Hi

My exchange is only enabled for Tiscali so its either that or stay with BT.

I am classed as a high user so am limits at peak times it seems this is 5-midnight and all weekend???

I ran speed tests this morning sue to slow net and got mixed results from 60kb to 600kb I am supposed to have 2mb.

I am sick of the slow crap speeds on BT so was looking at changing but Tiscali is the only one available in my area, other all use BT lines and wouldn't be any better than BT.

Does anyone recommend Tiscali? I have looked at their FUP and it doesn't look that different form BT's?

I just signed up for tiscali a couple of weeks ago. My line was initialized on tuesday according to them. I have not yet received my BB pack so can't even connect! Called them and they said sorry and said they will send another that will arrive in 5 days.

I hate paying for something I have not got the use of.

Cancel with BT and get your MAC code and sign up for Tiscali and they will send you a new router etc and a date for when the line is activated.
