?categoryId=CON-NEW-LINE-R1

In addition, I wish Virgin would stop flippin stuffing our boxes/porch area with bloody leaflets
when we can't even sign up... POINTLESS!?!?!

In addition, I wouldn't bother with BT broadband, their speeds are all over the place, shoddy connection and they throttle your download speeds, especially if using a torrent programme.

Oh and what ever you do don't go for that tv package thing they are offering, it's AWFUL!!!... and buggy!
