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.

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?

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.

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
So you now have no need of a barge pole  let us know who you go with please and what you think of the service. As I can’t put up with this slow slow browsing from VM for much longer and I may be using the barge pole myself.

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.
