Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

Sounds good to me. I have been on the £17.99 service ever since i joined NTL a few years back. I have endured their sales pitches of offering cheaper deals to newcomers whilst charging me the same. Also the sporadic reductions in quality of service probably due to taking on loads of new customers and not putting in sufficient infrastructure etc etc. I think its time to go at last.

Are you looking for a discussion about the merits of Tiscali, or the shortcomings of NTL? :confused:

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

I wouldn't touch Tiscali with yours :gag: Although if a mainstream ISP like them offer that price a few others will follow soon enough.

Hmmm...

I have been looking at this myself (for my mum) :)

Seems an ideal entry level for her.

I have a m8 who is on the 2mb package. The only problem he has had is an email about his download usage between the hours of 6pm and 11pm :erm:

Ohh, and Indian tech support :p:

Other than that he has had no probs at all. It seems like a good entry level broadband package to me ;)

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

Tiscali's definition of unlimited is quite an interesting one.

Actually as is their definition of a service - see adslguide for more tales of this quality service.

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

Alas the two are linked for if it were not for NTLs shortcomings,i wouldnt need to look.

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

why, is it not unlimited dls?

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

I watched their AD on TV, thing is they tell you upto 8meg speed then quote a price of 'from £14.99', which is not the price for 8meg nor do they make it clear what speed £14.99 gets you!

Why can't they just quote the prices for their speeds instead of showing the highest tier speed but quoting the lowest tier price?

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

Actually, they have one of the most sensible fair use policies I've seen:

Basically you should respect other users at peak hours (5pm to 11pm) and limit your downloads. At all other times you can cane your connection all you like. If you don't, then you get traffic shaped during peak hours.

Simple. Fair. Upfront.

I think you're getting confused with either Bulldog or Wannado. Tiscali don't have an 8mb service.

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

unlimited means unlimited, if tiscalli dont like the times when people dl, they should state it on the service somthing like, "unlimited dl's during off peak".

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

They do. There is always a mention of the term "unlimited" being subject to a fair use policy. The fair use policy makes it clear what happens.

No-one will stop you downloading lots, but they say they will traffic shape heavy users at peak times. What's the problem?

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

The problem is its not true unlimited bb.

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

Tiscali , dont go there. I was with there BB before i got ntl .
Try getting on the internet on a friday night , you may be lucky if you try after 10pm, and when i was connected there was the constant dissconections , and when i phoned them about the dissconections they kept saying it was my bt line at fault , even though it was checked by bt twice with no faults found. Ntl broad band compared to tiscali much much better even if you have to pay a couple of quid extra.

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

I saw a program about a unhappy customer who was with tiscalli and he wanted to change isp and they were causing him all sorts of problems, I wouldn't touch them with anyone else, I'm happy enough with telewest BY, yes it is slightly more expensive, I wonder why?!

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

there are forums on ADSLGUIDE - I suggest before going to any ADSL supplier you check out the comments on there first! tiscali have a ****e name for themselves as far as I know as do a lot of other ADSL suppliers. nildram is the only one I can think of which I've heard good things about! perhaps because the unhappy customers are the loudest!

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

Of course it is...no-one is being cut off for going over a cap. Suggest you have a read of the T&Cs yourself.

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

If you get emails saying that you should cool off during the hours that they suggest then its a load of bobbins and im glad im not with them.

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

Ah! You're right, it was Wanadoos AD. It's still bad advertising though ;)

*Edit! Just read their page and 8meg is what you *MIGHT* get for £14.99 dependant on how *FAR* you are from the exchange and *IF* your line can handle it and *IF* you live in the right area and you like a 2GB cap :Yikes:

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

Well, if you're a serial downloader that doesn't have any consideration for other users, then I'm glad you're not with them either!!!

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

We all pay for our connection so why shouldn't people take advantage of it, it sounds very nice what you are saying but it is just too unrealistic. Tiscali or any other isp that advertises their server as unlimited then complains about dl usage at certain times should re-word their marketing. Yes im glad im not with them otherwise they would of got an email off me as well.

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

I think as long as the terms are laid down clearly when you enter into them, then it's not a big problem to me. If you enter into any complex agreement such as the provision of broadband only by taking into account the headline offer and not the T&Cs then you would deserve all you got.

If you are a heavy downloader then I would expect you have read the conditions, decided against signing up and paid another ISP that did not ask you to be a considerate downloader.

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

considerate downloader lmao, at £25:00 per month i'm no considerate dl'er!

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

What has £25 per month got to do with it?

I think maybe you need to read the price as well as the T&Cs :LOL:

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

Thats how much I pay for my bb.

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

But we're talking about Tiscali - and they charge £14.99 a month - had you forgotten?

Re: Tiscali unlimited 1Meg, £14.99
 

I know tiscali charge that and a good thing to, since your getting conditional unlimited bb.
