| Hi all. Having recently changed ISP (back in april) I keep on getting bills for my old supplier (Pipex). I have rung them on four different ocassions and told them that I'm not paying the bill as Tiscali had took over the service and as far as I'm concerned I had settled up with Pipex by paying my direct debit in May. I also got an email from them last week congratulating me for choosing them to supply broadband(what a load of muppets). Has any one else had problems changing from Pipex(or any other ISP), and if how did you resolve it?? I was issued MAC code which I did pass on to Tiscali. I'm nearing my wits end and considering reporting them to OFCOM or Trading Standards. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance.
AMD Athlon 64 DC 4800+, MSI K9N Neo-F V3, 2Gb DDR2 Kingston 667MHz, Powercolor ATI 4850, Hitahi 250Gb SATA II, HP DVD-RW, LG Flatron 19" CRT, Vista Ultimate. Any help on overclocking these components will be very welcome!!

In common with most ISPs, you will probably find that your contract is not with the sales or 'help' line staff, but with the company billing department, often in a carefully obscure, non-contactable location. If you can find out where that is by reading original or even current 'Terms and Conditions' small print, try writing to them by recorded or even special delivery stating your case ? (It took that to make Orange threatening letters go away in my case.)

Tesco - Be was quite easy (hardest part was convincing my dad that it was a good idea).
Phone Tesco, ask for Mac. As they have to get it through BT they said it would take a couple of days and they'd email it.
Couple of days later, mac is emailed and input to Be. Be gives me a date. Date comes, and I come home from school to find I am wizzing round the internetworks!
All good 
In your case, have you actually transferred to Tiscali? If that is the case, then just stop paying Pipex. You're no longer receiving their service, so no payment. It's not like you haven't told them already.

Virgin to Be a nightmare, it took over 3 weeks and numerous phone calls/ emails to get my MAC code from Virgin.
Be on the other hand brilliant, migration was only 2 or 3 days to connect me.

AOL to Pipex a nightmare. Still waiting for a MAC code that was promised within 5 working days, it's now been over 3 weeks. Have canceled the DD to AOL now. I'm not paying them another penny.

| (Pipex) Homecall Had to 3 weeks from placing my order to connection (Pipex) Homecall > AOL (Pre OFCOM MAC code guidelines) I had to complain to OTELO because they had changed their T&Cs with the introduction of ther FUP without telling me. I did not agree with the change in T&Cs. Migration took 10 days once I'd recieved my MAC code AOL > Merula (Post OFCOM MAC Code guidelines) Complained to OFCOM because AOL had not sent me my MAC code after 6 working days. Migration took 5 days with a slight increase in download speed once I was connected to Merula Merula > O2 No problem getting a MAC Code. Merula have changed their packages and I think they're too expensive for the usage limits. Migration took 5 days again with a slight increase in download speed. The problem I've had this time is the fact that they've taken a full months payment rather than just the 3 days I was with them this month. Apparently, they only get a list of migrations once a month from BT rather than on the day that the migration takes place. I should get a refund once they've got the list from BT.

| I had no problem moving from Pipex to O2. But that was because the idiots at Pipex had "changed" my service (not at my request) and then disconnected me because they thought I was in arrears. This was from arrears dating back 2 years, which had been their fault and cleared up shortly after. When I spoke to them to get my line reactivated, I had to | | | |
