Tiscali is advertised as being one of the cheapest home broadband services in the UK. The chief factor in how the company is able to offer such cheap broadband deal is the free line rental, thanks to the ‘Local Loop Unbundled’ network. TalkTalk bought Tiscali broadband in 2009 and the downside with this provider is undoubtedly the lack of choice in the type of package that you can purchase. In fact there is only one option, which comes with speeds of up to 8Mb and a free modem. As with most other leading broadband deals, the Tiscali package includes both home phone and digital TV access.
It is nice to know that the package deal also includes the following benefits, the system is set up free of charge, there is free e-mail and anti-spam software. There is also no need to worry too much if there are any problems, as there is dedicated support 24/7.
Customers who have rated the Tiscali home broadband package point to its general reliability and the ease of making monthly payments as its good points. On the downside, the main point of criticism is the time it takes to download content from the Internet. For £20 per month, Tiscali offer a home broadband deal, which includes line rental.
Compared with the Virgin broadband and Sky broadband deals, Tiscali offer a very competitive service that is a close match to the two leading alternatives.
