Tv, Pc, Phone And Router Were All Zapped

[trt]

last Monday and have just got back on-line today.

I was on the comp and had the tennis on TV, when a big bang and flash behind my TV nearly knocked me off my comp chair.

Have had to get a new TV and router from Sky and on my laptop now as my desktop is burnt out and maybe the monitor as well.

So my insurance is going to pay up for the lot, so will be shopping for a new PC this week ( any recommendations welcome as to which make etc ).

I was going crazy all week without them, and you don't realise how much they are missed till you haven't got them!

That must have been scarey. You were lucky trt. And now luckier still with a new computer TV and router. Not clued up to what is the best to buy though.

I love my Samsung all-in-one so you don't need anywhere to put a tower....

Did you have any trouble with your insurance claim ? I know its only been a a few days but in my experience, insurance companies can drag their feet a bit on this sort of thing...Act of God and all that. I would be most interested in how get on with your claim trt...please keep us informed !

Quite a few house near me had a few probs, and Sky and BT have been in the area for days.
My insurance company Sun Alliance were very good at first, as I didn't know my PC had been damaged till I had the new router, and for all I know, the monitor might also be knackered.

When I first called the insurance comp they said it was only a small claim and the offered me the cost of the TV and router without receipts etc.

Now will have to tell them about the PC and maybe the monitor today. and see what they say.

Will keep you informed, for those that are interested about the insurance.
