I was asking a week ago about which broadbad provider ppl use. Glad I took the advice offered by Chiark and others. Just installed PIPEX and it is excellent.
Great communication from PIPEX and all installed and working within eight days.

Cheers

No worries. Thanks for putting my name forward for referral - that's one month paid for! If anyone on scoobynet joins, we ought to really be referring each other on a "rota" basis - it's something for nothing, which is unusual in this day and age

The service is blinding, innit?

Ta, I've replied with what you need to know.

Basically, if you're signing up to pipex you can say who recommended pipex to you, and they'll get a month's free subscription.

It costs you (the new recruit ) nothing and means someone somewhere gets something for free. Which is nice
Cheers,
Nick.

I also read starsrucks thread last week and from the feed back you guys gave I opted for Pipex, switched on within 7 days excellent comunication from them, for a measley £2 a week more than I was paying with Tiscali 24/7, 56K dial up (more like 46K) with a 2 hour cut off.

Cheers guys SN wins again
