Heh, Ive been on PIPEX 512Kb for 4-5 years now.

Going to Be ADSL2+ on the 27th.  They estimate 5Mb, Id be in heaven for that alone.

Not one to piss on your bonfire, but if your sync rate on ADSL Max is 512kbps then youre not going to get 5Mbps on ADSL2+, more like 1-2Mbps.

However, if youre on a fixed rate product / capped line / capped by ISP then go for it

look at this for dl speed

And thanks to the wonders of modern technology, I can now get this in the house!

LOL, I wasnt expecting that anyway.  Ive got 1.7 out of it so far, which Im chuffed with.  And that is on a huge feck off extension lead.

Mate of mine was on Pipex until a couple of weeks back.  He was getting the glorious speed of 1Mb, about 300 yards from his telephone exchange.  If they set it any higher it fell over and refused to work.  Hes had BT in to test he cables, and they returned a "No Fault Found", then billed him accordingly.  Just swapped over to O2, and hes on 20Mb.  So much for Pipexs initial, "you are too far from the exchange", followed by "your cabling is at fault".  There was a fault on their side somewhere, and they refused to admit they had any problems.

Lift and shift needed imo

Get rid of the extension lead and use a long ethernet cable, you may be surprised what a difference it makes.

I figured from that it was either the tie pairs, or the actual MSAN in the exchange that had a fault.  Literally the instant he moved over it jumped to 20Mb.  

LOL, I just altered my speed to 2.7Mb by altering a simple radio button I didnt notice before.

I did the same by asking a lady at O2 to do the same
3.2mb to 4.4, Snr changed to 3.
