Our Final Comment And Rating For Pipex Broadband Packages

Once a relatively small ISP, Pipex has raised its game over the last year or so acquiring competitors likes Bulldog and Toucan, whilst also embarking on a major TV advertising campaign. Its range of packages cater extremely well for those people just wanting broadband and those wanting an attractive broadband and phone calls bundle. In particular, the new £9.99 per month bundle offers great value with up to 8Mb broadband speeds plus offpeak local and national phone calls included for free. These Pipex broadband and phone packages also include cheap mobile and international calls - which makes them an attractive ISP alongside the likes of Virgin Media if you're in the market for this type of bundle. There's also good news for switchers too, with Pipex re-introducing their special incentive of 1 months free broadband when you switch to them from another ISP.
Final Rating - 7 out of 10
