2mb Pipex

When are Pipex gonna roll out a 2b service for home users, they used to be
the leader in the isp price wars but lately have fallen behind most other UK
suppliers, so come on Pipex pull your socks up.
I can get a 2mb service for the price you charge for 1mb.

They can't release such a product until they've decided what way they
wish to go with BTWholesale's new Central pricing options (CBC and UBC).
Running such a service over standard pricing would work out to be very
expensive (since it would need to be done over office 2000 products, as
the home product isnt in beta yet).

The current "cheap" 2mbit products are generally ran over office 2000
CBC connections (sold as 50:1 and likely to be regraded to that when the
product becomes available), or in the case of some very cheap providers,
Data[scream/stream].

2mb trial on!

There 1mb product with no caps is still looking overpriced and I happen to
be on it! I'm hopefully going to apply for the trial tomorrow. In the mean
time sleep!

I've registered. It asked for an upgrade fee of £15 plus vat on the
web site but in the confirmation email it said customers of longer
than 12 months don't have to pay it. I queried with Pipex accounts
and they said I won't be charged.

The company is paying the monthly charge. I used to bill them for
anything between £90 and £110 per month for call charges when on dial
up modem access so they are still getting a good deal....

How long after signing up did you get the confirmation email?
Signed up yesterday but not heard anything yet.
