It appears our attempts to escape from Pipex were futile.

Pipex announced today that they were buying out Freedom 2 Surf, our new ISP of one month, for the sum of Ł10M. Apparently there will be very few changes to the service. The products offered by both companies will be ‘integrated’ and customer will be switched to these new products when their contracts run out.

Having migrated to F2S, we are on a monthly contract. As such it looks like anything could happen and F2S are likely to inherit features of the ‘excellent’ service provided by Pipex. I’d better start looking for an alternative ISP right away…
