They used to throw in the international calls but looks like you now have to
pay �2 for a "boost".

Yup - I just posted a link to a survey of 12,000 users which shows that TT's
customer service and tech support are fairly average.

It's up to you whether to believe that or comments from people many of whom
have probably never even used TT.
