pipex
i've had enough of bt pissing me about.so looking to change but havent got much choice sky or pipex really.i've not heard much good about sky.anyone use pipex wont give to give me the low down on them:thumb:
|
what do you mean havent got much choice?
What can you get at your exchange Samknows - Exchange search |
well that pissed on that.i can only get bt,sky,talk talk and aol
|
No, you can get all normal ADSL services through BT, I'm guessing you are looking at the LLU's enabled at your exchange. Pipex is still an option but wouldnt be my choice, what is your budget/useage requirements?
|
i'm on bt option 3 at the moment so around the same
|
I could recommend Zen and IDnet but for £25 per month and with 20gig useage (Zen) and 30 gig useage (IDnet) IIRC. No call bundle there though.
Broadband At Home IDNet Broadband | Home and Home Office Broadband Services How much do you download each month, one of the Enta resellers may be a better bet if you do a lot. Sky BB could also be an option for you thinkbroadband :: The UK's largest independent Broadband / ADSL comparison & review website to have a lok at:) |
Ive used Pipex for several years. Currently on up to 8mbit (although get about 6.5 max) for £14.99 a month (which works pays for anyway so doesnt mean much to me). Never had any network outages of note (and I play online a lot) and whenever I have had to ring up their Customer Service they have answered very quickly and been very helpful.
They use to use my companies backbone (alter.net) as we used to own them back in the day. Not sure if they still do tbh as lost track of who has bought who. Simon |
I believe Tiscali bought Pipex this year!

One thing to note, Pipex throttle all P2P connections even encrypted ones, so if you are into that dont bother !
I have been with them for a few years service is fine but overpriced, so may be going to Be soon. |

PIPEX dropped from £25 to £15 straight away to match that. Better the devil you know and all that. Simon |
cheers all plenty to have a look around:thumb:

Strange as with Utorrent I regularly get up to 800KB/sec combined.

We were with Pipex but found them a tad expensive, to be fair there were no outtages and customers services were good. Having said that when we moved they became a farce and were completely unhelpfull so we moved to Zen and haven't looked back! :thumb:

i find pipex very reliable and good for gaming.
also have no problem on p2p. i think it was limited atone point, but enable encrytion seemed to fix it for me |
I am with pipex at the minute, they have been very good until just recenatly when I am loosing quite alot of emails!, they are having some major issues at the minute, I have the same problem at work as well (also in pipex) but more serious at work as loosing emails could mean lost sales, currently looking at our options!! There has been no improvment in the last 3 week!!
Must say they have been perfect up until the last few weeks |
