Tiscali is offering free line rental - should I go?

The broadband is about £20, the line rental is about £10 and calls are on top of that (with 240 free minutes to 01 and 02 numbers).
My bill is about £40 a month all in all.
Tiscali have just started offering broadband and phone, with line rental and all 01 and 02 numbers free, for £19.99 all in.
I am seriously wondering whether to migrate - it is half the price. I do use some peer2peer, but don't mind doing that less or off-peak if I really have to.
Why should I stay?

Could it be only available to LLU customers?

You'd need to check here to see if Tiscali is on your exchange.
(Should we really be discussing Tiscali here? Shouldn't this be in "General Chit-Chat" or "Everything Internet"?)

I've just been having a look at your account and it looks as though you are on the PAYG 15GB special offer, PAYG is our best performing package so it is unlikely you will get a product to match this broadband wise from Tiscali. Also if you do require more call time then you can change to the Anytime + product, this has recently had the FUP removed from it so you can make as many calls as you want per month to 01 and 02 numbers. Don't forget that this also includes the line rental cost and 300 minutes to the top 20 international destinations!

Is there any way in the furture PN might put the phone line rental component in with the 19.99 broadband?
It does make £40 look very expensive now.

This is for two reasons - mainly because of good CS but also because I have an excellent, stable connection.
I'd be wary of changing in case of problems - I have always found that Force 9 have been helpful in the past and it is good to know that they're there 24/7 and in this country.

Better the Devil you know. I have friends who have had major problems with tiscalli and sky and it makes me realise that PN are well above them in cs and support.
If you need a reliable connecion then I'd say stay put.

Then along came plusnet - sync of 6.4mb down - i was shocked.
Yes CS is 24/7 and here in Sheffield, there are very few ISP's who offer this - infact 2 i can think of off the top of my head and one is O2 who have seen that 24/7 support is the way to go. the other is ADSL24 who offer support with the MD sat on MSN most of the time
Plusnet is a market leader, a truely unbeatable brand and nice staff to boot 😄

Would a migration back from Tiscali be liable for this kind of treatment?

This fee applies to BT either putting in a telephone service or for them to reactivate a previously fully unbundled telephone line. Tiscali use fully unbundled lines, so in this case, it would cost £125 to go back to BT or £105 to go back to PlusNet Home Phone.

Tiscali at my old address kept sending me bills for calls they said they had not billed me for even though I paid all bills on time. They tried this on for 3 months after I left so I started of county court action against them never got a bill after that.
They have very very poor telphone support line you could not get any 1 person to talk to or they put the phone down on you
so thats a big no

It is getting to the stage of who can go the lowest, be very careful, those going so low in price are usually not putting that much back in 😉

Tiscali, TalkTalk and Sky all suffer from poor customer service. Have a look at them on:

Before coming to PlusNet I looked long and hard at all the available ISPs and PlusNet won as far as I was concerned.
