I requested my MAC from Pipex on Monday at 4:30pm, and got it today (Wednesday) at 1:00pm by text and auto-phone message.

My Mac came today by post, requested on Monday. No new deal sorted yet.

Take a look at IDNet, an excellent small ISP like Newnet, I have been with them for over 3 years.

They have from 1st February doubled their limits, 30 day contract, excellent support, no throttling.

Thanks, I'll have a look at that.

I was on a 2Gb limit with Pipex, but didn't realise I used in excess of that as they never charged me for going over the limit in the 8 years I was with them and I didn't have a bandwidth meter until I decided to move.

I have been considering moving to Be Value, but can't do that until my exchange is ADSL2+ enabled which is due to happen by 30 March 2010. Nice to have another option, especially one without a 12 month contract.

I requested my MAC today and will be moving to Be Value.

Luci & Rafter, can I ask your reasons for looking at Be Value rather than O2 Standard? I've been trying to decide between the 2 myself. The upside of O2 for me is larger cashback, the downside is the O2 mobile side of things to get the same price.

Cheers!

Oh poo! We can't get BE Broadband.

My reason is the downside you have stated, I dont use a mobile phone so works out better for me to go with Be Value.

The reason I wouldn't go for O2 is that I've have read numerous times that O2 Access is pants and there are no LLU providers at my exchange.

I only changed to NewNet in December, but I'm struggling to stay under 3GB a month. Otherwise I like them.

BE Value would be almost half the price with a 40GB limit if I could get ADSL2+ so I just hope the offer is still on once my exchange has been upgraded.

I'm quite shocked at Pipex I just rang up to get my MAC code because they have hiked mine from £9.99 to £18.98 (I got one of the letters!:eek:) for broadband and anytime calls - having been with them for about 4 years they never even bothered to try and offer me a better deal?? So I'm like right I'm off then! :rotfl:

I'm guessing they are going to be losing a lot of customers! Unless people just put up with it? Not Mser's!! :money:
