[Sweaty Betty]

Anyone with tiscali that knows the server i need for setting my email account up. Im a mac user and they have just told me after a mere 14 hours of association with them that im not elligeable for tech support, what a bunch of wankers!

So im calling upon you in the know peeps to help a stranded bird out!!!

Tiscali might be the only ISP not to enable migration - because if they ever do, most of their 'customers' will vanish overnight. My mate got trapped in one of their shitty contracts and got threatened with bailiffs etc for comlaining aboiut speeds and cancelling the direct debit. It looks like hes off the hook now after his housing support person (sort of social worker) phoned up on his behalf. Maybe you could try something like that? Assuming you want out, that is.

I'd advise you to have a look at http://adslguide.org. They have listings, reviews and advice for most ISPs in Britain. I'm sure that someone has been in your situation before and has listed what they've done to get out of that position.

Tiscali hit my credit card 6 months after I'd terminated my contract with them then, claimimg it was a billing error, got all snotty about a refund. I won't be using them ever again.
