The Government has launched the GetOnline@Home scheme, offering decent computers for an upfront cost of less than £50.

GetOnline@Home: Government scheme helps you buy a computer for £49

Fancy a new computer, without spending a fortune? A new Government scheme may help you do just that.

GetOnline@Home offers affordable computers and internet access to people who previously would have struggled to afford them

The initiative is part of Martha Lane Fox’s Go ON UK initiative, which aims to help the elderly, small businesses and charities to get online and use the web more productively.

Lastminute.com founder Fox has teamed up with Microsoft, TalkTalk and Simplify Digital with the idea of targeting those who can’t afford computers to get online.

So, how do the prices stack up?

Prices

Under the scheme people on certain benefits such as housing benefit, income support, jobseeker's allowance and disability living allowance can buy a refurbished desktop from just £99. The PC comes with a mouse and keyboard, 15” screen, P4 2GHz processor, 1Gb RAM, and 40Gb hard drive.

Laptops start at £169 and include a Celeron processor, 1Gb RAM, 40Gb hard drive.

If you’re not on benefits you can get a desktop from £149 and a laptop from £199.

The computers are both pretty cheap compared to what you can get elsewhere. Both refurbished desktops and laptops start from about £299 at Dixons.

Getting online

A special offer provided by comparison site Simplify Digital means people signing up for a broadband package through the site can get a further £50 off, bringing the price of a refurbished desktop for someone on benefits down to £49 or £119 for a laptop.

However, the only broadband provider currently involved in the scheme is Talk Talk.

People buying a computer through GetOnline@Home can get TalkTalk’s Essentials package for just £5 a month (it’s normally £6.50). However, they have to sign up for a year.

Essentials offers up to 14Mb broadband, 40Gb download allowance, inclusive weekend and evening calls.

However, they will also need to pay £14.50 a month line rental, bringing the total monthly cost to £19.50. Customers will need to be credit checked before TalkTalk will sign them up and the service must be available in their area. There’s also a £30 or £50 connection fee although this is credited back on the first or second bill.

Mobile internet

GetOnline@Home has also teamed up with Three to offer mobile internet via a dongle for people who want to use their laptop out and about.

£19 gets you 1GB of data for 1 month and after that it’s pay-as-you-go so you can top it up when you run out of allowance. You'll need to check mobile coverage in your area.

A better deal?

The computers offered by GetOnline@Home are certainly a good deal, albeit for a second-hand refurbished computer.

However, there are a handful of better broadband deals from a choice of suppliers.

If you went direct to TalkTalk Essentials is currently on a special offer at half-price for 12 months. So if you bought a computer and broadband deal separately you could get the broadband for just £3.25 a month. Line rental is then added on top, and is either £14.50 on a monthly basis or £114 if you pay for a year up front (£9.50 a month).

TalkTalk might be cheap but it has a legendry poor reputation for customer service so householders might be better off shopping around for a broadband firm that can deliver on both price and service.

Tesco Broadband offers 14Mb broadband for £2.50 a month for 12 months (then £6.50 a month after that). The deal comes with unlimited downloads and free UK evening and weekend calls. Line rental is £13.75 on top.

Another option is Primus Broadband and Phone Saver which costs £2.99 a month on an 18-month contract and includes 14Mb broadband, 20Gb download limit. Line rental is a further £12.79 a month. To compare broadband deals in your area head over to Broadband Choices.

So what do you think of the scheme? Is the Government right to try to help more people access the internet in an affordable manner? Would you take advantage of the deals if you qualified? Let us know your thoughts in the comment box below.

    Be ware of signing with talktalk, especially if you take the phone line as they do something to the line (unbundle it i think ) but what ever they do to it, you end up paying £39, to your next provider or more, also it is very hard to keep your own number, they told my grandma who had had the same number for over 40 years (adding numbers to it here and there, as it used to be a 4 digit number) she couldn't have it and bt said if it went back in to curculation she could have it for £70!!!!, so be warned!!!!!

    And there was me thinking essentials were things such as food, water and a roof over your head.

    Why not go the whole hog and give them a refurbished car, with subsidised fuel and RFL.

    I cannot see how squandering our hard earned taxes on schemes designed to enhance the lives of the people who conceive such schemes can benefit a country that is telling us there is NO money in the pot. Tell thousands of armed forces personal that money that could be used for them is being handed over to layabouts.

    In the vast majority of cases, 'benefits claimant' is just a posh word for idle. Genuine claimants are probably more interested in getting out and finding work rather than poncing around on a computer.

    Oh, and why do they need a mobile dongle to take their laptops out. I don't, and I work full-time. It seems that someone wants to make a fortune at the taxpayer's expense.

    So, how much will this scheme cost us? Another 3p on a litre of fuel?

    The tag line for GO ONLINE UK is...

    Helping communities tackle social and digital exclusion

    What the Hell is that supposed to mean?

    This sounds like so much flannel. Social exclusion is probably when some fat git who hasn't worked a day in his life has been banned from the local pub for being abusive. Digital exclusion is a totally new one on me, unless the government are trying to get all those layabouts SkyHD (even I don't have SkyHD, and I DO work).

    So, in a recession (or depression), where armed forces are being laid off, civil servants are getting ripped off with their pensions, fuel duty has gone through the roof (the taxation on fuel is more than the fuel is worth) and pasties are now being taxed, our lovely leaders have connived yet another way to throw away OUR money.

    Having a computer and internet access is a luxury that not everyone who can afford it has (many don't have computers by choice, preferring gardening or camping instead), and if people aren't interested in the digital age, why should they be forced to have computers just because some Do Gooder thinks they need one?

    I am sorry if my viewpoint offends some here, but I just feel that in this time of austerity, when we are supposed to be tightening our belts, our leaders are splashing the cash as if it was their own, which it is not.

    This is not a good deal at all, better spec refurb laptops at PCWorld are available from £229, I was looking last weekend and as to the broadband offering well given that Customer Support is based in Manila and Bangalore I'd suggest draw your own conclusions.

    This is nothing more than a Martha Lane Fox hobby horse scheme to get people to spend money and probably money they haven't got on tarted up junk. The country must be littered with computers that people have bought and don't know how to use, don't want to use, have no need to use.

    Paying for broadband access however cheap is still paying money.

    Politicians can be sold any old idea if it makes them appear to be doing something.

    Whenever someone in business says they are out to help people they are mostly helping themselves.

    Just imagine the scenario where someone gets told by their consultant that they only have months left to live, because the drugs needed to save their life is not available on the NHS due to funding cuts, but never mind, because you can have a cheap laptop and internet access for the remaining months of your life.

    No brainer really. Money should be spent where it will benefit the community better.

    Actually, what if the benefits claimant isn't on the phone? Will they install a phone line as well? (I know people who don't have a phone and line, and it is not as uncommon as some may think).

    Just one more reason why some people don't see the benefit of working and will stay firmly on the dole. And our taxes are paying for them.

    It's about time the whole benefit system was overhauled. It is a safety net when things beyond your control happen. It is NOT, and was never intended to be, a permenant place of residence.

    Waste of time. You can buy a refurbished PC (higher spec than as set out in this article) on Ebay for £99, the same price as on this scheme. So how does the Govt being involved add any value? Individuals & families will find a way of getting people online, it's yet another area that the Govt should simply not meddle in. We need a Govt that actively tries to do LESS, and lower taxes/deficit with the savings.

    This is yet another way for companies such as TALK TALK to pump up their customers and rip people off. Why do you have to sign up with another ISP when we all know full well that we can get the dongle from our current ISP, NOT having to sign a contract that would cost twice as much, as for phone numbers, I've had mine since I moved into my current home, been with BT forever, changing the line not only get the hassle of having to change the number, but probably not being able to get online for another few weeks because of the PAC code both of the phone line need to sort out.

    If you don't already have a computer/lap top/phone line, then you had never needed it in the first place. I have always had that luxury, because I work hard to earn myself that bit of luxury, so when the government help those that aren't working because they don't want to, it really make my blood boil, wondering whether I should walk out of my job and get all the help and squander the tax payers money, because some of those people certainly get more a look in than some of us hard working people!!

    As PAULYPILOT said, get one through Gumtree or eBay - higher spec, lower price.

    Cheap line rental £12-85 and broadband at £2-95 per month (with free wireless router) available from Direct Save Telecom - no catches AND UK based service team.

    Martha Lane Fox clearly knows nothing about social or digital exclusion or the reasonable costs of providing internet access. Some people ought to stick to their expertise and mind their own business elsewhere instead of coming up with these self-publicising, supposedly 'helping society' schemes. I take exception to the editorial that 'the computers offered....are certainly a good deal' . They are not - so Emma, also stick to a subject you know something about too, before parroting propaganda.

    Talk Talk are cheats and liars, don't need to add more to that unless anyone wants written proof (which I have).

    This is about as much use as the Labour UKONLINE initiative which had overpaid and useless consultants wasting a fortune and giving away expensive mousemats and thousands of pens made in SWITZERLAND, of all places. Even boxes and boxes of bloody mints with their logo on. Government tossers.

    I now can't wait for the bent Leprechaun O'Leary to come up with a £5 Ryanair holiday deal (plus a nominal £100 to cover fees and expenses) to help those in society excluded from 'cheap' travel.

    Normally I wouldn't rise to the bait (it isn't good for my health!), but I became so incensed by CuNNaXXa's comments that, I've given into my rage. (Everyone else: please excuse the rant.)

    You certainly have offended me. While I agree this scheme as described here does seem ridiculous, so is your rant tarring everyone who isn't in work as idle scroungers. I can only assume you have had the good fortune to never have been seriously ill or disabled (so far!)

    I worked from the age of 15, and gradually with the aid of further education schemes, which were available in those days, worked my way up the employment and social ladder. So when I was forced to retire early on health grounds (which incidentally I fought tooth and nail against for several years), although my income was drastically reduced, because I had contributed to a pension scheme all my working life, I was still over the threshold to receive any benefits which were means tested and I still continue to pay income tax, council tax, etc.

    Although I now have very limited means and can't afford many things that others take for granted, my one "luxury" has been a PC and I don't have the words to express my gratitude for it's invention enough. It has enabled me to continue to be independent in so many respects. Instead of having to ask others to buy food, clothes, birthday, Christmas gifts etc. on my behalf I can choose them for myself and have them delivered wherever I wish. I do ALL my banking online as it is far too difficult to get to a bank, or even a post office most of the time. I can even buy cards online and as for communication, wow! Sooooo much easier than letters or trying to explain by telephone to someone who can't understand me. And, of course, websites like this that keep my mind active.

    Because I came from a poor background, even when I worked I was frugal. I never smoked or drank. We only had one child because we couldn't afford any more. No "working family credit" in those days. The number of times I've been to the cinema or theatre I can count on the fingers of one hand and I've been on two holidays. It still astonishes me in these "hard times" that whenever anyone on the television (yes I do have a television) is asked "what will you do with the money?" the vast majority say "put it towards a holiday". Though with hindsight, I don't blame them. At least they will have great memories. My priority has always been put it towards improving my home or saving for a rainy day. I would also vehemently argue that "the vast majority of cases 'benefit claimant' (is)" NOT "just (a) posh word(s) for idle". Yes times do seem to have changed, but don't assume there aren't plenty of us dinosaurs, still around, who have to "ponce around on a computer" because they genuinely can't get out and find work. So, if there is ever a worthwhile scheme, which isn't there just to make publicity and money for the "entrepreneur cronies" of the rich and powerful, it should be aimed at people who aren't able to get out of their homes without a great deal of assistance. After all this would save the taxpayer money (including the many ill and disabled who also pay tax). Oh and our food, fuel, utility bills, etc., etc. have gone through the roof too. Not so our pensions or interest on our savings (which used to be enough to subsidise our meagre pensions but are now dwindling to nothing). You have a future in which, barring serious illness, you can make up your losses. Without earning power, once ours has gone its gone.

    Normally I wouldn't rise to the bait (it isn't good for my health!), but I became so incensed by CuNNaXXa's comments that, I've given into my rage. (Everyone else: please excuse the rant.)

    As I said in my bit, I didn't label everyone a scrounger, but the system make it appear so.

    Firstly, I am on not much more than minimum wage (I earn less than £20,000 a year, although I won't tell you how much lower than that figure I earn).

    Secondly, when I recently found myself out of work, I was berated by the local jobcentre staff for being a drain on society, even though I had worked for 29 years solid. I got no help from them, even though I saw the same wasters turn up fortnight after fortnight signing on and getting handouts, and making no bones about the fact they hadn't been actively seeking work.

    Thirdly, we have just let go a 19 year old who was referred to us from the jobcentre, for retraining. Young Lewis made it quite clear, with his actions and his voice, that he was only working to satisfy the jobcentre, and would be signing on again very shortly.

    Finally, my Uncle, who has been unable to work for 30 years, and my aunt, who has MS, have fleeced the state to the tune of hundreds of thousands (yes, £100 thousands). They paid off their mortgage with the proceeds. In fact, my uncle even has the Blue Badge for his brand new car. Now here is the irony. There is nothing wrong with him. He is totally healthy. My aunt doesn't have MS. So why do local government official make these awards of benefits that can pay off a mortgage, and allow her to save enough so that her son can put down a £40,000 deposit on his first home, at the age of 21?

    I know there are genuine claimants. I have a friend who is one. Yet there are too many who are abusing the system, and those in power are allowing this abuse.

    How would you feel if someone who needed help was denied that help, because that help was allocated to someone who didn't need that help. What if the person who needed help, died?

    Don't have a go at me because of the corrupt system that allows people like my uncle and aunt, and thousands of immigrants, to live a life of Reilly. Blame our government for giving us such comfort that people don't want to go back to work, even when they are more than capable of working.

    Now I apologise to you for offending you in your unique situation, but I stand by what I say. Why benefit someone who should be standing on their own two feet? It seems that genuine people and pensioners have to make sacrifices so that the dregs of society can carry on living in their state owned semis, driving around in their Range Rovers, smoking 40 a day, and spending hours down the local, getting rat arsed.

    The benefits system was created to look after those who cannot look after themselves, and should not be a meal ticket for the malignancy known as laziness.

    Oh, and as for my uncle and aunt, my own mother shopped them to the benefits cheat people, but they just didn't want to know. My uncle and aunt are still as prosperous as ever.

    Sorry but someone else offended here:

    "In the vast majority of cases, 'benefits claimant' is just a posh word for idle. Genuine claimants are probably more interested in getting out and finding work rather than poncing around on a computer."

    Personally I don't know anyone who is on benefits because they are lazy, that being said I live on an island so things may be very different on the mainland. People up here that are on Jobseekers are only on it for a very short time and those that are on Disability benefits are genuinely ill.

    I get constantly fed up of being branded "lazy and work shy". I'd be quite happy to swap with someone for a week and see how they would cope with needing help with things like showering, making food, getting out and about and being in constant pain.

    When I got ill I tried to carry on working but eventually lost two jobs because of my illness as I wasn't able to carry out my functions (when I was well I did kickboxing and volunteered backstage in the theatre and was a Guide Leader as well as working). I then decided to try my hand at my own business which I managed for 5 years until my health further deteriorated and I had to shut the business down. I was gutted, I felt useless and up until then I hadn't claimed for any benefits. When I did claim for benefits I was turned down first time and was then told by CAB that most people get turned down first time (about 80% of claimants) which was a shock to me.

    I am genuinly shocked about your Aunt and Uncle and can't believe that they didn't do anything about it.

    What a pathethic country we live in. The real deal is that the government want everyone on line so that they can finish having any personal contact with their inhabitants. Everything will be on line. Doctors, pensions, voting, energy , food and you will be at the mercy of the contractors supplying the broadband. It will wallop up when you have to have it - just like the gas bills. What suckers do they think we are? Well , I suppose we are suckers putting uo with one rubbish government after another.

    In 97% of benefit claims, the claims are genuine.

    Official government figures put the number of fraudulent claims at just 3%.

    Yet these 3 out of 100 fraudulent claims are used as an excuse to lash out at and cut benefits to all the genuine claimants.

    Most of the fraudulent claims are thrown out on application. So the true figure for actual benefit fraud is very very low.

    Yes there may be a handful of spongers, mainly in SE England where there is work available, but every effort is being made to crack down on these and cut out fraud altogether. Much of the benefit fraud is by immigrants.

    However Duncan Smith's wish to put disabled (including terminally ill with more than 12 months to live) people out to work just to be able to stay on benefits is nothing short of returning to Victorian workhouses and slave labour.

    And why do they want to provide 'cheap' labour to charities and voluntary organisations - because donations to cover paid employees are at a record low with everyone fleeced and taxed to the hilt.

    It is time a few plain truths are spoken in the opposite direction, at those in 'power and authority' who in truth have often never worked a proper day's work in their entire lives, coming from very rich families, and who consider the poor as 'losers' to be exploited at every turn.

    The social unrest is immense. The Police locally (we live in a very poor and deprived area) apprehended someone who had gone around and smashed all the windows in 40 cars.

    The biggest problem is that we are headed for mass demonstrations with millions of people out on the streets protesting in major cities. (Not the reasonably comfortably well off middle and upper classes, but all of the rest of us).

    We can only take so much social injustice, but for the rich to pay for the middle classes to hit out at the poor is so totally unfair that some form of action is inevitable.

    We can only take so much.

    @ Charles125 - Who the hell are 'all the rest of us?'

    I don't believe that 97% of benefits claims are fully genuine, whatever specific survey was quoted. That people are unemployed and claim benefits may in itself be fine, but please explain the paradox that in my Yorkshire town there are plenty of unemployed, particularly young parents, but Eastern Europeans have no problems finding jobs of which there are VERY MANY and at good pay levels even if they are not the most exciting jobs around. Many of the poor and unemployed are lazy feckless losers from families who have made it a tradition. I don't believe a seventeen year old unmarried mother (quite mature in this town) to be a genuine case for permanent benefit, I believe them to be a parasite on society unless they take one of the many training opportunities available and do something with their life. My 18 year old son and all his friends have been able to find employment or become self employed. To say that much of the benefit fraud is by immigrants is also racist and inaccurate, we have plenty of home grown spongers.

    Forgot to add, finding £99 upfront for most people on benefit is a total non-starter, so I doubt there'll be many takers for this government scheme. Looks good on paper 'til you have to try and find the money!

    If there were, no doubt they'd just reduce benefits even further.

    For those prices (or less) they could provide them with up to date Android based tablets with 3G and WiFi (available in many coffee shops and fast food outlets) what would give them all the online ability they would want and without the overhead of being tied to one address and the eqipment left indoors and stolen. Simpler, easier to support, they can still transfer files and print at their local library (if they still have one) to print off job letters (most libraries provide you with an hour of computing time) for those companies living in the stone age.

    This is just someone getting rid of computers they might otherwise have to pay to scrap.
