Deep joy and another good reason to avoid them.

Me, unfortunately.  I joined Tiscali a couple of years ago and have been paying £14.99 a month for wireless 8mbps broadband, line rental and inclusive anytime calls to landlnes.  I haven't had any problems whatsoever, but now that TalkTalk own me, I am to be "migrated" to their network at £22.99 for an identical package.  Thieving ba5tards.

Shop around Dave.  There are lots of better deals around these days.

Why don't you try O2 Dave, good speeds (i think along with BE they're still the only supplier using ADSL2+) and they now do a phone line as well although i can't comment on their quality. Better still they have UK only helplines  :thumbs:
