Do I need a MAC code even though my current provider is IPStream?

If moving to a bundled service, no.

Do the Talk Surf packages have an off peak period?

Nope.. That may happen in the future though, just not as yet - but drop us a query via the site for more details as I don't want to steer this thread off course.

Do you have any experience with torrents? Are they unusable? Occasionally I might want to use torrent for something but not constantly.

PiKe,

If you do go with TT and you are put on full LLU that should be fine. If however you are not and remain on IP stream due to either TT's incompetence or exchange issues then you should be able to cancel within the first few weeks, without any penalty, and not have the hassle of having to be reconnected to BT's kit.

Just be certain to check whether you are LLU'd or not after you go live with TT otherwise getting your account and connection sorted out could be a nightmare. TT's pricing is obviously very attractive but there are certainly pitfalls that one must be aware of.

Best of luck (personally I would go with a TT LLU reseller, more expensive, but potentially less of a hassle.)

Just worked out what I'm paying and what I could be paying

BT/Enta: £440 a year
'TT Plus' + £50 Quidco: £184
Xilo: £287

So tempted, Xilo haven't replied to either my email I sent Friday or the post on their forum which isn't great, I thought their support was one of their strong selling points?

PiKe,

I checked out xilo/uno earlier this year and was offered a really good deal by uno broadband sales but I didn't take it, however others did and were/are very happy with the service. I think it was a 50GB per month deal that I didn't need and they couldn't offer me a cheaper deal with a lower monthly usage limit, e.g. 20-25GB.

Yeah my workings are based on the TalkSurf 50gb package.
