Pipex have just bought up yet another competitor, (Freedom2Surf), I am getting ever-so-close to the magic 24Mb/s Super-Duper-faster-internet.

Unfortunately, Pipex have also changed their Acceptable Use Policy which aims to stop people taking the piss when downloading, anyone caught doing so will be sent an email/letter, advising them, they are downloading too much and are given 2 weeks to "change their ways", if it continues they are then sent a final email before they have their Internet service "Managed" or given the option to leave Pipex without being charged.

Although Pipex haven't disclosed what defines "taking the piss", it seems to be roughly downloading 50-100Gb per month. Luckily I don't quite reach this amount, (I haven't had the email...Yet), But when they introduce ADSL2+, My downloads will be 12 times faster which equates to downloading a DVD every 30 minutes (hmmm). This means reaching the acceptable monthly usage after just 10 hours.

We'll See...
