We wrote to you recently to advise that your customer account for broadband and telephone services transferred to us, Global 4 Communications Ltd. This is a result of a business acquisition (from Pipex UK Ltd) which completed in January 2012. Global 4 are a successful telecoms company who provide a UK based support model to a large number of residential clients under the brand name Home Telecom. You will notice very little change to your service, except that in future the name Home Telecom will now appear on your monthly bill, and we, Global 4 Communications Ltd will now be collecting your monthly direct debits.
Please note that all pricing and client terms and conditions remain unchanged. If you have any concerns at all please do not hesitate to call our support line on 01403 216138.
