I have been a happy Pipex customer for years, most unhappy customers seem to be the ones who joined after they decided to try and offer combined services.My point is that the way things are going eventually there will be no such thing as a 'pure' ISP and it will become harder to find access that isnt subject to shaping etc.

If this is how the net is going to evolve then maybe its time to get out, I dont want the Internet to be a 'shopping mall' sanitised experience with security guards telling me I cant do something/go somewhere because of an ISP policy.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted ...
