Need some advice Thanks..Im thinking of upgrading from 2011 Ultraplus pak to 2014 Ultraplus pak..I would like to know if a slow speed wideband would cause problems downloading it or should I carry on going down the HD route Cheers Frank

"slow speed wideband" needs defined.

What is your average mb/s download rate there?

And regardless of your Internet speed, which as Mac said is unclear, having the hard drive gives you an easy-to-use backup and the capability to move between machines. The difference in price to get the external USB hard drive loaded from PG Music is well less than it would cost to buy such a drive at the store.

Oh, right - the import tariff or some such in England. Or value added tax? Yes, that has been mentioned here. I think you're making a good choice nevertheless.

I think the Everything Pak download is about 80 Gb (80,000 Mb). But remember that the units of the 4.1 value you mentioned is likely to be measured in Mega-bits/sec rather than Mega-bytes/sec (8 bits = 1 byte).

You can also elect to order on DVDs and avoid the hardware tariffs of some of the other countries.


Once you have the DVD installer disks in hand, you can elect to install on an internal hard drive or onto your own external hard drive, or even both, with the main program installed to the internal drive and the RealTracks/Realdrums installed to another drive, internal or external.

From someone who has recently done this and got stung, please be aware you may but probably will get a notice delivered to go to your nearest UPS depot to pick up your package, when there you will have to pay your VAT plus any additional handling fees. It worked out no cheaper for me, hope you have more luck.
Cheers Steve

I have got reasonably fast fibre broadband now with Talktalk and upgrade the ultrapak from 2012 to 14 this year. I think it was 25gb in total download all the extra stuff I didn't have.

Cost me just under £100. Its just a pity you didn't buy in sale to get the extra discount which ended on 15 January.
