Tiscali and their fair usage policy
message from Bob Smith \(UK\) on 29 Jun 2005
Has anyone ever been disconnected from Tiscali for going over their 30gb
fair usage amount?

I am quite happy to be put on the bad boy pipe from 6pm-midnight for going
over my "fair usage". In fact, the first week I was throttled, they made a
mistake setting it up, and I got about 2Mb connection 24/7 (I was on 256Kbs
at the time, heh heh).

Looks like there's only you left as a customer, judging by the lack of
response?

Looks like it - their TV advertising must be stringing in loads of fresh
victims though.

As soon as an uncapped ISP says they can migrate me without any downtime,
I'm off!

I would have thought some ex tiscali folk would have answered by now.

I have been with Tiscali now for nearly 1 week on the 512kbps broadband so
far no major problems I am happy with the services only one or two little
probs to start off with and now is working 100%

I have no problem with the service, it's the fact that I joined an unlimited
service, which they have changed into a capped one. The usage allowance is
not enough for me, and the only way to move from them is to go without
broadband for 3 weeks. That's if all goes to schedule, and they don't play
their old trick of leaving their marker on my line.

I really want to know if they enforce their threat to disconnect people who
go over the fair usage figure.

No, there's plenty of us about, satisfied with the service.
Keep wondering how these people that say they have trouble actually
get through life.
Started out with 150, upped to 250, and now 512k. Never likely to use
30Gb in a month.
Saving a packet on the phone line cos its been freed up.
Laughing at these desperados on here that persistantly push Plusnet
for their discount. Sometimes getting a little sick of their
persistance.
