![]() We currently have Tiscali's 1Mb ADSL, paying BT for line rental and Talktalk for calls. Checking our phone number with BT's web site it says we can have ADSL Max. We have made several enquiries with Tiscal trying to get them to provide 8Mb ADSL plus line rental and calls as a single package. Each and every enquiry to Tiscali produces a different answer as to whether it can or cannot be done on our line. Is there any web site I can type in our landline number and be certain of what can be done with our line? -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |

You can find more useful info on samknows.com We are already with Tiscali, we just want to upgrade and some of our enquires with them say it cannot be done. The main point of the upgrade was to cut the line rental, rather than the faster broadband. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |

However.... Would you please take a look at:- http://www.samknows.com/broadband/ex...hp?ecode=MYGRF and perhaps confirm what I am seeing means there is no reason why Tiscali cannot provide these services? -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |

There is no apparent reason why Tiscali can't provide you with 8M service, based on the information available to us. However, Tiscali may have their own reasons for not doing so, for example maybe their DSLAM [the thing that supplies you with their broadband when they unbundle your line] is at capacity, or maybe they think your line is too long. Having said that, they've already demonstrated their incompetence to you, so at this point if I were you I'd be a little bit doubtful about making any kind of commitment to them. You might also like to search the archives of this group for the number of threads posted by people where their Tiscali broadband speed/reliability has fallen off a cliff after being unbundled. -- http://ale.cx/ (AIM:troffasky) ) 10:06:03 up 1 day, 13:08, 2 users, load average: 1.67, 1.62, 1.58 Convergence, n: The act of using separate DSL circuits for voice and data |

However, Tiscali may have their own reasons for not doing so, I seem to think that Tiscali are moving all of their users either to their own LLU equipment or to BT DataStream, moving all users off of IPStream due to the costs. This may explain why the OP is not being offered Max, as I don't think that Tiscali will provision Max on DataStream (even though BTwholesale do offer it) due to cost of backhaul etc. |
