Well, for one thing, it appears that Tiscali is a DSL provider, not a cable
provider, so you're in the wrong newsgroup.
But either way, whether it's DSL or cable, your modem needs to be compatible
with their system. If they say that only their modems are compatible, then
that's the final word. You can't make them change their network or policies
just for you. You're not talking about dial-up. Both DSL and cable are
essentially big LAN's, and what equipment is connected directly to the LAN
is up to the network administrators.
To get a better answer, I would suggest going to a DSL group. If you get
cable, come back here.
