Has Tiscali lowered their caps?

I seem to remember Tiscali having a package with 1mb download speed and a
30GB monthly cap, but I now can't see it in their options? Has Tiscali
lowered the cap by half on this package?

I was gonna move to the 1mb service, but I am now worried about going over
it, if I take on this package. We are a internetting family, with all the
kids online here as well as me, and I think I might be pushing my luck with
that package as the boys download film clips and do fair bit of peer to
peer, and also VoIP. Anyone know if they have 30GB package??????
Otherwise, it looks like I`ll have to move to AOL! As it appears that their
monthly package is unlimited.

Can anyone on the Tiscali 1mb service tell me what their cap is at please?

The last time I looked, the 512 package was 30GB, the 1MB was 2GB and the
2MB was capped at 15GB.

Just looked, and the 1MB/2GB package has been upped to 2MB/2GB...

I can't comment on the 1 meg service. But I can tell you that my 2 meg 15
gig per month is crap. Speeds can be as low as 400k. I cant wait for my 12
month contract to expire (or Tiscali to go bust or both). I have tried peer
to peer, waste of time. There is no chance of getting to the 15gig limit, I
would probably die of old age first! Fortunately I have not used Tiscali
customer support which from reading the experiences of others, is in the
gutter with the rest of their services.

All my own fault for not checking out the reviews or this group first and
being a tight arse.

I know this is half of an answer, but hopefully some one will recommend a
suitable provider for you.

Cheers

Arh, I like people who speak their mind ! Excellent post... And plenty of
truth in there as well....

One day Tiscali may become a viable contender in the broadband marketplace
again!

But for the time being, everyone who supported them when they lauched
broadband services are still waiting for the 1Mbit upgrade that was promised
(by email and letter) seven or more months ago.

I do wish that when they actually say they are going to give you something,
that they would actually deliver it! I hate companies that say one thing
and then do the opposite!
