    Just spent some time looking at the comparison table provided by Tiscali and the £19.99 package looks tempting but the remarks about them have put me off. They have my name and address now so I hope they will not be bothering me with phone calls and mail. I have asked them not to phone.
    Will go and have a look at Sky now and try and find the £3.25 that Bill Savings has mentioned.

    Although two posters have said avoid Tiscali like the plague they don't say why.

    We are on BT light user scheme and hardly use phone (throw back to when you needed a phone line for dial up and emergency use). For the last two quarters our TOTAL bills have been under £30 per quarter.

    I'm also on BT light user, and sometimes I pay more vat than call charges. :mad:

    Thinking of changing to BB, but enquired before, and can't get BB while on light

    user, so it means going onto Unlimited Weekend Package, £10.50/month, so that

    puts up the BT bill.

    Anyway was thinking of going to Plusnet, option1, £9.99/month, which is cheaper

    than the £12.49 I'm paying Tesco just now just for dial up, so it should balance out.

    Thanks very much for that. Sparks were flying on that thread. Who are you with; is it Talk Talk?

    Thats one of the reasons I was looking at this. If BT costs is going to be £10.50 anyway then cost of broadband will be £6.50 per month (after intro period) and I can make free calls at weekend rather than using mobile (yep in cases its cheaper to use mobile rather than lose light user rebate). Plus of sign up before 1 Auguat can get £100 towards cost of first 18 months through Quidco!
