Cool

I am thinking of getting the ADSL Pipex broadband connection. Has anybody got it fitted and what is it like?

Cheers,

Craig.

Thumbs up

Brilliant

I've had no problems with them, been on about 2 months now.
Quick and reliable service so far.

Drop me an email if you decide to go with them, I get a free month for recommending you

dam you bet me to it. was going too ask to recommend me.

Pipex are good, they had a few problems when broadband first came out but everythings fine now. I Use it to play games online, download stuff and even playing my playstation 2 online. I've had no problem with them. Think theyve even shortened the time to activate broadband, used to be 10 days but my mate who just joined got it done in less then a week.

I wouldnt touch em with a barge pole. It took them 3 months to even recognise there was a problem with my broadband - 6.5 K/s isnt normal despite what the telephone monkeys say. I had to spend my own cash buying other equipment to check and diagnose it, even going as far as new router etc.

Lost calls, people not ringing back etc etc. Told em to stuff it and moved to Nildram - absolutly A1. After i changed my login and password, no other details, it flew. Went from 6K to a consistant 47Kish per second.

The final insult was they charged me 50 quid to leave. Cheeky barstewards.

I was so pi**ed off that I moved all my users (approx 20) from Pipex to Nilly and even THEY notice the diff.

If you want ADSL, I cant recommend Nildram enough and warn you off pipex enough.

After I ordered, USB modem arrived the next day, ADSL was activated 6 days later. Mail server has been down a couple of times, apart from that not a problem.

Would recommend and indeed two mates of mine are on Pipex with no problems.
