I don't doubt that, but Pipex is in the process of selling their residential broadband division to TIscali, so don't expect it to be any good in the future. And personally I don't trust something like BT which is only there to transfer money from their customers to their shareholders, there are a number of smaller ISPs who genuinely provide good service - otherwise they'd lose all their customers. I'm with Entanet (via UKFSN, http://www.ukfsn.org) and happy with them (and there's the additional bonus that part of the profits are used to fund open source projects). Get something with one month contract, so if it isn't as good as it should be it's no difficulty to go away (and remember that now you can change ADSL ISP without paying a new activation fee in most cases) C _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
