I'm getting a Coldfusion error message now. Looks like someone at Wanadoo/Orange is tinkering with something

But the fact remains; Wanadoo = Orange

I have seen a few billboards advertising the take over.

Gilly · 1 Jun 2006 at 00:32

Hmmm. Thats bad. I like Orange, I hate Freeserve.

Although, if Orange improve them onehundredfold they might be OK

orange/wanadoo have been owned by the same comapny (france telecom or something) since freeserve changed to wanadoo. Theyve now rebranded wanadoo as orange.

Thanks for that

on the orange homepage there's a link to free broadband offer but the link's not working yet. Looks like they'll be doing a talk talk type offer.

first dixons, then some french company who called it wannado ?? now orange... makes you wonder whos gonna have it next year...

Wannadoo have been rebranded as Orange, and you should be able to find all the same information now on www.orange.co.uk as you could on wannadoo.

Wannadoo has been owned by france telecom for a while, just as Orange has, all that's happened is brand consolidation.
