How good is the Pipex Solo broadband service
I have just spoken to a salesman at Pipex about their Solo broadband service. It sounds impressive.
For £23.44 a month and no connection fee I can have a 24/7 service that is "40 times faster than a 56k modem".
All I need to do is buy a £129 ADSL modem, wait about 10 days for the order to be processed then use the net for as long as I like.
With BT Anytime charging me £14.99 for anything but anytime, I get about 40 minutes day of useful service before it slows down, stalls for up to 10 mins at a time and cuts me off constantly after two hours.
No contest I reckon. But I would welcome any advice from existing Pipex users. The usual reward of pints at the Gatbash on June 29 will apply.
Note: this message took about three minutes to type and about 20 minutes to send. The BT link had stalled and I had to wait for them to put another 20p in the meter.
cheers SS
