the hitman Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I have been with tiscali for a while now and all was ok to start , but recently the service has been shocking . I cannot connect to the internet after 4pm , and they are trying to say its my computer. Anyone else with them ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) I was with them but the relationship broke down when I had service problems. Took it all the way to the CEO who wanted it sorted but by then it was too - it was goodbye Tiscali and good riddance. But then I suppose most are the same.

paul1966 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I was originally with freedom 2 surf who were a very good independent isp, they sold out to pipex and service went down slightly, they then sold out to tiscali and the service has nose dived. i am migrating to adsl24 next weekend, been with freedom to surf 4 years but had enough.

J@mes Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I have been with Tiscali for 3 years with no problems. UNTIL NOW. I pay for a 2MEG line, I have tested the line and it supports up to 1.5 MEG and for the last 4 weeks I have not seen download speeds past 400kbps. averages 250. I shall be ringing them on monday for my MAC code, as I am paying £18.99 for a service that is usually twice as fast as dial-up speed, no matter what time - 6am, 4pm, mid day, midnight, whenever.

the hitman Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Good luck j@mes , when i call tiscali , they insist on running a few tests on my router , and computer, then they tell me i have a firewall blocking the signal. I had enough and gave the guy a right earfull , then he admitted the problem was with them. Its working better today ( SO FAR). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Yonic Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 We were with Tiscali and their service was so poor, both connection wise and 'customer' service, that I told them where to stick it! They kept saying it was anyone else's problem but theirs which infuriated me. I work from home sometimes and needed my internet connection and if I'm paying for something then I want it to work. Their staff were rude and just useless! Now with BT and so far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
