Advantages: Oh so many
Disadvantages: Muscle strain

...tiring but it's more about timing than actual speed of controller movement. Trampolining is excellent fun as you're required to perform various tricks on which you're graded. Fencing is easy once you get the hang of it as is the table tennis. Unlockables: There's probably some hidden ones that I've not found yet and I don't mind being corrected so feel free to let me know but I've managed to unlock pole vault, rowing, archery, high jump, various 400m running ones that I don't like, vault and many 'dream' events which are basically normal events but with an exciting twist. The basic instructions for each event can be found in the manual but luckily for me as I'm too lazy to read, the kind people of Wii tell you which buttons to press at each point in the event. Some events do require both the remote and the numchuck and it's better...

Review of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

A Cheap ISP

Advantages: Cheap with Free technical advice No yearly contract
Disadvantages: None found so far

...I have been using ISP's for the past 3 years and have certainly noticed the price's are increasing and speed's are slowing down. I therefore decided to "shop around" for a faster connection speed and a cheaper price. After surfing the web I found a few that were cheaper than our current provider (Freeserve) but these companies tended to have a 12 month contract clause. When I asked if they would guarantee a higher speed than I was recieving they replied NO!! We had been with Freeserve for over two years and the connection speed was decreasing as the months went by. Unfortunately we were in an area that could not get the maximum speed but in the early months of our time with Freeserve we were getting a conection speed of between 37 and 40 kbps so were happy enough. However in the last 6 months they had been changing there connection...

Review of Highstream ISP

Tesco is a brilliant newcomer to the ISP market

Advantages: User friendly and very reliable. Three Tariffs to choose from Anytime, Daytime and PayAsYouGo.
Disadvantages: You get cut off automatically after ten minutes of 'inactivity' online, with no warning!

...To start with, don't spend money buying their disc at the checkout and don't be put off by that! Ask for one online or ring them. They respond at once, the information arrives pronto and saves you 50p! You can always ask your local store to ring up for you and get one sent!! I nearly didn't research them, as I object to paying to simply try something out, but I was really pleased that I got the disc and I was very pleasantly surprised at the difference between their service and f.e. AOL or even Freeserve. They do not have a free help number, but they do answer very quickly and they are helpful and don't waste your phone bill - mind you, I doubt you will need to use the Helpline for Tech support, as the service is good. If you do get a problem, they respond quickly and politely. Tesco.net is a good ISP for anyone who is not...

Review of Tesco.net ISP

Pros and Cons of Tesco ISP.

Advantages: Cheap & Easy
Disadvantages: Few.

...I joined Tesco's ISP because I moved from a Telewest area to a none Telewest or NTL area :( I wanted the cheapest ISP around because I wanted value for money. I currently use the Anytime tariff and have been a customer for 4 months. Tesco ISP comes with three tariffs, £12.99 for Anytime..(with NO restrictions of how many hours you can be online ...unlike BT). Pay as you go, from 1p per minute (or cheaper if you add the number to your BT friends and family), and Daytime 2am - 4pm for £5.99 a month.(I'm 99% sure this includes weekends too). Tesco are currently doing 2 months free with anytime, and you are under no obligation to stay with them. If you do stay, you are billed via a credit or debit card at the end of your month ..but please check which cards are accepted, Visa Electron, and American Express are currently not...

Review of No Jacket Required - Phil Collins

Excellent value for money ISP

Advantages: cheap, reliable, excellent service staff
Disadvantages: 50p per min helpdesk

...I have been with Tesco.net for 5 months now. I ordered their ISP access cd when I was working abroad and it had arrived when I had arrived back home a week later. It was a cinch (sp?) to install, and the fact that I had previously been using and had uninstalled another ISP (freeserve) didn't provide many problems. I am on Tesco anytime which costs me £12.99 a month direct debit. I found this to be one of the cheapest ones around, and as someone who could not really afford paying Broadband prices, think it is an excellent deal. You get 15mb of free webspace Webmail (so you can access your email abroad) 5 email addresses The only con that I have found is that the helpdesk costs 50p a min. However, when I did have a tecnical problem due to the remains of Freeserves Outlook programme, I was very pleased with the fact that my...

Review of Tesco.net ISP

require some more

Advantages: good processor
Disadvantages: average graphics memory and RAM

.... Internal storage is 160 GB, with one preinstalled hard disk drive. Graphics memory is lightly old aged with Intel GMA 3100 Dynamic Video Memory Technology 4.0 and there is about 256 MB of shared memory with RAM. My experience and opinions ****************************** I like this PC for some reasons but I also don't like this as some other reasons. Let's have some good point of my choice. This computer has comparatively light weight and that is suitable if I want to move it for other locations. I always require heavy processor my heavy graphics work so that multicore processor with fast clock speed is my requirement. This computer is giving me these all features. I had some problems with this PC in using 3ds max and it is all due to graphics memory and slower RAM. When I upgraded it to 4 GB than also problems persists. The main solution...

Metronet - worst ISP ever?

Advantages: non
Disadvantages: 0% customer service, rude and incompetent

...Metronet used to be a breath of fresh air. But since they were taken over by PlusNet the service has vanished. the 24/7 helpline always has the standard responce that all operators are busy and to call back later. 3 Weeks ago they cut of my main business line by mistake, the will not refund my connect fee, they are still using my credit card to debit the account and there 'ticket' system on the website is being ignored. Whats worse is that they have not disconected the line fully making it impossible to connect to anouther ISP. Even BT wholesale (who handle all connections) cannot remove it without Metronets say so. After getting a ticket answered (their online system of communication) i was told that they are an inbound call centre and cannot make outgoing calls. They also dont accept incomming calls???!!?!?!?!? So to sum...

Review of Metronet.co.uk (Broadband ISP)

Connect25 Another New ISP

Advantages: Cheap annual fee
Disadvantages: Unknown ease and speed of connection

...Connect25 is a new ISP which I have just seen advertised in Computer Active today. The advertisement itself suggests that the joining fee is a one off payment of £25. However on connecting to the site, connect25.co.uk it is clear that the fee is £25 per year. Information provided is as follows. There is a one hour cut off and a 15 minute idle time cut off. No streaming is allowed so the ISP is of little use to gamers. A news server will be added later. This would appesar to be a good deal for the majority but time will tell. It is not possible to join using a credit card and there is a 14 day wait before connection is made. I have decided to join and have already sent in my £25. This is not a large amount to loose in the event of things going pear shaped....

Review of jamesdee215 - Connect25 ISP

The Best FREE 0800 ISP

Advantages: no connection fee, no setup charges, no call charges, no monthly fee, additional services too.
Disadvantages: they disconnect you after an hour to allow other users to log on to their free service

...With no setup fee, no connection charges, no monthly rental and no call costs this has to be the best ISP in the UK today. I've been using this service for over a year now and it just got better. They call it 'ic24'. It started with free clling during the following hours on the weekend: 0900-1000, 1100-1200, 1300-1400, 1500-1600, 1700-1800. This time then incresed and I was then able to log on to the net for free on weekends anytime between 0900-1700. This time was again increased when free calls were recently introduced between 2000-0000 on every weekday evening. I also use ic24's 0800 number to access WAP services for free from my 7110(details of which can be found in my article on 7110). And ic24 also provides additional services like all other ISP's too....
