Default pipex broard band what a joke

pipex broardband

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

what a CON

ok have been with these for a year or so and had one problem, lost my account details etc, so loads of emails and trying to get throug on the phone and getting know where , so decide to cancell as dont belive i am geting a good service and was costing too much.
dont know why i went for a unlimited downlod as i could never suss out ( you know this bit torrent/ rapid shar etc) it was costing me £23.49/ month for 1 meg un capped , so i rang to cancell and they said

you have never used a gig in a month so a capped would be better for you, so i will put you on a 2 meg / 15 gig cap @£14.99, you will get your origanal month in advance @£23.49 back plus 1 month free

sounds good i thought ( oh yes got my account details as well) , well 3 month on and no refund or month free and loads of emails and trying to phone , then they say this

I have looked into your account and can confirm that your free months service will be valid from 28/12/06 until 27/01/07. I can also confirm that no pro-rata refund is due as there is no overlapping of invoices on your account during your re-grade.


0h yes i also find that they recon i have singed up for a further 12 months contrac, they never tod me this and i knew nothing about it, so i say you you never said this and i want to cancell, you have fed bee a load of bull and you do ow me this money and i want to cancell and this is what they say


Dear Sir,



Thank you for your email.



The termination of your broadband connection will incur a cancellation fee as you are still within your contract period. The cancellation fee will consist of the remaining months on your contract.



If you wish to cancel this service please reply to this email.



If you have any further enquiries please do not hesitate to contact us.



Kind regards,

Suleiman Mustafa

so as far as i can see, can cancell but pay for the service, dont get the money back they owd me if fact fed me a load of bull and conned me.

DONT BELIVE THEM AND WHEN I CAN GO I WILL

but hay they have got my money and when i cancell there will always be others

Teddy

I am with Tiscali, so far no problems, I have up to 8 meg and get 6 meg, although my dl stops at about 500k, but thays enough .

However I am still trying to get money back from Bulldog, which HAS to be worse that pipex (thinking about it, didn't they take over bulldog) but I have been waiting 7 months for £70 to be repaid. I have finally made a proper complaint, so hopefully soon, if not I will be calling their head office and getting a response that way.

Exclamation Re: pipex broard band what a joke

i agree pipex are in my view the worst isp i was with them for over 2 years and had nothing but trouble. cust reps where rude and really couldn't care one man i spoke to sounded like a typical "chav" from a council estate and spoke to me in such manner aswell! constant disconnection, always slow... tried leaving and obtaining my mac code it took them 3 months to give me it!

People beware keep a very very wide birth from pipex
