To be honest i would avoid them like the plague, but it depends what package you went for but they will have to send you a router of some kind and to be honest its more the likely going to come with a wireless oruter for one simple reason all the other companys are.
When we joined they gave a USB modem. I am considering sticking with them and have asked for a wireless router for staying. I am still waiting.

You get a cheap and tacky modem. Tiscali used to be so good but many people in many areas get slow speeds and I couldn't wait to be shot of them after a year. For the extra �2 a month I am on Pipex which is excellent and very fast.......best thing to do is to do a google search of Tiscali (and all ISP's) and read the critical comments before signing up with any of them.
