I was on Tosscali for about 6 yrs till i saw the light in May just gone, speeds are terrible, they traffic shape, have an FUP, they false advertise.... the list goes on.
Peak Times of the FUP are 6pm - 11pm, your not allowed to browse, game, nothing during those times as they will slap you with an FUP warning, get 3x and you get bunged on the *bad by pipe* which is even slower, i mean come on, your paying about what £10-£15 a month, you don't think your allowed to use the internet as well do you, i mean come on you don't pay an ISP to use the internet.
You wanna be carefull as if you post on here, or read a couple of threads during peak times they'll FUP yer, hell they only have to detect you connecting up to the internet during peak times and they'll say you used to much bandwidth have an FUP warning.
I was on 1mb getting 20k downloads with an upload rate of 0.5k or less as the shapings that bad, shaping started about 8am in the morning till 1am, and you also had to deal with the FUP as well, scores of ppl complaining saying i cant get more than 20k outside of the peak hrs of the FUP, yes thats because most of the FUP's hrs are inside the traffic shaping hrs, FUP has nothing to do with the shaping, both are seperate, and both have their own times, they are absolutely dire, go read the forums, go read ADSLguide etc...
Even the 8mb MAX is a joke, they won't allow more than 30k download, jesus what a waste, they should take everyone of MAX and just stick em all on a 256k connection, 8mb is a waste when they will only let you have 30k, jesus i know ppl who are only on a 512k connection, and they are getting much faster speeds than those on Tosscalis 8mb, they get double the speed as they get the full 60k's LMAO.
