Title: Pre sign up enquiry.
Post by: windowshopper on Mar 03, 2007, 22:33:20
Hello,

I'm looking at joining IDNet quite soon. I realise that the owners must be pretty busy right now getting their new toy settled in today ;O)

I am looking at going for the Home 2000 package, and understand it can come in .5Mb, 1Mb and 2Mb.

Is there a price implication with each of them or are they all the same price?

I'm presently on 1Mb, but might like to try for 2Mb, I'm told if that failed then going back the 1Mb that presently works is not a problem. Does trying to do that cost me, or do both sides accept that it is just bad luck? BT wholesale checker says it can do 2Mb but I have reasons to doubt it's actually the case.

I'm hoping one or more of you might have had experience with these things while being IDNet users and could give me some ideas of what I might expect?

"Does trying to do that cost me, or do both sides accept that it is just bad luck? BT wholesale checker says it can do 2Mb but I have reasons to doubt it's actually the case."

Idnet will proberbly set you up for 2mb, but if results in problems they will quickly move you to 1mb with no cost (i think).

"I'm hoping one or more of you might have had experience with these things while being IDNet users and could give me some ideas of what I might expect?"

A few days ago i WAS on a ADSL Max connection, syncing at 2meg ish. However, it was giving me so many headaches due to resyncs, i asked to be changed to 1meg fixed. I was also unsure if 1 meg would work, as previosuly 512 was my max speed. It was completed in under 24 hours, and for free :) - 1meg has worked fine since then!

I don't believe there is a price implication between the 512k, 1Mb and 2Mb products at IDNet. If the 2Mb product is not working correctly and you wish to change to 1Mb fixed there shouldn't be a problem, and I don't think you would be charged for such a change.

Thank you both, I think the best move now is to sign up and give it a try! There's only so many questions we can think of to ask, trying it will answer a few others I hope.

Last ISP was so dreadful it's given us the jitters. ;)

Here's hoping. :)

I moved on the 24th Feb from Plusnet. I still can not believe the difference. p2p works, general web browsing is so much faster. I should have moved months ago.

Of course, things will be even better shortly, with the new central coming online...

I thought it already was Rik. Have I misread something along the way?

BT have completed the physical installation and IDNet are in the process of testing at the moment, moving over users by the end of this week I believe. :)
