Hello All<br /><br />I go away for a few hrs and the forum is really busy..<br /><br />Ok 12 month contract is standard go get a mobile phone and you will sign a contract for 12 - 24 mths.<br /><br />When you consider the costs for Settop box, Irdeto Smart Card and related software plus ongoings for the conditional access alone it costs a fair amount..<br /><br />So a 12 month contract is reasonable I would think
