If you are a Pipex customer be aware that Tiscali recently took over the Pipex home user customer base (business customers stay with Pipex).
I am with Freedom2Surf (F2S). Pipex took over F2S some time ago. Now they have sold us out to Tiscali as well as all other Pipex owned ISP home users. I have no idea if they will change the setup for us (such as changing IP stream customers over to Datastream) but I am preparing to jump on the MAC code bandwagon the moment my connection goes dodgy.

I only thought of this as a fairly minor issue - do other ISPs usually let people maintain connections for hours or even days at a time?
Yes. In my days of mass downloading of stuff I was once logged on for over 14 days without a single loss of sync according to my router logs. That was when I had 2 meg before the days of DSLMAX (up to 8 meg) connections and it was back when freedom to surf was a fantastic ISP as opposed to average (i.e. it was before Pipex bought it).

From what I gather they ignore all issues, Eve related and others. They want your money. Service comes second.
