Is anyone with Pipex?

If the dropouts are related to the sync between you and the exchange then it's either line or hardware related - good luck in getting f$%^$%& B f$%^$%& T to do anything about it if it's related to the line.

If they're PPP disconnects - then that is probably ISP-related - since Pipex is now Tiscali and was taken over by TalkTalk - good luck in that one too.
 
Tell me about it. It's so random though. The phone line's fine I'm sure. I've had things like this in the past, and it's generally been either because Pipex are fannying around with something, or last time it was cos my modem was knackered. For the price I'll order a new modem anyway, good to have a spare, dunno what I would do without the interweb these days - how could I order more shaving stuff???
 

Same here - except I had 4 or 5 spares until very recently :?
