Tiscali Broadband
Tiscali was formed in January 1998 and is thought to be named after a small village in Sardinia. However, there was nothing small about its internet operation which attracted vast interest when it entered the market and has expanded to be the fourth most popular broadband service in all of the UK.
One of the reasons Tiscali broadband has been able to grow is because it has met changing consumer demands by merging broadband with phone services and most recently introducing a television deal. On top of all this, Tiscali has remained one of the most economical providers around and offers some of the most cost-effective monthly deals on broadband-only and, at the time of its launch, the broadband, phone and TV deal was the cheapest in the UK.
Who is Tiscali broadband ideal for?
The beauty of these Tiscali broadband deals is that all download capacities are unlimited* meaning your choice is based on the speed you require. The 8Mb deals are best for those who want a little extra. There are large savings to be made by picking a bundle deal, particularly if you take advantage of one of the TV packages which are currently the cheapest in the UK.
What do you need to get Tiscali broadband?
To set up your Tiscali broadband connection you will receive a Tiscali installation pack - which includes the following for free:
- A broadband modem.
- Two broadband micro filters with RJ11 cable to connect to your broadband filter.
- USB data cable to connect to your computer.
- CD installation software.
- Set-up instructions.
So all you will need is a phone line supplied by BT.
What else does Tiscali have to offer?
Tiscali does offer 'extra' broadband deals for 8Mb packages. These come with added features such as 500Mb of storage space and 150Mb of webspace. However, for the majority of users, the regular deals will be best as they are less expensive and cover most user needs.
The Tiscali TV deals are attracting a lot of interest in the broadband market currently as they include innovative technology such as on-demand programming and the FX catch-up service. There is plenty to enjoy on the on-demand service too including well-established programmes such as Dr Who, Friends, Casualty and more. The TV variety pack incorporates channels such as Sky One, Paramount and ITV2.
