As already stated, there's no real "overall best"....for instance, I've been with tiscali and therefore now talktalk for pushing 10 years, with no real problems.

Having said that, know your ISP.....if on TT, use the member's forums for tech support as & when you need it, rather than the non-techie script-monkey call centres

See my post Jacko oh and the shortcut is to use twitter (cuts out the 2-3 day delay on the forums)

And I am one of the few :cool: plus their forum geezers recommend doing a speedtest using the Xilo server

You may well be right, as I believe that Carphone owns Opus Telecom which may well be the entity you are referring to. The latter provides services to commercial entities rather than retail services (similar to Openreach and BT Retail). Carphone acquired Opus when it acquired Tiscali.

Or do you mean Opal?

No actually I did mean Opus - although TT also own Opal - not sure if there is some connection - too close for comfort? The info on Opus comes from the Carphone website on M&A

Probably because it's not actually completely correct.

TTB circuits account for a small percentage of the type of service we offer. Most of the LLU circuits we have are actually C&W or Be/O2 Wholesale, followed by non-LLU BT Wholesale services.

^^^^ as in Matt from TBB forums Matt ??? That would explain why I can't get xilo on my TT-LLU exchange....no Be/O2 or C&W on there. It's the first time I recall anyone explaining the split, despite having asked before about it. Cheers for the info

No, we can use them too but the poster was implying that we mainly used them which isn't the case.
