Tiscali to buy Pipex : PlusNet to the rescue...!
With the uncertainty of Pipex’s future looming, we’ve worked hard today to come up with a very special offer to help Pipex customers scramble to safety. We’re pleased to confirm that we’re ‘beefing-up’ our already successful 90 day ‘no-risk’ guarantee by throwing in the first month of broadband and home phone absolutely free of charge. We’ve already heard from many Pipex customers concerned by the acquisition of Pipex and its subsidiaries Freedom2Surf, Nildram, Toucan, Bulldog and Homecall by Tiscali. We are pleased to have been able to respond so quickly, although given how popular we expect the offer to be it may only be available for a limited time. Along with the new deal, our 90 day guarantee was already a clear demonstrator of our confidence that customers will enjoy the services that we provide, the quality of our products and our award-winning customer service. We recently topped the uSwitch poll as the UK’s “Best Overall Provider”. Streets ahead of both Pipex and Tiscali who managed a joint sixth-place performance. This special offer means that customers can switch their Broadband or combined Home Phone and Broadband service to us with complete peace of mind and absolutely no-risk. Prices start at just £9.99 per month for Broadband or £20.99 per month for combined Broadband and Home Phone Services (which includes Line Rental and free Evening & Weekend calls!). That means if you switch to PlusNet now your first month will be absolutely free and if you’re not totally satisfied you can leave anytime within the first 90 days and we’ll refund all the broadband subscription fees you have paid! To make the move, all you need to do is get a MAC key from your current provider. Under new Ofcom rulings, all Broadband providers are obliged to provide a MAC key within 5 working days – so just call the appropriate number below and give it to us when you signup. Pipex : 0845 077 2455 Nildram : 08701 608 600 Freedom2Surf : 0870 242 3758 Toucan : 0905 322 0000 - YES! Show me more! - Compare Pipex, F2S, Bulldog, Nildram to PlusNet Why else should you consider PlusNet? Support : 24/7 - UK Based Support Only – Geographical Numbers We don’t outsource our support operation overseas. Our entire operation is run from our Sheffield Headquarters as we employ locally. Unlike many of Pipex’s call-centres, we’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition, we have a geographical, Sheffield landline number. This allows customers to benefit from no call charges to our support team if they have included minutes to UK landlines. Intelligent Network Management – Not Traffic Strangling! We manage our network intelligently using some very specialist equipment. We make sure that web browsing, VoIP telephone calls, Online Gaming, Email etc… gets the highest possible priority on our network at all times. This means that customers who download large amounts, or use bandwidth-heavy applications such as P2P and Usenet at busy times, still get their share of the network but without slowing down the connection for everyone else. Clear Products and Defined, but Flexible, Usage Allowances There’s a common misconception in the UK that Unlimited Broadband can be both of quality and sustainable. As an open and honest ISP, we know it’s not and we campaign against ISPs who mislead customers into thinking that Unlimited means you can download as much as you want. Our products have clear usage allowances and are flexible in line with your needs. In addition, it means that customers who wish to use the service very heavily make a bigger contribution towards our network and wholesale costs. We think that’s much fairer than falsely advertising “Unlimited” and then cutting people off when we consider they’re using it too much. How can it be unlimited if we do that? We don’t count overnight usage, however, simply because the network is a lot quieter overnight than it is during the day and in the evening. So customers are free to use as much as the network will allow them and everyone can get a fair share of the capacity available overnight. Products and Innovation We’re continually innovating and developing new products and features for customers. Examples of this include our Broadband Phone product and our unique Broadband Firewall. Within the next year we plan to launch BT Vision and BT Fusion to our customers. Monthly Contract Products All of our Residential Broadband products are based on Monthly Contracts. We believe that customers will stay with PlusNet because we provide a good service, not because they’re locked into a lengthily contract. Find even more reasons for choosing PlusNet here.
