- Modem review Escom's 14,400

- I was going to review this value for money modem from Escom which is
- going for just under £80. But when I went to purchase one from my local
- branch they did not have one.
-
- However I don't give up that easy so I phoned up another branch, only to
- hear that they did not have one either. Ok fair enough I suppose it's
- possible, so I phoned another Escom, again no modems sorry. By this time
- I'm getting pretty annoyed, I tried one more but the same story nope we
- have not got any in stock. I thought I would ask them if they could
- order one for me. I was amassed when they said they could not order one
- as they can't order that sort of thing. I asked if they had any ideas on
- when they could get one, well I may as well have been talking to the
- cleaner for as much help I got there.
-
- So here I am still without the modem, so is this just a trick to make
- them look good by only releasing a few? The best excuse I received come
- from my local branch. They said "People want to get onto the Internet
- with Windows '95". I mean could they not do this before? are pc's as
- rubbish as well all thought?
-
- So this is a message to any pc readers STOP NICKING ALL THE BLODDY MODEMS
- coz there are serious computer people out there that want them!
-
- maybe if anyone managed to buy a modem they can send us a review in so we
- can find out if they are indeed value for money.
