- Are Pipex any good?
- Posted by Mutley on September 1st, 2004
hi there,
just looking at Pipex and I was wondering if anyone else use them? I'm
thinking about going for the 512 package they have...
Thanks for your time...
Mutley.

their crap n/g service and then enquired about my connection when i
moved house they said i could not transfer me connection with me which

another year i notified them of intent to cancel on 6 july and the
still took a payment out on tyhe 10th july i do know that i had to
give 30 days but i thought they would bend this rule considering they
had been ripping me off (i was not getting complete n/g service) i
moved house on the 16th july and they refuse to give me a refund
because BT cancelled my line to transfer it to my new house and
because BT did this they say i broke my contract (This Stinks)
So they got a mouthful on the phone and i will not be signing with
them any more and my advice to all who complain to them about their
service is to boycot them (Move On To A Better Service) i am now with
ZEN £27.99 per mth With 1 Mth Contract (so if things go pear shaped
with them they will get the push
Anyone else had any problems please lets here them

I've had no problems with pipex. I do not use binary newsgroups and the text
news server is fast.
I've never had to contact support.
My only wish is they reduce the price of their 1mb unlimited tariff.

Me too. If you want to use their newsgroups then the text news
server is fine. I've had no problems with Pipex - 1 year I've
been with them.

Ignore this illiterate fool. He seems to be peddling his anti-Pipex
nonsense in a few groups. He basically did not read the T&Cs and is
now whingeing because he fell foul of them.
Pipex are fine, I use them and have no probs at all. Thoroughly
recommended.

Sooner, if my experience is anything to go by - 5 days sooner to be exact
:-)
Plug the modem in, and as soon as the lights stop blinking you`re on !

Should really explain further. If you are only connecting 1 PC then
the USB jobbie is fine, just make sure you have a software firewall
(ZoneAlarm for instance) installed. I still use ZA for its Program
Control functionality in conjunction with the NAT firewall in the
router.
I have the router as I have 4 PCs + an XBox to connect.
Not a clue about the BT router btw! Sorry

Late delivery from the previous day? Post here only arrives after
noon has passed. Previously called "snail mail" which was really fast

As I see it the good points of Pipex are that they are cheap, no connection fee
and free USB modem.
Also if you take the !GB service you can upgrade to the unlimited service within
the 1st year without breaking the contract.
One downside is that from what I have learnt they dont do any email filtering.
(I use BTinternet dial up at the moment and the email filtering service is
really quite useful though it did have some hiccups at the beginning of this
year.)

I see that as an upside. I prefer to be in control of what email comes
