My exchange has just been LLU'd by them, so I'm considering ditching Pipex 512k at 23:44/m and jumping to UKO at 9:99/m. Someone I know has just migrated from 512k Demon to 8Meg UKO, the migration didn't go too smoothly, but he's happy to date with the service. Lots of unhappy people (mainly due to screwed up migrations) in the ADSL guide Easynet/UKO forum however. -- Mark Please replace invalid and invalid with gmx and net to reply |

![]() Sure, I'll report back when I get connected, will have to find an alternative route to the newsgroup since they don't provide a news server ![]() Hopefully the migration goes ok, well see, fingers crossed!
