Absolute Gadget

Mobile phone operator O2 would like very much to fix your computer, for a small fee of course.

Unimaginatively titled "O2 Tech Support", the service rivals those from Geek Squad and the Tech Guys. According to O", users of the service will "benefit from a range of expert technical services providing peace of mind for all their home and business electronic needs".

The range of services include help with home and mobile broadband as well as "removing a virus, setting up software, linking up home cinema systems or even connecting to a CCTV system".

The new service can be signed up to at the company's website www.o2.co.uk with a minimum 3-month term starting at £7.34 per month, or "Pay as You Use" from £14.69 where O2 offers a "No Fix - No Fee" promise.
