I have ordered my Freebox and paid £10, now the box is completely free will I get my £10 back? A. Every customer will be refunded their £10 and will keep their place in the Queue, all of our customers will be receiving notification from us within the next 28 days. We apologise for any delay in posting your order acknowledgement but we have been overwhelmed by response, this has caused a slight backlog - don’t worry we are now running at full speed and you’ll hear from us soon. Q. Do I need broadband for the box to work? A. No, you can use your Freebox with a normal telephone line and still send emails, surf the net, download MP3’s etc. Broadband is a way in which more information can get to you quicker. In future you will be able to download films, music and even television whenever you want. We can now offer broadband as one of our many services and we are doing our best to bring the prices down for our customers. Keep an eye on the site to see more low price offers. Q. Do I need to put up a new Ariel to receive digital TV? A. The Digital signal can be received through your normal area, you do not need a satellite dish to receive it. Q.

Presently you will have to wait until June / July 2001, remember we work on a first come first served basis. *********************************************************************************************************** More FAQs coming soon. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Freebox is also about to launch into Europe; if your company operates in Europe and you are interested in business partnerships please email us today for possible business relationships. Freebox will not be supplying the max ic set top box as shown previously on this site. Freebox will be supplying a British designed system to all of our customers. Freebox Broadband Multimedia & High Speed Internet Has Arrived! Freebox is breaking new ground in the broadband market and now becomes the first STB or HES (home entertainment system) provider to offer broadband. A joint venture between Teles Euroservice LTD, Edge Technologies and Freebox will enable the service to start immediately. The Freebox HES does not rely on the technology for Internet uses however it is a complimentary technology that is ready for the consumer today. The Satellite broadband can be used with any home PC and Freebox will also be offering a business package within the next month. Freebox has also waived the £10 registration fee for the HES and as from next week all applications will be completely free. Those who have paid are being contacted with details to claim back their £10. Freebox High Speed Internet Broadband Multimedia & High Speed Internet Has Arrived! Freebox HSI delivers super-fast High-Speed Internet surfing and download speeds up to 4Mbits/second via best of breed digital satellite technology. Now you can control how much bandwidth you want, when you want it and pull games, maps, skins, patches, mp3 files and all that lovely streaming media off the .net at speeds which have been long overdue. Freebox broadband will be available to everyone in the UK and will be supplied as a complete solution, including installation. Important Note 1: Ping Times Freebox HSI will unfortunately not improve ping times but the fast web surfing, downloads speeds and streaming media are seriously good. Important Note 2: ADSL Freebox know you want the low ping times and always on connectivity offered by ADSL, you won`t want to pay two subscription charges when you `finally` get ADSL, which is why we really won`t mind when you cancel your basic monthly subscription to Freebox HSI. You`ll still get all the other Freebox services and if you sign up for ADSL through us, we`ll even give you access to Freebox HSI on a `Pay As You Go` basis, without a monthly subscription charge. By adding a DVB-Satellite (PCI Card) receiver into your PC, installing the software based bandwidth controls and connecting to a standard 60cm satellite dish (dish installation service included), you can now enjoy a truly compelling broadband experience. Freebox HSI lets you control how much and how often you use it and pay only for what you use. After subscribing to the basic £14.99 per month service which on its own offers speeds twice as fast as ISDN, there is nothing more to pay, unless you choose to open the throttle and increase the available bandwidth. There are 5 speeds available, controlled by a simple to use on-screen interface. Freebox HSI works in conjunction with your existing ISP and Internet connection. The difference is that all the downstream data comes back to you via the high-speed digital satellite connection. In addition to the broadband download speeds, Freebox HSI also delivers your email and your favourite web sites automatically to your PC, without requiring you to be online.
