I'm going over to Nildram at the end of June (When my 12 month contract runs out...).
I'm well aware that Pipex owns Nildram, but like you say, they don't seem to have interfered with their running… yet.
What attracts me to them over Pipex is the absence of port-throttling, the unlimited off-peak downloading and no 12 month contract to worry about. So if they do decide to go the same way as Pipex, the longest I’ll have to wait to move on is 31 days
To be fair I’ve had nearly a year of trouble free (Expensive for what it is) broadband from Pipex, NO down-time etc, but the in the last couple of moths or so the port-throttling has really hammered my connection – so I’m off – Nildram also offers a cheaper Max service too
