Toucansurf

I am currently with Wanadoo Broadband, 1MB and 2Gig cap for £17.99 per month.
My 12 month contract is up and I have seen adverts for Toucan for 2MB and unlimited downloads for £15.99
Has anybody experience of Toucan?

thanks

    I remember reading quite a while ago they weren't very good, as they are resellers of Tiscali's service (which is generally rubbish).

    assuming your presently ok with your current download limits - why not migratet to a cheaper similar product?

    for example for £4 less a month - you can get 2mb, 2gb from zazizam
  • Thanks. I really want to go to unlimited or at least 10 Gig as I am finding the 2Gig restrictive now.

    they (zazizam) have an unlimited package for £19.99 for 1mb (with phone - £21.99 without) - i havent had a problem with them either (in nearly 2 years), plus the contract is only 3 months - which is good...

    i too have heard that tiscali/toucansurf have had a lot of problems, so would touch them either...

    the only other unlimited option (that i can think of, and there aren't many around now) is AOL at £24.99 a month (upto £5 a month more than zazizam's price)


    hope this helps

    luddenden, take a look at some of the LLU providers to see if they service your BT exchange as you may get a better deal with them.

    Take a look at Bulldog, freedom2surf, UKOnline, Homechoice & Be* (https://www.bethere.co.uk).

    I get an up to 24Mbps (actually get 17.5MBps) service with unlimited downloads with Be* for £20pm (£24pm for new customers).
