Hi guys,

There appears to have been a bit of confusion about the merging of
product sets and identities with PIPEX. This was mostly due to our error
(sorry!), and Henry has had his wrist slapped!

Anyway! We're not merging products with PIPEX, we're not moving offices,
we're keeping the same identity, products, systems, and staff (no, I
haven't left, and yes, you're very much stuck with me).

We're keeping everything the same. Only now we have more backing and
access to even more infrastructure and resources, which should help us
in our bid for world domination (due about tea time tomorrow if my
calendar is to be believed).

Now if the cynics and worriers would like to come to the fore and ask
any questions, I'll do my best to answer them (hopefully I'll do a
better job than last time when I said that )

Regards,

Stephen

Funny - Tiscali said exactly this when they took over LineOne. A few
months later, they pulled the Supernews feed and replaced it with
their own in-house news server, the worst piece of crap server I've
ever had the misfortune to connect to.

They own you. *They* are keeping things the same ATM. They can do what
they like with you.

A CV should always be up to date.... Don't wait for the bean
counters.

I had a bason full of Localtel before they came along anyway looks
like Freedom2Surf customers can look forward to their service going
down hill fast now .But who is there to turn to ? Telewest get took
over by NTL Pipex get hold F2S and BSkyB get hold of Easynet.
There isn't going to be a decent ISP left in the country before much
longer .
