Toonraider 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Thought this was a result. A few months back I paid £14.99 a month for a basic broadband 150k connection, then the charge went up to £15.99 a month, still not bad really, it was what i used to pay for freakserve anytime ages ago. Then Tiscali automatically upgraded me to 256K at no extra charge due to phasing out their slowest broadband. Yesterday i received an email offering me 1mb connection for the same price, all i had to do was click to upgrade my account! Result Plus I've never had a problem, finding them very reliable with good customer service too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 337 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have Tiscali BB at home and have never had a problem with it. I think they gave me a faster connection speed too even though I was paying for the slower one. I think I have my landline with them aswell and it's something like £9.99 for unlimited calls to any landline 24hrs a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I also have Tiscalli Broadband. It is excellent. Although every time someone rings my house, the connection cuts off. Does this happen to you too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have BTBroadband "512k" but I'm getting 2K downstream. Most likely they sent something to my dad and he just chucked it. Had Pipex down in Lancaster- scarily fast at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell of a first post, this one. 16712[/snapback] what's microfilters? 16833[/snapback] A microfiler splits the voice and data communications down different strands of the phone cable. Otherwise the signals will interfere. Simply bit of kit really. You need a microfilter on every phone socket you use. Don't buy them from Dixons etc either- get on ebuyer or a local independent PC shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 do you know where i can buy them on the net? are they expensive or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 The things you plug into your phone sockets so you can split the adsl and telephone lines. I had tiscali at my old house for a few years no probs at all. Just gone back to them at my current place and seems ok although it does occasionally disconnect for some unknown reason. Can't really knock them for value though. I was on 512k with 30gb download limit for £14.99 and i've just had an email telling me they are scrapping the limits. Think I've had a free speed upgrade too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...oduct_uid=39530 Those will be fine as long as the socket isn't in a cramped location, otherwise you may need one with a bit more flexibility.

(Phones, faxes, Sky digibox etc). If you have more than two sockets you'll need to buy extra filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They send two because you need one on every phone point- so say you have your main home phone and internet in one downstairs and another phone upstairs you'd need one on both.

Dude 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 i am only using one, which is upstairs where the phone and computer are. i have got a phone down stairs that works fine without one of the adsl filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 so does that mean it will go even faster if i buy a filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 No- what you've just fitted are filters. 'Filter' is a misleading name- really it's a splitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
