Wanted fast ISP for on line play??

Hi All,




I currently with Pipex 1meg Solo and due their "could not give a crap
attitude" I'm looking for another ISP.




Pipex cripple bittorrent, As a linux and Unix user thats bad but that was
easy to get around ;0). I also play on line games and get terrible lag with
Pipex (my mate joins the same game under Demon and gets no lag).




Also Pipex offers a much better package for new customers but I can't have
it??? So stuff them they lose out not me.




They have poor customer support as it takes over a week for them to reply to
emails and then it's just a cut'n'paste reply (the last email took 10 days
to reply to).




Demon are offering for £20 a 2meg unlimited (yeah right) package, this is
what my mates on but they will not handle migration for that package. They
called and said I can migrate to the £25 package instead (it look like they
include a wireless router)




So I looking for a ISP thats fast for on line play, around 2Meg and I don't
mind starting a new 12 month contract if a wireless ADSL router is included.




With so many ISP's out there any that fit the about bill? (fast on line
speed is a must :0) ), currently I'm thinking Demon but the fact I can't
migrate to the £20 package puts me off (thats assuming if Pipex plays ball
and gives me a MAC code when I ask :0/ )




Thanks All

The new packages *are* available to current customers....

Post some IP addresses for game servers that you frequently use and
ask for pings / traceroutes from other users. This should help you
work out what's quick and what's not.

How? I rang them last week and they said "no" ... or is it a case of
depending on who you get through to?

Really????

I got off the phone to them after a 35 minute wait, the answer was send them
a fax and see what they can do, I have no fax I told them
the guy said go to a corner store lol.

I said it would be easier if you just gave me a MAC code, so "maybe" you can
have the same package - if your willing to do all that.

And yes it had to be a fax, no email, no phone

Pipex Support is very poor, and they didn't say I could have the same
package.
