I ordered Pipex ADSL on Sunday, and it should be activated by Friday.

I was intending to purchase the Dabs 'value' PCI ADSL modem, which was only £50, but they have now sold out, and will not get any more for 1-2 weeks.

I was wondering if anyone knew where else I could get a decent ADSL modem from, for under £90?

QXL have a 'buy now' feature on an 'Efficient Networks' PCI modem (£50)
Efficient Networks have just been bought out by Siemens, but I dont know if this modem is any good :)

Please help, Dan

This is to Darkness...if you get activated on Friday, you're the luckiest man alive! Try heading over to the Pipex forum on ADSLguide and you'll see why.
I ordered my connection way back at the beginning of March, I'm finally, nay, *hopefully* getting connected this coming Monday. The cause? Non other than BT ofcourse.
Trust me, when you get delayed a few months, dont blame Pipex. Oh and a piece of advice, when you are at the point where it's a week or two delayed, phone up Pipex and KEEP nagging them. If I hadn't phoned them last week and told them to get in touch with BT, there'd be no sign of a BT engineer this coming Monday and I dread to think much longer I'd then have to wait...

Oh, and I got the Alcatel modem direct from Pipex. Would've rather got a PCI jobby, but I'm not fussed now...just give me ADSL BT!!!

They have allsorts, PCI, USB and Routers. That's where I bought my router and I'm very happy.
