[kj] now ive seen it all!!!! - line speeds

[Brian Whitehead]

This post is perfect timing for me, as I was literally looking at what BT
had to offer 30 min ago.

Two weeks ago I caved in to my ISP, Tiscali, and signed up to them taking
over my phone as well as my Broadband, all for £19.99 a month. BT dropped
the line last Tuesday as requested by Tiscali but Tiscali have not picked it
up over a week later, so I'm still without a phone and having to rely on my
mobile. I've tried to call Tiscali around 8 times, got through 3 times with
an avarege wait of 25 minutes, been promised call backs that dont happen etc
etc. These calls along with my everday calls have cost me over £25 in
in week on my mobile. Called support again this morning and they are off
line until 11pm tonight and not back to "full" service until Saturday. They
suggested I try emailing instead, which I did...3 times over the last week
with no reply.

Rant over, sorry.

Anybody recommend an ISP whith phoe package.

Brian.
