Tiscali has caused a bit of a stir with it's traffic management and has been forced to reverse a software installation after a mass of complaints.

The problem happened when engineers installed an upgrade on it's Cisco kit last week but saw customers complaining of  poor speeds due to it's traffic management, applications to suffer included iTunes P2P and Usenet. During peak times, 5pm and 9pm, some broadband users were getting speeds of 10Kbps while others found many sites blocked.

The problem arose as Tiscali and one of those ISPs who enforce traffic management especially during peak periods, while many think that this is unfair it's got to be remembered that the price that Tiscali offers 'unlimited' broadband would be unviable without it.

Althought this problem first came to light last week it seems the Tiscali engineers are still trying to fix them problems.
