Did Tiscali's fix work? If so, how did you go about asking for it? I'm tied in with them for another 6 months or so and I'm getting fed up with ridiculously slow download speeds. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated...

ok so i rang them then they told me to email broadbandservices@uk.tiscali.com with my problem. after a few days they emailed me back saying the problem had been solved so i checked limewire and sure enough the download speeds were much faster. not sure how long this will last for got a feeling the same problem will crop up again in a few months time. speeds are now up to 120kb/sec (not sure if that the correct units?) think i could probably get more on my 1mb connection speed but at least the songs aren't painfully slow anymore. thanks for your help guys!!

Later Grandpa

what did you say in your email. i am with tiscali and have been struggling also

just told them that i was paying for limewire and also the premium rate for tiscali and only getting download speeds of up to 4kb/sec. asked them whether a port may be blocked and was just generally polite about the whole situation. the only thing they didnt do was tell me what the problem actually was so i could maybe sort it out if it happens again.
hope that is of any use
