Tiscali (Lineone) Reviews

I admit it, I signed up to Lineone because I wanted some free iPoints to get me a DVD. I never planned to ever dial up with them, because they aren't my kind of ISP. That sounds silly, I know, but they cater well for the new user and as I'm not a new user I prefer not to have all the 'this is how to do this' blurb shoved in my ...  Read the complete review

UPDATE: Things have improved (slightly -but it's a start)on the Tiscali Home Front. In general connections, speed and dropouts have returned to LineOne standards at their worst.[Like pretty awful,but just about tolerable] Thanks to other DooYoo subscribers I have browsed through their opinions of other ISPs and have come to the conclusion ...  Read the complete review

I used to think that Ntl's free internet service was bad, but then I moved house!!! We moved to an area not supplied by Ntl, so we signed up to surf and talk with BT and signed up to Lineone. Their pages are solid, but I find it very very slow. I am always with UKonline, I tried an experiment and even though the connection speed ...  Read the complete review

I've been using LineOne's off-peak surftime package for the past few months now, ever since BTInternet stopped their off-peak 0800 package. I've been happy with LineOne right from the start - connections are fast, there are no engaged tones and the monthly price is reasonable. Unfortunately, however, things seem to have ...  Read the complete review

Back in May 2000, Kingfisher through its Comet stores bought us a too good to be true deal. For £20 per annum you received unlimited off-peak Internet access. An extra £35 bought you unlimited 24x7 access. This was in the halcyon days when these ISP’s thought they would make their money on loads of advertising revenue. They didn’t ...  Read the complete review

Years ago, back in the hazy depths of time, before the dawn of the millennium – my ISP was known as LocalTel and rather impressively decided to offer free internet access at offpeak times for only the cost of the line rental. Of course this meant that you had to leave BT but the offer was sufficiently great for my family to jump ship. Then ...  Read the complete review

Everyone laughed when Comet started selling ISP cd for £20 unmetered off-peak, but I was one of the users laughing as I used it for 1 YEAR with little or no problems. Then I looked around for another ..tried AOL, (had my account hi-jacked by someone)didn't like the slow response from the servers so decided to return to Tiscali...what can I ...  Read the complete review

LineOne (www.lineone.net) has been around for some years, and has had its ups and downs. Last year it operated a subscription service with an organization called Quip. The jokey name covered a fairly disastrous service, and the link was happily soon terminated. LineOne has changed hands several times, and was recently taken over by Tiscali. At the ...  Read the complete review

I have been on BT surftime with Lineone for quite a while.About 10 days ago I was invited to join Lineone`s new 24/7 for £14.99 per month.I immediately joined as I find off peak just too confining.I was joined up within 5 minutes much to my surprise and able to start straight away.I thought there would be a catch as I am so used to having ISP`s go ...  Read the complete review

I just don't know. I've looked at it from all angles, from side to side and up and down. I've given it some of my precious thinking time - I've read that sex is really between the ears - but no way can I find anything sexy about LineOne. I suppose you could say that LineOne, being an Internet Service Provider (ISP), ...  Read the complete review

i've checked out all the other Internet service providers and lineone's free evening and weekend package is the cheapeast that i have found with call charges at only 1p per min at peak times you will not get a cheaper ISP anywhere. Unless your paying for the whole year in advance, and you know what happens to most of them after a few ...  Read the complete review

I was ready to surf didn,t have a clue what i doing but what the hell. So i went for lineone because of having a bt line already and ...  Read the complete review

I use Lineone for my personal EMail. I have it hidden from my family to give me a bit of privacy. When I joined up I was very pleased with the package I was given. A £5 Amazon book token and a choice of CD rom I went for an encyclopedia. They also have competitions to encourage people to sign up. I Signed up and told people ...  Read the complete review

As well as all this you can also pay £9.99/month and get a great deal more— Unlimited evening and weekend calls. And peak rates are also very cheap at 1p a minute. Compared to BT ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit as an ISP Line One offers a service that is reliable and I am constantly having people telling me that it is in fact one of the best. Well that may be However... There are a number of problems that some people have experinced. How do I know this because some of them come to me with their problems. Any potential ...  Read the complete review

Lineone Surftime is my primary ISP, and everyone should have a primary and secondary (or more) ISP's. Why? I hear you cry - simply becuase you can't afford to let your ISP go down, and have a REALLY important email not get to the office, school or whatever. I learn't the hard way, and nearly got sacked (It was a ...  Read the complete review

Join! - Advantages: Free offpeak reliable and fast access, No restrcitions, no cut off period (left connected for 14 solid hours once!), Never had to redial yet - Disadvantages: Recently, email has been slow to come down at the start of offpeak (6pm+), usually comes down quickly by 8/9pm

I have been with LineOne for ages, or so it seems. Some weeks ago I said here that the positive opinions on this ISP posted here all were from before April 2001, and that since mid-May LineOne had seriously gone downhill. Very happy, therefore, to report that around May 24 (2001) LineOne seems to have solved its problems. It is now ...  Read the complete review

I wanted unmetered internet usage and I don't mind paying a monthly fee if it will save me money on what it would cost in internet calls. The offer from Lineone suited me as it gives unlimited use evenings and weekends and peaktime calls at only 1p per minute (saving 3p per minute). This costs 9.99 per month which is half what I would have to pay ...  Read the complete review

I was one of the original Quip users paying £5 a month, sure the offer ended but most of us had our moneys worth so little point in moaning. The surftime deal is as good as any but the overall speed and connection rate is far better than any of the other providers. If tech help is required they actually answer your emails with proper solutions ...  Read the complete review
