Tiscali phone calls?

As I'm a newbie, could somebody tell me why Tiscali bundle packages that include all local and national calls are not mentioned amongst the cheapest calls / internet providers? I'm about to switch from AO Hell and it seems an obvious choice to use Tiscali bundle package with BT option 1. Would this not mean I get internet and landline calls for £19.99/month and line rental for £11/month? Would appreciate some advice, thanks

    I would recommend that you do a lot more research before switching to Tiscali. You won't have to look very hard to find dissatisfied customers. Remember that you do tend to get what you pay for.

  • Hi
    I wouldn't recommend anyone going to Tiscali, one of the worst isp's arounds, your better off going here and comparing

    Remember cheap isn't always best, and Tiscali are certaintly not that.

    Hope this helps

    Yes, yes, yes they really are that bad, and like I say cheap is not always best.
    But don't take my word for it, just follow the threads in here about Tiscali, I've personally not known one person who have ever been with them and recommends them, and that includes me.

    Hope this helps
