Mobile operator and ISP O2 UK has today announced the launch of its new chargeable telephone service - 'O2 Tech Support'. It costs £7.34 a month (or £14.69 on a Pay as You Use (PAYU) basis) and provides a "range of expert services" to help solve technical problems with Mobile Broadband , Home Broadband and Laptop related dilemmas.


The new service, which some might suggest should be providing within the normal support channels, promises to tackle issues such as removing a virus, setting up software, linking up home cinema systems or even connecting to a CCTV system. It’s probably easier and cheaper to Google the solution.

In related news O2 claims to have finally resolved a serious network problem that had left its customers without email access for approximately 3 days.
