Well big
to Pipex as they have followed NTLs lead in giving their customers a free double speed increase.
Linky
here
Although no build up and minimal leak of information just an e-mail to their customers announcing the speed increases.
And no sneaky hidden CAPS in there as well just a doubling of speed for which ever package applies.
For any Pipex customers amongst us there is also a gain to be had here as well as the upgrades are due to roll out shortly †“ basically if for instance you are currently on the 512 service you will eventually be upgraded to 1mb but there is an option to pay a one off £15 fee to be upgraded instantly but you will actually get 2MB up until the time that BT actually visit the exchange and manually drop it back down.
Not technically sure how it works but apparently the upgrade is remotely done and then reconfigured when Pipex pass the details to BT who manually adjust the exchange settings.
