Tiscali Vs Toucansurf Broadband

Hello All

I've decided to take the leap from dial-up to broadband. After much research I am down to the final two (sounds like the X-factor). I would like to know your experience of the two (Tiscali and Toucansurf) from the customer service's point of view.

Thank you for your help.

Herbie

    they are pretty much the same.... ie Toucansurf use Tiscali's network - as they are resellers.... though just to also point out.... Tiscali have recieved lots of complaints about speed, billing, customer service, etc etc

    Tiscalis customer service is absolutely appalling......please search this forum for all my comments on them since they started messing around with my broadband nearly a year ago.......I took them to OTELO who fined them and got them to compensate me.

    This is a company who have an complaints email autoresponse saying "we take complaints seriously and will reply within 10 days" but in reality they never responded until months later when OTELO told them to apologise and cough up cash.
