UK ISP Pipex has launched a new budget price broadband ADSL package from £8.95 per month for the first three months, and £14.99 per month thereafter - Pipex Mini.

The package offers speeds of up to 8Mbps and a 2GB data usage cap, not to mention a lengthy 12 month contract:


Tiscali recently acquired Pipex for a cool £210m, subject to approval. The new package, which is similar to Tiscali's own products, could be seen as laying the ground work for more forthcoming changes.

It’s understood that Tiscali intends to transfer Pipex’s customers onto its own network in the future, although how this will affect existing packages is unclear. Customers that pay for the service provided by Pipex, Nildram and Bulldog etc. would like to see them stay intact.
