Tiscali seem to have done an excellent job of pissing off customers and investors alike. They throttled customers’ bandwidth preventing use of iTunes and online gaming, then shook up an already nervous customer base by covertly moving them over to their LLU network to save costs (causing further technical aggravation).

When the BBC launched their iPlayer, Tiscali was one of the loudest ISPs in saying that the BBC should also pay for Tiscali to upgrade their network to cope with the demand, effectively taxing your TV license fees to keep investors happy. Techies aren’t happy with that whole debate.

And talking of investors, Tiscali’s most recent acquisition is Excite Italia for over a million quid. Analysts aren’t impressed, considering it a complete waste of money.

So will Tiscali have any customers and investors left? What’s to sell?
