I've been with Tiscali Broadband for over two years and don't have one complaint about them. I've never needed to use their customer service as I've never had a problem.

Switching over to a wireless router was easy and the connection speed is as I'd expect from Broadband...

I lost faith in the customer service department when they told me that my router was causing disconnections because I had too many USB devices connected. I wouldn't mind but the router's Ethernet...

Later in the same email came this gem:
Tiscali wrote: If you are using your Sky network, in the same phone sockets which are using to connect your Broadband telephone line, please use separate filters for each one of them.
Which could be taken a couple of ways but most people would take it as "use one filter for Sky, another one for your phones and use them on the same socket".

Indeed, I am bemused at the amount of complaints on Tiscali's website forums because I haven't had any issues since I replaced Tiscali's crappy supplied modem and equally crappy filters with a router and filters off eBay. Okay, it's not 100% perfect but as we struggled to even get a 512k connection it's not going to be super-reliable. Better now than it was last summer though.

did you not read the bit where I said I ommitted this fact to watch him chastise his mother? Or were you too busy being *wacky* by putting lampshades on your head whilst wearing a Firefox t-shirt (loser)
FFS! Sorry man! Just trying to help.

Personally I receommend staying away from Tiscali on the basis of a) their crappy dial-up and b) that SCARY granny in the skip on their ads. Anyone seen her?

She gives me nightmares

But also stirs confusing and conflicting feelings in me

she's terrifying isn't she. She shouldn't know about broadband, I suspect that she runs a dodgy website
