Tiscali repackage broadband packages for Christmas 
Just in time for Christmas, Tiscali have given their broadband packages a revamp, so that all of their customers can now enjoy up to 8Mbps download speeds regardless of what package they subscribe to.
Customers previously on the 2Mbps package that came with free weekend and evening calls will be migrated to the Option 1 package (8Mbps, 5GB download limit), whilst customers on the standalone 2Mbps package will be moved to Option 2 (8Mbps, 10GB download limit). 8Mb Unlimited customers will be largely unaffected by the move, as Option 3 offers pretty much the same – 8Mbps speeds with an unlimited download limit.
What’s changed is that Tiscali are no longer giving away the USB modem with their basic package – this has instead been replaced with a wireless router, which is available to Option 2 and Option 3 surfers for a one-off £20 upgrade fee. Presumably Tiscali are keen to push wireless solutions in an effort to facilitate the growth of their IPTV service throughout 2008.

Furthermore, USB devices are not ideal for 8Mbps DSL services anyway – since they struggle to maintain a stable connection at faster speeds (above 2Mbps). At least USB modems may finally begin to disapear from the market in favour of the more suitable and robust router alternatives.

I agree. USB hardware isn’t ideal for high-rate data transfer, hence their inability to handle anything above 2Mbps. ISPs must have known this, I think it’s criminal that they’ve been able to sell customers technology which they known full well won’t allow customers to get anything near 8Mbps.
