i've been waiting for about 2 years now
although that's nothing compared to how long you have had to (and will have to) wait

this is what it says on the pipex site for my order status:

"BT have confirmed to us that your line should be enabled for ADSL during 10/09/2003. A precise installation time during the day cannot be guaranteed but work will normally be completed by the end of the business day."

should i be using the connection or not?
more to the point, should i be using the connection for downloading 'stuff'?

:blink:

well I spose my 17 bucks a month for 5 gig is still good atm

rather then paying 100 bucks for 512 with 1 gig cap :huh:

They might charge you an extra 75p for using it a day early.

No, seriously, it is BT who turn it on, it is BT who are using a little bit extra electricity, and it is BT who are losing out on a day's traffic at wholesale rates, so I don't think Pipex are going to mind, and I doubt if BT will even know.

it works out at £23.44 per month for a 512k 'unmetered' service for me
the newsgroup support is supposed to be excellent for Pipex too, i found this page, which tells you all the newsgroup posts for last 24 hours
