    So you can't use Tiscali (most would say that's a good thing!) and your only option for broadband is via your Virgin cable connection.

    Yep as has been said unless you have a standard BT line installed you are now stuck with VM.

    Thanks again for all the replies.....

    Very convinced, now that I am on a DSL line.

    One last question.....

    Can I try for any other providers for broadband through DSL or is that also
    taken over by VIRGIN??

    Any other options!!


    I have Virgin broadband (cable) and I am increasinigly happey with it.
    I have phone via bt low user scheme though.

    If I was in your position I would take phone TV and broadband from Virgin.
    It is £30 the lot I believe. It would also stop Virgin bombarding me with junk
    maiil reminding me of the deal, I must have had about 100 letters from them
    repeating the same message.

    TISCALI!!

    That's a swear word


    My Dad has been trying to get shot of them for a year

    I signe dup with them, then decided to cancel before the staqrt date as they never replied to any emails and sent me a wireless router which didnt work, so I emailed and wrote to them asking to cancel BEFORE the start date

    I then went to talk talk. (Super so far, £16 49 a mth for phone line calls and broadband)
    Then i got a bill from tiscali!!!

    I have since written 2 more letters and emailed them and they just keep saying my account is still active!!!

    Fortunately i cancelled the direct debit and I also kept photocopies of all letters, so when they eventually send a debt collector after me I shall produce it all and hopefully he will bill tiscali for messing about

    Avoid tiscali like the plague!!
    I can be brown I can be blue I can be violet and sky. I can be hurtful I can be purple I can be anything you like..Gotta be green gotta be mean gotta be everything more...
