Decent offer with Tiscali at the moment, 3 free months if you subscribe to their Anytime service for 12 months, currently £14.99 a month.
Does anyone use them at the moment, any problems with not being able to log on or problems with being cut-off etc. ??
Thanks in anticpation ..

Yes i use them for my dialup account and part from a dodgey time christmas last when no one could log on for any reasonable amount of time, i`ve had no problems whatsoever, log on everytime at usuall 49.2 k or slightly more

Tiscali do however have a poor reputation when it comes to customer service, and in the past their billing process ( i went a complete year without being billed!) their technical support i can offer no comment on as i have never had to call them for a damn thing... auto cut off is 2hr, though sometimes i have been logged on for 6 hours at time and not been kicked off, rare but it happens.. but for 14.99 its a damn sight better value than BT`s anytime as long as its our time shambles i left them for....

I am sure other will comment...

Not sure about their Anytime offer, but I just switched to Tiscali Broadband. Had reasonable service so far. The CD they sent out with the adapter was blank but they (eventually) pointed me to a web site where all the drivers etc could be downloaded. It took an age for them to answer the phone though.

If you can get ADSL its worth a look, 20 quid a month for 256K, free adapter, 35 quid connection. Better value than BT.

Re. the last post.
Just checked the Fast4.net website and their deal seems too good to be true (or am I just a shmuck paying Freeserve 14.99/mth)

Anyone else with any long term experience of Fast4.net?

I`ve used Lineone then Tiscali for a few years both on pay per min and the £14.99 per month. Never had a problem, havn`t been cut off after two hours to my knowledge. The only gripe I have is the amount of e-mails they (and their selected partners) send. This is not on when you are paying them. Interestingly Lineone never sent these e-mails it has only started since Tiscali took over.
On a plus point they do have valued customer "free" PCgames and DVDs each month, never anything too spectacular but it keeps the kids in new games!
