Pipex and wireless router

I have been with pipex for about two years now.(called homcall when I joined)

I have 1MB broadband and phone.

I phones up pipex asking about wireless routers and they want £30 for one. How could I get one for free? (I only need a wireless router for my new ps3)

Please help

    If you're with Pipex, my only advice to you would be change to over to another ISP. Bet you are paying soemthing ridiculous like £20 for 1MB.

    Loads of ISPs offer free wireless routers including Sky (who give netgear) and o2 (who give a speedtouch one) which would be sufficient for ur router. You'd also get more than 1MB - I can assure you that much! Why not go over to one of those and get much better speeds plus a free router.

    P.S Pipex's routers are rubbish. I had one that they sent to me when I joined them, within 2 months, I spent £120 on a new wireless router which did the job very well.
