Up until now I thought pipex were great.
So I switched from pipex go 2mb (even though it says 'upto 8mb) to Pipex Max 8mb.
This was a week ago, after a day I told them my speed had not gone up at all, infact speedtest results were same as before, about 1930kbps, so they said its a bt problem, will be fixed by next day, ring back then if not sorted by afternooon.
So I rang back as theres still no change, this time I'm told its due to fluctuation you get in 1st ten days of usage, every day I disconnect and reconnect my router several times and do a speedtest, everytime its pretty much bang on the 1930kbps mark, so its clearly not fluctuating.
I've a friend who works 2nd line support for another major isp, and he actually made me an account that has access to same documents as there 2nd line support so I could make sure that pipex cannot try and palm me off with rubbish info.
I think I'm correct in saying that for the 1st ten days everytime you connect the exchange will connect you at different speeds to try and and determine the maximum you can achieve without loss, yet my speedtest results are consistently the same as before they upgraded me, yet when I phone pipex up I get the same old "its the ten day fluctuation period" and then the icing on the cake "call back in ten days", I pointed out that I'm paying for a service that I'm not getting, and they are clearly telling me porkies, if they said "sorry our mistake, it may take a few days to activate the 8mb" then I would not mind, but I just know that after ten days I'll ring up and they will finally either admit there mistake or do something about it while covering up there mistake, so I'll have to wait even longer.
5 days ago I asked them if I could speak to a supervisor as I wish to talk to them about it, and they said I'd be phoned back within 24 hours, that has not happened, and when I tell them that in that case I want my mac code, they say if I do then my bank account will immediately be billed for the 12 month contract that I had to take to get my service from Pipex go (upto 8mb but only 2 for some reason) to Pipex Max (upto 8mb, but allowing me 8mb).
Anyone got any ideas what to do, as there clearly spinning me a yarn with the fluctuation thing, as I've never seen such stable speed results.
