My personal experience with Tiscali.co.uk is that you get swamped with spam, the negotiation time with the host computer (both logging in and logging out) takes longer than with freeserve (thus clocking up extra revenue for Tiscali at your expense), that sometimes you are not allowed to log on to your email account via another ISP (thus forcing you to use Tiscali to get your Tiscali mail), and finally, that they dont permit your sending mail on another ISP account than your Tiscali account while connected via them. Freeserve offers an altogether cheaper and more reliable service. I was able to set up a freeserve account a year or two ago without using their CD which, however, is widely available from Dixons, PC World, etc, and on computer magazine cover disks. Id be happy to be recommended another ISP myself. Preferably something with a memorable name so its easy to give to people verbally. For example pj at witte dot fsbusiness dot co dot uk doesnt exactly roll off the tounge, while pjwitte at tiscali dot co dot uk is very convenient; the only positive point about tiscali ISP. Per
