Although those of you that have already made the jump to the ISP which alledgedly provides top quality customer service, mail that actually works, a reliable service, and clicked for a real ISP won't be able to see this, those who are thinking about it might want to take a look at:

Since the very early hours of this morning Pipex customers have lost connectivity. Not some, all of them, with a very few exceptions. Also no mail, and the Pipex website has been down too intermittently. Due to the failure of a single network component.

Think the words are 'resiliency' and 'single point of failure'.

Just thought I'd best mention this for those concerned, for whatever faults ntl may have single points of failure that kill all customers connectivity 100% are not one of the added features.
