Just had the installation engineer round only to find that my downstream bandwidth is only 2.3 meg. He tells me that they usually need about 3.5.
Prior to signing up for the service, I asked Tiscali on a number of occasions whether my line would support TTV and the answer (both verbally and via e-mail) was "no problem". Having checked these forums, I've also seen suggestions that 2.5 meg may be sufficient.
He's left the gear at our place because they may be able to do something to tweak the line but, even if they can, it seems to be a borderline case.
It's a shame to have hopes raised and to get so many conflicting statements. I hope that Tiscali sales people aren't using TTV as a carrot to snag customers at any price.
Shame, I was quite looking forward to the SkyArts channel.
