You use the words Tiscali & good in the same sentence again, and I will drive to Northants and give you a slap  ;D ;D ;D

They have a pretty good network and infrastructure.  Not all their network users at the wholesale level choose to pay for a higher level of service.

Tiscali as an end user ISP isn't too bad if you don't need to talk to their customer service.  From memory (will have to check tomorrow), they traffic shape out p2p and some nntp, so not ideal for a small proportion of internet users.

well line swapped while I was away.

Plugged the new router in on Saturday, and so far all good.

was getting 1 meg down, 256 up

now getting a steady 3.5 meg down, and 700K up!

Been on all weekend, and very impressed, today is the 1st day conecting to the pc remotely, and it is so much faster as well.

Providing it stays like this I'll be very happy.

Want to change my phone socket faceplate, and need a new faceplate - router cable as mine is looking a bit tatty and too short.

cashback has been reduced to £50, that bit was too good to be true.

Very good wireless range on the router, much better than my old one, but dont like it much, even logged in as superuser, I dont seem to have a lot of options / info, but it was free  :-?
