And I think you mean kbps not k/s, drunkenfool, unless you do have a 2Mbps line with Tiscali to get 240 kiloBYTES per second? In which case, I apologise! :D

Pipex mate couldn't recommend them more highly

legend of yrag, lol, i had the same problem with tiscali when i lived at home with my parents. We had tiscali anytime (from the lineone days) and we got an email from them saying we are using in excess of the 150 hours/month, and if we dont cut down we will be disconnected
:D harmless threat i thought - well at the start of the next month we were disconnected from their services :! THEY MEANT IT ?! well, my dad wasnt too impressed as he runs his business from home -_- so i signed up with virgin.net anytime (and its anytime - all the time :thumbs: ) something like 15 quid a month, the best u can get if u cant get broadband or cable at hour home. Happy surfing:wave:

ive had tiscali way before may 03 so thats proberbly why then, and theve prob got fed up with the time we have used theve decided to tell us :lol:

Also the 150Mb CAP may or may not be a rumour, Tiscali said they dont cap there broadband service, but users are complaining when they've downloaded 150Mb each day & try for more, there speed drops to 1-2k/s... Tiscali try and say its network conjestion, but I doubt it!

UKonline :thumbs:

ukonline for me too.
13.99 per month...

I stay connected through AOL 24/7, have been now for the past 14 months I've had it!

I only ever got 2 emails from them, but that was when I was hosting a fairly popular forums while they were switching servers, so was only a stop-gap measure!

Had an average of 65 users online at any-one time, aswell as shoutcast streaming audio!

There main complaint though was someone had upped some porn to the forum so they wanted it removing, other than that they were fine with it!

mmmmm BT did that to me once. I had that BT highway dual ISDN jobbie ages ago, we paid like £40 per month for it for constant access, so we stayed signed on for a month. That pissed them off and we kept getting e-mails saying they were gonna disconnect us... In the end we just said fuck off and got broadband! From Pipex who let us stay online forever...

Everyone will be capping soon as they are not making the money they hoped they would.

Thats from there website, and also they have been doing this since May 12th 2003 (when there terms of use were updated...)

may just be them tho, coz i know ive spent more than 150 hours a month on the net before, and they havnt said anything, when i was looking for a job i was on her for about 10/12 hrs a day :lol:

right will look into ukonline, who on here works for them? Because i remember him doing a search to see if i could get broadband but i couldnt, was about 3 months ago.

Although today mother reckoned she spoke to someone who thought we can get it :boggle:

i'm on freeserve broadband, was on freeserve anytime before, but was ages ago so i've 4got what the deal is with that lol had no problems with them at all tho :)

dump tiscali and go with UKonline

They do an anytime package that gives 16 hours aday (500 a month) for 4.99 for first 2 months and then 13.99 per month afterwards.

...have just sent me a letter stating i have spent too much time on the net this month :rolleyes:

They reckon i have a 150 hr limit each month...so whats this 'anytime' all about then? And never had ne problems before.

They also stated that i should get broadband, well if i didnt live in a remote village i would:mad:

Anyone reccomend a company that i can actually use anytime during the month?? Freesearve etc???

Cheers
