Firstly, Hello. 
Now to business.
I have been using a wireless service that just joined with village internet.....and all you need to know is I've given up and bt have just reconnected my phone line
Problem 1: My father decided to get broadband and he has opted for Tiscali.
I have noticed many, many reviews/comments about Tiscali and it doesnt look too good. He's getting the 1mb package with smart talk thrown in for good measure....£21.99, which seems ok if everything was running smoothly. The line isn't activated until 8/2/05 and he has not received the modem yet. Should I get him to cancel before its too late? (how? phone number?) or have they improved since last year? Will there be a problem cancelling and getting on with another provider straight away?
And now for my problems.......
Problem 2: My BT line has been reconnected for 3/4 days but the asdl availability checker does not know my number.Is this gonna cause any problems when trying to sign up for my broadband?
Problem 3: I want a broadband connection I can use for browsing, gaming and p2p use' so Im thinking an unlimited service would be best. I would prefer a 1mb service. Perhaps a free modem, but I was wanting to set up a wireless router, so this is not a must. (btw, an suggestions for hardware?) I dont mind paying £30 a month, but thats about my limit.
I have seen good things about a few isp's but could you point out any problems with them. Which provider I should consider, etc, etc.
My shortlist:
ZEN
PIPEX
FIREFLY
NDO
DEMON
I think thats about it. There is just too much choice....I didnt have any option but to go wireless until this month so I'm a little overawed by it all.
