When we called the Bulldog technical support line this morning, an agent dodged the question of where the service would go, until eventually denying that support would be offshored.
Pipex refused to offer up a similar denial, and wouldn't address our questions about why customers were being told categorically that technical support would stay in the UK.
In a statement, it said: "Pipex has no plans to reduce the level of support for customers with a Bulldog service nor has it any plans to change the way that the customer can contact the support teams."
