You mean Homechoice? Keep it on life support until everyone forgets about it. Should have happened years ago.... Oh, actually, it already did.

I spent 4 months with these jokers trying to get more than 40-50K per second at peak hours with a 2.5Mbit sync and "up to 8Mbit" package. Went through all their pointless testing routines and tech non-help staff many times (lovely 2 line scripts they have). The problem naturally disappeared for some "inexplicable reason" late at night and in the small hours or the morning. But they weren't throttling , no sir it "must be my cabling" etc. I gave up switched providers and paid a few more quid and by some crazy magic I immediately have a consistent 250-300K down the same day on the exact same set uo. Their help forums are full of this type of thing.

Just like to say that i have had Tiscali for years and it never goes off- it's fast as hell- and a call threatening to cancel made it free for the next 3 months then £8 a month. i am very happy with them!

I have sky too though and now wondering if they will put their equipment in my local exchange so I can get "free" sky broadband and use the money for their HD service instead :)

"LONG SUFFERING broadband provider Tiscali looks like it has finally given up in Britain "

Perhaps if Tiscali has actually cared about customer service, rather than dumping on every customer they ever had, then they might have flourished, as it is, nobody wants a ISP that charges the same as everyone else, but offers piss-poor service...

I wonder if it goes through what Sky will do with the existing Tiscalli Video On Demand service
