Don't think so but will double check ( how do I find out?)

Everything seems to be back to normal today so guess they fixed the problem.

Thanks

Look on your task bar for an icon might be bitTorrent - you'll have to right click or double click on the icon to find out what it is.

Nothing dodgy going on there so think that it was a tiscali problem that is (fingers crossed) all fixed now.

If you are unhappy with Tiscali then who will you be switching to?
How much more do they cost and why is it worth it?

I am about to sign up and need options, not 'Tiscali are rubbish' replies. I need 2Mb/s minimum and an 'unlimited' option.

Blueyonder are fairly decent. We started out on 1 meg, got free upgrade to 1.5, then 2, now its 8 apparently!
We keep getting letters about our usesage, but there are 3 students here downloading...errr "lecture notes" nearly constantly

just make sure that whoever you do go with dosent have a fair usage policy if you want unlimited downloads... tiscali do have oe and dont like you to download more than 3gb per weel on unlimited.

my mate has aol and uses p2p as much as me and has never heard anything from them about it-this is also unlimited...

AOl eh? No one has ever recommended AOL. What does he say about the service and the connection.

Nope, they just keep sending us letters saying they have tried to contact us via phone (total lies!) about our excessive bandwith use or something and would like us to contact them. Which we obviously havent :A

They do have a fair usage policy, no idea what fair usage is at all. But we download probably at least 1 gig a day

In your experience.

In 5 years, other than their FUP I've never had any issues with them. For every provider there will be very unhappy customers. Guess you are just unlucky.
