Services and Prices
Quarks offers a wide range of services in each of its stores, many of which have been bought in as a result of customer feedback. If you'd like to comment or make a suggestion or our services, you can do so on our discussion boards here, or you can contact us directly.
General PC and Internet Use
PCs are available, without the need to book in advance, all day at each branch. Our highest hourly rate works out to be £3.00 and you only pay for the time you actually use. So, if you're less than an hour, it'll be less than £3.00. For example, 30 minutes would be £1.50. There’s a minimum charge of £1.00 which buys you up to 20 mins. There are also a range of versatile discount schemes available that can reduce the price to as low as £1.66 an hour. Click here for details.
Remember, in our cafes you can use a PC as if it was your own without limitation, restriction or even annoying timer software. Click here for details about our fast and extensive internet access, what our PC's look like and what’s on them.
Gaming and Leisure Use
The same price structure applies to Gaming as above, and in some stores the games PCs are in their own games zone to allow you to make as much noise as you like! There are also a number of discount schemes available for regular, semi regular or long session users, click here for details.
Games and patches change all the time and it takes a real effort to keep on top of it. Click here for the latest list and gaming news. Gamers in particular usually benefit from joining the Facebook Fan page as some deals are designed for this audience only.
Last update: March 2010 when there were approximately 192 games on each PC including FPS (First Person Shooters, such as Left for Dead 2), RTS (Real Time Strategy such as Age of Empires), MMORG (Massively Multilayer On-line Role playing Games, such as World of Warcraft), and Racing genres. Oh, and Solitaire.
Business Use
Our machines are fast, reliable and secure meaning that even sensitive business information can be worked on, processed, printed out and saved without any risk of unwanted viewers or viruses. These days, this is a very common use in internet cafes, especially for people who work on the road or at home and want a change of scene. You can even use remote dialing software from the cafés, such as www.logmein.com, which allows you to access your home or work PC from one of ours, or perhaps just plug in your laptop. Price structure for all these service is the same as above and the discount schemes also apply.
But wait, there's more ...!
Some branches stock essential products such as travel goods, USB devices and audio equipment, but this does vary. Click here for details. Both branches stock envelopes and folders for your print outs if you need them.
And finally ...
We'll wait on you! Yes, really! Order from a wide range of normal or herbal teas, coffees, snacks and confectionery and we'll bring it to your PC!
And if you're in Reading, well, why not have a beer or two, or order from our wide range of baguettes, baked potatoes and toasties? Everything is made freshly on the premises to your specification.
