I know this may not apply to everyone here, but someone passed this onto me. Could be of use to some , Sounds like a decent offer ( Although you have to be careful as it may be a ruse to spy on your connection and see how many hours your jobsearching a week)
MILLIONS of less well-off families not on the internet are to be offered computers for just £24.
The offer also includes broadband from £2.99 a month, so Brits can get a PC and a year of web access for less than £60.
It is the latest push in the government-backed Get Online@Home initiative — aimed at the 10.8 million people without home web access.
The scheme is the brainchild of web expert Baroness Lane Fox, the Government’s Digital Champion and founder of lastminute.com.
She said: “With the cost of internet access cited as a key reason for not being online, this is an incredible saving and will transform the lives of everyone who hasn’t been able to get online before.”
Users can save an estimated £550 a year by buying goods and services online.
The unemployed will also benefit, as three in four jobs now have online application processes. The computers — mostly unwanted machines donated by businesses — come with Windows 7 and Microsoft Office which alone would cost £150.
They are £24 for those on benefits, and £74 for others but will require a broadband deal. To apply, call
0800 090 1297.
