OK, which numpty said Pipex were good ...
We have a 2 Meg leased line for the Internet ... originally with XO networks.
These guys got taken over by GX Networks .... been with them for 3 years, no serious problems .... then Pipex bought them out....
Over the last 2-3 months, we have lengthy outages, including today

Apparently a core router had/has a problem, and our link has been bouncing for the last 3 hours ...
NOT IMPRESSED.
So for all those who are about to, or are already with Pipex .....
DON'T DO IT/CHANGE SUPPLIER
