zee · Jun 19, 2006

Now free to leave aol now....have been looking at pipex as my domains are with 123reg...pipex start looks ok at £14.99 plus pipex talk 3000 [50 hours] of 01 or 02 calls for only £4.99 extra....seems fair....anyone tried..also as I have moden 2 x £14.99 free.months.
Q. if anyone has it ,is 3000 minutes ,divided up per day...or use what you want each day.....tried their website for enquires...does not work proper.....? a bad omen?..........z

I used to use pipex, and its fine until you want to talk to support - then its awful. One month I spent more on phone charges to Pipex then the monthly adsl charge was!

At the moment I'm using fast.co.uk who are most helpful. The one time I had to ring up support to change my CC details, the phone was answered in 2-3 rings. I've not had any reason to call them since, as I've had no noticeable downtime in over a year. I have a dedicated IP, and a web/mail/... server running from home with no problems

Very few hops.

www.zen.co.uk I heard is good.

Don't forget Zen, expensive but worth it, no problems and support are fast and friendly, 100x better than my old plus.net account. Good peering network too.

Edit: Just saw Whois-Search recommend them too, apologies
