I have got my BT line reconnected in preperation and NTL are offering freebies to stay!
Cheers in advance!

Well from a longish standind Pipex customer - myself have been on their 512 service for over a year.
Stability and reliability is ace and have been notified of any possible outages well in advance via e-mail mostly for a minute tops while BT carry out work at the exchange although it has never noticably affected me.
Email has yet to fail in 12 months plus never had to call their customer services so no comment there.
As for the 1meg service i took for a while on a trial basis and it was bursty and went from 90 to 130 and jumped alot so gave up on the trial after 1 month as i was and am getting a steady 70-80 plus on the 512 service.
Although I am told it is a lot better now and stable on the 1 meg service and constantly hits 120 plus.
I guess there are a lot of varying factors depending on location and number of users but from in sunny Wales cannot fault it at all with Pipex.
Although I liked the one months free offer after being a customer for 12 months and also managed to get three months free for introducing friends but sadly but those offers have gone now.
