Default Tiscali Broadband

Looking to change my current phone & broadband supplier as i have completed my 12 month contract with BT. At the moment I'm paying per month:

£24.99 broadband
£11 phone rental
plus calls

On 'moneysupermarket' Tiscali are offering a similar package (8mb speed with 40GB per month cap) for just 3.75 per month

Anyone have any experience with them and is it easy to change over

I have a modem already (not a BT one) so should they be able to just switch me over in a seemless transition

if you can get it in your area, one of the cable co's packages will work out quite cheap.

I am just in the Process of leaving the Excellent Nildram, they were Excellent until Tiscali took over, not paying £25 a month for a premium service and it being ****.

Going round to the inlaws after work to sort out their, wait for it, Tiscale broadband, cant wait to spend an hour on the phone to an Indian call centre.

Tiscali own Pipex too so your 'stuff it' had little effect as I suspect Bulldog are under the same umburrrella, brella, brella.

nope.

TBH if it's a money saving exercise, then BE may not be for you.

BE is just really fast broadband at a very good price.
