Hi!
I am a newbie on this forum and have some questions that may seem 'silly' or unnecessary, however, I will give it a go.
Welcome to the forums, theres no such thing as a silly question when you are looking for a new ISP its a bleeding minefield. ;D
QuoteIDnet looks superb, honest and totally above board, BUT are they likely to be 'taken over' by a 'bigger' fish in the pond i.e. AOL/Tiscali/Pipex/Orange/etc.etc. and thereby leave their current customers at their mercy? As we all know, money talks.
Theres no way of knowing but they have been going for 10 years and i doubt they will ever be big enough to interest the big boys
They have a good usage cap in place therefore will not attract the "download the world" types that flock to a free lunch ,hopefully they will never get to the size of my X isp Freedom2surf who because of their 100GB + cap got too big and got pounced on .
QuoteIDnet are offering 'fair' packages for the discerning customer.....can they sustain their offerings at the current prices or with immense competition from 'those others' will prices inevitably increase?
I would say if anything prices will stay the same or fall , over the next 12 months we are going to see lots of packages like the ones from Sky & Orange as the ISP's get their kit into the exchanges.
Again time will tell but i would not let these concerns stop you from joining and its only a 1 month contract so you can leave anytime.
