Tiscali

eurgh say no to tiscali there s**t.

i use eclipse and have been happy. Bulldog are also good service wise but customer service can be a bit hit and miss although i didnt have any problems with customer service when i had them.

I got this package:

http://www.homecallbroadband.co.uk/broadbandhome.aspx

Calls are free all day, everyday (except 0845, and premium numbers). Plus I get upto 8 meg BB, NO download limit, FREE connection, FREE modem all for £29.99 inc. VAT

I was with BT for my telephone, and Pipex for my ISP. But got a call from Pipex telling me that they have taken over a telephone company called 'Homecall' hence they have now called themselves 'Pipex Homecall'

Excellent vaule for money by far.

Old payments: £20 per month for BT, on payment card. Plus £23.44 for BB with Pipex

New payments £29.99 per month for Telephone & BB with Pipex Homecall.

Savings of £13.45 per month!!

bear in mind tiscali and pipex homecall both use traffic shaping to throttle p2p bandwidth ie. torrent

zen and eclipse are meant to be the best isp's now..

I use virgin, seems ok. No contract too which is a bonus

Have heard good things about Eclipse, my parents are with them and have always been impressed.

Plus they're based in Exeter, so maybe I could take a wheelbarrow over to their building and bring back a load of BB for free!

Well that's an in depth evaluation of the ISP.

Almost as in depth as my reccomendation

Been using Pipex for internet and phone calls for 11 months now without any problems and I've never experienced traffic shaping, but then I don't donwload a huge amount.

I use plusnet, £15 a month for 8mb! But after 4gb a month they put bandwidth restrictions on my line on peak, what is this? They dont charge me anymore but do they just slow up my connection speed?

Well its the truth lol. Mate has Tiscali can never get full speeds on anything. And saying its s**t involves not having to talk about speed throttling etc its gets the point across in 1 word.

Tiscali only throttle heavy users between 18:00 and 23:00.
