Broadband & Telephone - 1 Company

[xtreme_boi]

Ok ever since I moved to this address I have been with BT for my telephone, did have a few problems but things smoothed out. Was on the option 1 package, and was paying about £20 inc VAT a month.

For my Broadband I am with Pipex, signed up to a 512k service. Last year that got upgraded to 1024k service, and was paying £23.44 inc VAT per month.

Total per month = £43.44, plus the odd few £'s when the BT 1/4 bill came thru.

I have now taken my homephone service, and broadband with a company call Pipex Homecall --> www.homecall.co.uk. It's a Pipex company (My ISP), but they bought a telephone company called Homecall.

So in a few days I will have this service:

• Anytime calls - UNLIMITED local & national calls, all day, every day
• Broadband speed of upto 8meg (but can only currently get 5.5meg in my area)
• Unlimited usage - no download limits!
• FREE Modem & connection - worth £85
• FREE Mobile option

All this for £29.99 inc VAT!

Now wouldn't you say that is a good dam offer?

Sounds alright....what's the catch??

LOL, this is quoted in the booklet I got thru post today

No hidden charges

But there is a 12 month contract, which is ok with me. As I have already been with BT for 2.5 years, and the same with Pipex.

i like the look of this deal, do you think anything will happen to you if you use p2p now and again, i mainly stick to torrent but use soulseek maybe a few times a week, anyone shed any light?

cheers

torrent is a form of P2P tiger so if they throttle it, torrents will be affected

They do have a fair usage policy.

I use Azureus a hell of a lot, and my current ISP - 'Pipex' have never given me problems with the amount I download.

So hopefully I won't have a problem with Pipex Homecall Broadband.
