Was with this company for 5 years, would say two of these years was pretty good, when unlimited was unlimited, then it just went downhill from there, I would be classed as a heavy user, as I was informed by Pipex, and I would probably agree with that, I asked what would be required to limit my usage so as not to affect other users, they said as long as I restrict any large file downloads to off peak hours, there wouldnt be a problem! I didn't have a problem with this request and so did what they asked, next thing I get a letter saying I'm having a depremental effect on other users, hmmm! I phoned and asked how this was possible given the fact that I was downloading larger files during the night between 12am and 8am, they didnt have an answer to that one, the indian guy just said he can only go from what is written down in front of him, wonder what that was, maybe the beano or some comic book of similar content, I didnt sign the letter they wanted me to send back requiring that I adhere to there Not so Fair Usage Policy and in the process of not signing it i got another letter saying if I didn't sign the letter and restrict my already restricted downloads, my service would be suspended, that was the last straw, I phoned and asked for a MAC code, and am now in the process of migrating to a new isp, who incedently, I phoned today and asked if they would have a problem with me downloading larger files during the night between 12 and 8.
They didn't have a problem with this, I'm just really glad to be shot of this sorry excuse for an ISP, one thing I would say to anyone thats thinking about joining this ISP, stay away at all costs, just do a search on PIPEX on the forums, that should be enough to make you change your minds.
