Pipex problems - anyone else?

[SGirl]

Hiya,

I haven't been able to pick up my e-mail from Pipex since yesterday afternoon. I gather they had a server problem and were working on transferring stuff, but now I can't even log on to the server to pick mails up.

Anyone else having problems?

I didn't suffer from the problem myself, although did notice on the status page that they had an announcement about the problem.

What I did notice was that I couldn't get on many web sites last night, and only got on PH because I know the IP address. I suspect Pipex had some problems with their DNS too in that case.

(I'm on Pipex Xtreme ADSL, by the way, but have [e-mail] and [e-mail] email addresses)

No problems here (now, or overnight)

We are using Pipex wireless systems, and our emails are routed to us via pipex.

Pipex are gits!!!

Finally got through to them to be told our account has been discontinued for non-payment. Now I've been paying for this account for years and no problems, so I wondered why they hadn't contacted me. Apparently they sent me an e-mail to tell me they were about to discontinue the account - which I didn't receive.

I wouldn't mind so much, but I spoke to someone at Pipex last Friday with a tech support query, but for some reason there was no flag on the account to say payment was overdue.

So they'll reactivate me sometime this afternoon - in the meantime all my work mails will be merrily bouncing back to clients, thereby guaranteeing a steady stream of phone calls later on.

Aargh!! Lucky we don't use them for our Internet connection any more.

Aaaaand breathe....

No problems for me when I last used my ADSL last night.
