Andrew, thanks for this. Billy
Hi,
Andrew.
I used the tiscali software but it's not like BT or AOL. Tiscali doesn't put icons and software all over your pc. In fact, I think it only puts an icon on your desktop that links to the tiscali home page. I'm sorry that I can't be any more helpful on this one, Justin.

Barry, just to let you know, that i have chosen Tiscali as my broadband provider.
My service will start on Feb 13. I have received the Modem ETC through the post.
Just one question if you don't mind. Do i need to use the Tiscali software that comes with the modem, and if so, why?.
Thanks, Billy
Some very good advice from Tristram. To help you, I will tell you about Tiscali with reference to Tristram's points: 1. £14.99 is pretty competetive but I think Plusnet is cheaper. 2. It is unlimited download at 1meg. 3. The equipment and connection is free. 4. You have to set up the modem yourself and support is, so I have been told, pretty bad. Still, in two years, I haven't needed support other than to ask about migration codes, and I did that by email. 5. It is pop3 email. 6. Tiscali uses Windows software. 7. I'm happy with Tiscali but I haven't tried any other broadband provider.

It would be best to analyse according to some quantifiable criteria and work your way to the less tangible, something like: 1 Upper price limit monthly cost. 2 What kind of customer, light user email and surfing, or big downloader/gamer the more you download the more it generally costs in relation to above monthly factor. 3 Cost of connection/equipment, if not provided in the price. 4 Your need for support or help with setup, some will have local rate phone support others higher rate. Some will do a home installation. 5 Do they provide POP3 email, given screen reading webmail can be tiresome it would be best to have POP3 email, some basic broadband does not include this. 6 Does the service require you to install new software or alter your existing software. Some broadband providers are known to require this. AOL is best known for requring their own software be used whilst BT/Yahoo make changes to your Internet Explorer which has been known to cause some screen reader issues. 7 Other users opinions.
