Roco Posted February 3, 2008 CID Share Posted February 3, 2008 Pipex customers are now being moved over to the Tiscali servers ,and Pipex staff being laid off , it has it's pros and cons . my Pipex speed has risen by 30% but I have had a few disconnects , and no doubt I will have to put up with the offshore help line , sad times for Pipex as it was one of the earliest Broadband providers in the UK, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted February 3, 2008 CID Share Posted February 3, 2008 Best of luck with the new outfit Roco. And to all the others out there in the same sinking boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roco Posted February 3, 2008 Author CID Share Posted February 3, 2008 well I used to get the max of 1.9Mb down , now I am seeing 3.5 Mb +down , testing in the UK , and I may have had my download cap of 2 Gb removed , as Tiscali customers never had that applied , if this is the case I will stay for a while and see what happens , coz a 8Mb plan with no cap , for $26 USD a month would be hard to beat in the UK , BTW I never thought my old phone line would ever run these speeds ? I have been told for years that 2Mb would be it's limit , 02 Feb 2008, 10:38 Tiscali 8128 = 4008.Kbps 55% 79.66.89.140 776863 15 Jan 2008, 11:58 Pipex 8128. = 1941 Kbps 27% 81.178.101.134 763319 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
