Broadband provider Tiscali has announced it is extending a free set-up offer on one of its internet deals.

Customers now have until October 4th to enjoy free set-up, email, anti-virus and anti-spam – as well as dedicated around-the-clock- support – on the company's broadband-only package.

In addition, the deal offers connection speeds of up to 8Mb and unlimited downloads, as well as a free modem.

Subscribers also only pay £6.49 a month for the first three months of the deal, with the price rising to £14.99 thereafter.

Earlier this month, Tiscali confirmed that it was cutting the installation fee charged on its broadband, digital TV and home phone packages.

People who choose to take up the triple play deals now only pay £30 for installation, rather than the previous charge of £90.
