Tiscali- good value
 

Tiscali seems good value for money, they are offering Unlimited calls and basic broadband for £14.99 per month which is basically all I need. Next door neighbour has it and says its good. And since i'm in NW1 of London, I can get Tiscali TV too getting the top TV package for just another £15, so lets compare this with Virgin Media:

Comparisons:
Telephone line rental: £0 £10.50(Virgin Media)
Free weekend call pack: £0 £0.50 (M Telephone Package)(Virgin)
TV(Top) and Broadband 2MB: £19.99 £39 (TV and Broadband)(Virgin)

Saving: £30!

Now the only thing Tiscali need to do is launch a mobile service which is being sorted out as I type, Tiscali is interested in aquiring Pipex, Pipex currently owns Toucan Talk which offers a mobile service.

Virgin Media's M Telephone package charges 3p per minute plus 6p connection whilst Tiscali charges 5p an hour during evenings.

Think I might give it a go.

enjoy the broadband cutting off every few minutes, slow speeds, msn and yall cutting off
p2p blocked and all sorts of crap

Re: Tiscali- good value
 

Really. Well the people I know who have it seem happy with it,mayb you're too far away from the telephone exchange. I'm quite near to the Euston exchange so I would get advertised speeds right?

Re: Tiscali- good value
 

few of my friends have it, and its so crap, im one of the lucky ones on Virgin Media.

Re: Tiscali- good value
 

Hmmmm Just looking at the small print so that I can try it out for a period and then send it back if its no good, you know, like a 14 day money back gaurantee.

Re: Tiscali- good value
 

one of the worst ISP's ever....

Re: Tiscali- good value
 

Tiscali. Pipex, Toucan are one company yet they have their own deals. Out of them I think the Toucan deal is the better. I think who ever you go with the customer service side of things and the working system, again I think Toucan are better. One other company to look at are DST as they can take over the phone and offer BB.

May I suggest you read my thread on Tiscali from earlier this year!

Re: Tiscali- good value
 

Personally I had nothing but hassle with Tiscali, slow speeds especially in the evenings and weekends. But I recommended them to my sister, who is a very light user and very happy with them...but if you do more than just send the odd email and browse a few pages, then I would give them a rather wide berth IMHO.

Re: Tiscali- good value
 

Well thanks for your reviews and suggestions.

Funnily enough, I passed Tiscali's office in Soho today lol

Re: Tiscali- good value

Might have to stick around with Virgin. Someone has removed the BT line and mastersocket lol and BT want £124.99 or £137 in £27 per month installments.

Someone always has to put their foot in it.

Re: Tiscali- good value
 

BT is not the only company that can now put a phone line in. Companies like Talk Talk, Toucan are just two that are able to fit a line or re-connect an old line. Well that’s what BT told me when I asked how much they charge.

On a set of scales VM are the best bet for me at the moment even though I have dead slow browsing. Friday night it was working fine, then Saturday it went back to dead dead slow again.

Re: Tiscali- good value
 

Agreed. Im counting down the months.
