AOL v Tiscalli

Hugeass304

I am thinking of changing to Tiscalli as I'm paying £24.99 with AOL Gold which is 1meg. Tiscalli is £14.99. Is there a down side to tiscalli?

customer services are crap but if your connection works ok then you don't need to use them.
I'm with Tiscali and have no problems, been with them 3 years.

Ermm Yes, read the forums, not the best isp out there, read carefully their T & C, and also their "Fair Use Policy" although they advertise as "Unlimited Downloads" it isn't.

See what their customers are saying about them.

I have been with tiscali for years and not had a problem with them bar once, where they were overcharging me when they changed their tarrif, I sent them an email, next day they aent me one back saying they had reimbursed me and also credited £5 to my account, very happy customer here.

Ive been with tiscali about 3 years now and never had a problem, on the odd occasion ive had 2 ring up customer services ive found them really helpful, I download quite alot and my speed never changes, so im happy 2 recommend them.

AOL are on the slide see: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/05/04/aol_financials/

Where as Tiscali continue to grow: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/05/12/tiscali_million/

So they must be doing something right.

Also for another £5 a month (£19.99p) their give you 2mb,and unlimited UK Calls 24/7 to 01/02 numbers.

Both are cr*p.

Try Googling 'Tiscali+complaints' and see what most people think of them

Wouldn't toiuch either with a barge pole.

tiscali only grow, as people are drawn in over their constent advertising, and stupidly cheap prices..... plus they use datastream, which is not reliable at all

I'm paying 15.99 with AOL and haven't had any problems so far. I'm sure if you called them and said you were thinking of leaving, they'll do you a better deal. £24.99 with AOL sounds like one of the older contracts.

wouldnt touch either with a bargepole
