Switch to Pipex and get two months free

Looking for a new broadband supplier? Check out Pipex broadband and if you’re switching from another provider to Pipex you'll get two months free broadband. Or switchers can choose a free broadband modem and microfilters instead.

Pipex Broadband is available in PipexMini for £14.99 per month for up 8 meg with a 2 GB monthly usage allowance, PipexMidi for £19.99 per month for up to 8 meg with 15 GB download allowance per month, or PipexMax for £24.99 per month with up to 8 meg and unlimited downloads.

How to switch:

1. Check you're out of your initial contract with your current broadband provider - broadband contracts are usually 12 months but can be longer or shorter.

2. Contact your existing broadband provider and request a MAC (Migration Authorisation Code). You will need to enter this code when you order your new Pipex broadband package online. Your MAC code is valid for 30 days.

3. Choose your Pipex package and order online.

4. Don’t cancel your existing broadband service as you could end up without broadband until your Pipex service is switched on - simply sit back and in a few weeks your Pipex broadband will be live!
