Frequently Asked Questions

I am not an ICUK Broadband customer
If you do not have broadband ADSL/FTTC with ICUK and you’re paying for your CIX subscription, by switching your broadband to ICUK, you will qualify for a free full CIX account with @cix.co.uk POP3/IMAP email and conferencing/forums access.

How do I sign up for this offer if I’m not an ICUK broadband Customer?
If you’re switching your broadband service, you will need to ask your current broadband provider for a MAC Key. Once this has been obtained, you should choose a package from our site that best suits your requirements at https://www.icuk.net/broadband/broadband_home.asp

Once you have chosen a package, you must use the ICUK/CIX sign up page at https://www.icuk.net/broadband/internet_signup.aspx?ref=cix

This will prompt you for your CIX account details in a secure page and verify you are the CIX account holder, so we can match up the details once the order comes through.
