CANCEL TISCALI!

We experienced the very same thing, and it went on for weeks and weeks. They kept saying they were logging a complaint and someone would be with us in 24hrs. Then... nothing. I would call and say the broadband didn't work, and they would tell me that it appeared to be fine in my area. Um... no - it's not working. NOT FINE.

I have a friend in North London who is having the exact same problem, and even called a consumer watchdog group about it.

Been with Tiscali for 3 years and the connection hasn't dropped once in that time (I'm on Heber Road). Can't complain about them really. Perhaps someone doing the gasworks has cut the wrong cable!


Have just cancelled Tiscali for Sky though as the rolled up packages seem better value.


Anyone any experience of Sky Broadband?

I have Sky, was with Orange for 7 years then moved to Sky. ?10 a month with the package and so far works well. Has not dropped off once can use laptop upstairs and desktop down and it's all fine. Takes 1 min to download a song and roughly 2hrs for 750mb film which I am very happy with. They send modem and disc through post and very easy to set-up took about 10 days to get switched over. V pleased me

I moved from Tiscali to Sky and it's much better (although I'm sure there are better ISP's out there). However, Tiscali continued to charge me. After cancelling the DD, they ended up puting a credit collection company onto me. Boy, did it take a long time to sort out.


Avoid Tiscali like the Plague. Their service is terrible in every respect (they also block various ports and generally make life hell). At least, that is my experience.

I've been with Bethere for the last two years at three different addresses. They've been absolutely top notch, really fast unlimited download speeds, even the customer service is good. They have recently been taken over by O2 who use the same network infrastructure so here's hoping the service doesn't degrade with all the new O2 users sharing the same network.


I've heard lots of bad things about Tiscali, wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

Most rubbish Internet provider ever. I moved from Tiscali to Pipex only for Tiscali to buy out Pipex a year later. Now looking to move as they never told me they were moving me over at the exchange and my connection was down for the day. For me that's important as I work from home. Move...

We were with Pipex. They were great. Bought out by Tiscali and we haven't had internet connection since. I have been working from home at an internet cafe in Camberwell. Crazy.... I can't talk about it too much. It makes my blood boil.

      Nursery school

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
