I have just taken out a package with my orange mobile phone package; free braodband & wireless modem

Looks like a similar package

Bad timing , my ISP( E7even) went bust last year and I have just signed up for 12 months with their replacement company . I have discovered the hard way cheapest is not always best when it comes to ISP's . Sky should be ok I as its a large outfit.

So do I, Sky bought Easynet to do this a very very very good business ISP. Shame they are going to destroy that name.

Guys, anyone had any experience with Pipex Homecall - The house we are buying is B listed so cant have Sky, no Cable in the area, and the women selling has the above in already - owned by the Caudwell group, and as far as I remember Pipex seem to get good reviews?!

I used Pipex until I moved last year. Service was very good but they were more expensive than others, that's the only reason I switched.

I used to use Pipex also. The customer service was cronic and I ultimately found out that they hadn't upgraded me and were still charging £24 for 1Mbps.
Now binned them for Newnet on that flexi 8Mbps thingy (can't remember the proper term). Cheaper at £17 but very inconsistent with speeds never over 2Mbps and often around 1Mbps. Also frequent diso's in the evening.
When I can be @rsed, I'll be looking around for something else.
My bro' recently went with BT. As a matter of principal I have avoided them, but he has had great service and very fast speeds for the same money more or less.
