'''Prestel''' was a viewdata/videotex service in the UK. Similar to [[Teletext]] except the data transfer is both directions.
The user connected to the service through a RS232 interface and a modemand appropriate software e.g.[[Commstar]]
The service had various pages dedicated to travel, computers etc. There were pages dedicated to the [[Amstrad]] called "Amster's Cage" which was run by Vince Merrill. This started as part of the '"Micronet 800' " pages and then later was part of the "Silicon Village" pages in 1993.
The service also had software that could be downloaded.
 
Prestel could be accessed with [[Commstar]] and [[Cirkit]] made a hardware add-on for the CPC which could also connect to Prestel.
