Where on earth did everyone get the idea that you have to use bigbluespot's isp to go online for an hour a month, check the terms and conditions, it is NOT necessary to access the internet on your bigbluespot computer. I personally think it is very good value for people like me who live quite far from uni and hate queueing for ages to get on a computer. Now I can use my own computer in the comfort of my own bedroom (where no one bans me from eating, drinking, listening to music or using my mobile phone!)Oh, and you can check your e-mail from any computer, just be sure to do it regularly in term time.  Read the complete review

I believe this site is on to an abosolute winner. Giving away PCs to all us students, but is that really true. At first I was sceptical, I never believe in a free lunch, but then I read the opening statements on BIGBLUESPOT.COM. All you need is a letter of acceptance and a PC is yours. Then I read the smaller print. The PC is at least second hand, fair enough. I must pay for delivery, £14 OK. I must pay for insurance, but not necessarily their's, again I'll allow that. But if I want to use the internet I must use their server, no doubt a more expensive one probably full of adverts from "student friendly" organisations. When ...  Read the complete review

I've had a good look round bigbluespot and I think it's pretty good. It's not covered in ads like the so many websites and it's pretty straightforward and not too condescending - I get really sick of the 'Hey! Zany students! We're with the kids' attitude that other sites like Red Mole have got. As for the computer offer, well it's not strictly free - getting £85 quid back in three years doesn't feel like free, although I suppose technically it is. But, on the other hand £99 for a computer is a pretty good deal, even without getting the money back so I reckon I'll go for it - especially as I've persuaded my parents to ...  Read the complete review

bigbluespot is a standard 'student' website with a bit of a difference, it gives away computers. Whilst the idea of free computers (or as good as free) for students appeals immensely (never let it be said I would pass up something that cheap). Do they seriously think that anyone will be using their site on a computer worse than a P70 (which is what they're offering)? Or that if they are, that those people are a big market? Seems like a cynical device to draw traffic to me. Having a computer as a student is almost essential, with most courses requiring you to type all essays and a limited supply of university computers. These could be ...  Read the complete review

The Big blue spot themselves sent me an e mail about my review!! Asking if i had any other comments to add from myself or others and telling me that the only cost for theISP is local call rates. See Big brother can be watching our reviews Original review I found this site through azfree.co.uk and was all ready to sign up to try to get a free machine but then i read all the terms and conditions. They appear to offer to lend you a Pentium 75 machine and software for 30 months and after this time they give it to you . The machine would be which would be very slow and then you have to agree to lots of conditions but the main one seems to be ...  Read the complete review
