ONSPEED, a subsidiary of Z GROUP PLC, and PIPEX, one of the UK's largest
Internet service providers, today announced a revenue sharing partnership to
offer ONSPEED customers one of the fastest and most competitive Broadband
services available in the UK. ONSPEED will promote PIPEX Broadband to a targeted
segment of the ONSPEED customer base through various marketing initiatives
starting in February 2006.



ONSPEED customers can now be offered PIPEX Broadband coupled with ONSPEED
Version 5 to maximise their Internet speeds even further. ONSPEED Version 5
allows Broadband to be accelerated by up to 5 times and is currently used by
more than 500,000 customers worldwide.



Meghan Cady, Marketing Director of Z GROUP says: 'There is a natural progression
for ONSPEED customers on a Dial-up Internet connection to want to move over to
Broadband once they have experienced the faster speeds provided by ONSPEED.  Our
partnership with PIPEX now means that ONSPEED customers can get one of the best
Broadband offerings in the market - while continuing to use ONSPEED to obtain
the fastest speeds.'
