Getting Compensation from Tiscalli
For the benefit of all I will quickly sum up how I managed to get blood out of a stone last night. Simplified solution 1. Take note of when this outage was and ring much later just before you go to bed. 2.

TalkTalk P2P response

Zen to Sky
Thinking of moving only because of the money saving but wondered if there was anyway of finding out what people think of Sky BB in the area I live. Failing that, as I can get Sky on LLU does this mean that I shouldn't have the problems that I have read about with Sky. Thanks
