HI,

Just been reading up on the (possible) impending sale of Tiscali to carphonewarehouse. I'm not too bothered about the current financial state of Tiscali, because if they go belly up, I know that I am free to change provider without consequence. What I am worried about is if Tiscali DO sell to CPW. I refuse to use any service that is owned by CPW (I have had past bad experiences with that farce of a company). Would I still be tied into a contract? I've looked through the contract and I cant find anything about it. Would I be free to leave straight away? and without financial loss to myself?

looking forward to your replies

Companies are bought and sold all the time, without any effect on existing customer contracts. If CFW buy Tiscali, your contract is still with Tiscali, but the parent company of Tiscali will be CFW.

If you are happy with the contracted service you are receiving from Tiscali, then whoever ends up owning Tiscali is irrelevant, unless the ISP then operates outside the contracted service levels.
