i have been with Tiscali before there is no problems with the connection its just there download speeds

you try and download something at peak times and it will take days and they always give you excuses when you ask them why your not getting the 8 meg you are paying for like your to far from the exchange thats why your only getting a maximum 2 meg

moved over to BT and got the full 8 meg most of the time using the same line

im now with virgin media and i get full speed 24/7 even at peak times

Friend of mine had ADSL - I forget who it was with, and was paying for "upto" 8mb - but never got over 2.5. When we asked why, we were told "you're too far from the exchange" - the line went very silent when we told him we were next door but 1 to the exchange
