Tiscali good will gesture

I have been with Tiscali for over a year, i have been paying £14.99 for a 1 meg broadband package and never had a problem with their service.I phoned them to cancel my contract as there are other cheaper offers around so i thought of trying another ISP.Tiscali offered me the same package at £12.99 as a good will gesture so i decided to stay with them.

so those of you who have been with tiscali (and are happy with their service!!) for over 12 months its worth giving them a call.if you ask for cancellation they will offer you a reduction to retain their customers.


hope this helps someone

    sometimes it depends on your area phone line you could only be getting 256k and cant get more than that.

    Dont be surprised to be passed around various departments, make sure you are dialling the correct number as it is tiscalis policy that they cannot call back their customers.

    Good luck.

    Chambeli - you should have surfed this forum as you would have found that they would have given it you for £9.99

    They only give the 512mb [speed] service for £9.99. If you have 1mb [speed] package then they will downgrade the price to £12.99.

    Good point Elfie. You pays your money, you takes your speed.

    They're all off - bank holiday.

    Besides - if you want to cancel you need to call 'Broadband Cancellations' dept - 0845 077 4488.
