Hi,
I'm interested in the 150k or 250k packages to replace my dialup connection, but I like to use file swapping software, such as Winmx and EMule, just wondering they might be blocked by Pipex on their budget offerings, the way Plusnet do. I notice newsgroup access isn't available as standard, and also saw somewhere on there site a message saying something like "not suitable for downloading mp3s", which seems alittle odd, considering I'm reasonably happy downloading mp3s on my dialup connection, which I thought SHOULD be slower. Anyone know if P to P gets blocked? I can't see it mentioned on the site or in the FAQ.
Also, anyone know if the 150k and 250k packages could actually be slower than 56k? I'm alittle worried they could be, after learning I could be sharing my maximum bandwidth with potientially 19 other people, and things like Emule seem to use 2-3k/s constantly, without any downloading taking place.
Thanks in advance
p.s. Anyone know how much extra newsgroup access is? Couldn't find that info either
