Has anyone sued them and won?

About the same price as 123Reg I seem to recall, but never had any problems with them (I have domains at both 123Reg and Gandi). I have had a lot of success with Gandi.net.

This has been going on for ages - time and time again.I have moved all my domains to other providers. As a result I have found out why 123reg has been having so much problems. It is now apparent that after pipax bought 123reg, the developers and chaps who were running 123reg have started there own company - Daily Internet - http://www.daily.co.uk Its incredible to now have my phone calls answered within a few rings and be able to talk to people who are knowledgeable about hosting - and to speak to some of the guys that use to support me several years ago. Been with them for a few months now and I'm very happy. They even give from Online back up drive when you migrate to them. Do your own research and call them up !

I refuse to pay 50p a minute for phone support. I've just been searching to see if anyone else has had problems (which is how I found this post) - lots of people are. Here's just one example I found - http://avoid123reg.mydisk.co.uk/. I'm transferring all my domains away ASAP. Good luck to everyone else.

They promised my issue would be escalated to a supervisor and I should hear from them in 24 hours. Still nothing at the close of today. Okay it's only another 13 hours after a week of going demented. I reckon I won't hear from them. Place your bets here. Now ....I reckon pipex have decided to shut 123-reg down. Service this bad can only be deliberate. Surely..... Anyone else got a theory? Muppet show is turning me into a green monster. I actually spoke to a human being at pipex today. They promised my issue would be escalated to a supervisor and I should hear from them in 24 hours.

Well, when I say battle, I mean that I did all of the fighting and they just ignored everything. I took them through the small claims court, and won judgment by default because they did not even bother to respond to the court papers saying they were being sued for x,xxx amount. Avoid these losers, without a doubt the worst company I have ever dealt with! Go to Streamline or somebody! I have had a long running battle with 123-reg.
