stevelondon · Jan 24, 2007, 09:39:37

Hi
I'm trying to login to my email account but it keeps saying wrong username and password but it isn't as its ok in Outlook Express i have 2 email accounts and it won't let me log into either of them has anyone else had this problem?

Nerval · Jan 24, 2007, 09:55:47

No Steve, it won't let me log into webmail either - though it's all fine in OE.

stevelondon · Jan 24, 2007, 10:01:38

Thanks for trying mate i wondered why seems its a fault on the site.

sallyandjames · Jan 24, 2007, 10:16:00

Did IDnet get PN's old mailservers?

Here's one that they were getting rid of, perhaps IDnet got it our of the skip and pressed it into use?

Nerval · Jan 24, 2007, 10:20:45

Nah you got that the wrong way round. That's Plusnet's being delivered.

Still mail probs regularly there I see.

But the vol of posts on the forum looks way down - not been there recently, but just had a look at recent posts and there's far fewer than there were. Can't be improving, so I assume everybody's left.

sallyandjames · Jan 24, 2007, 10:27:47

Never been daft enough to use their mailsystem, so can't comment from experience, although it appears to be working based on other folk's posts (or lack of)

You won't know we got a new pipe on its way then will you if you don't read the boards any more? (12.5% increase in bandwidth)

Checking the picture, I've posted the wrong one, that yellow thing you can see is actually their server room, and the grey box is the node that connects to the support guy they got from microsoft......

BT now own Plusnet, news out today..

Didn't know that - but I don't think it's enough to tempt me back.

Peter's no doubt done the calculations to show that capacity will then be up to the 2003 level when Pn had half the customers it has now.

I notice the "we" though in what you say. You're well on the way to being offered a job there lol

sallyandjames · Jan 24, 2007, 11:19:10

They can't afford me!

BT Don't actually own PN yet (I still have my shares

) Its just been passed by the office of fair trading, thus they have the green light to complete the deal. Estimates are that it'll be complete within a week or two.

Quote from: NervalDidn't know that - but I don't think it's enough to tempt me back

Don't want you back.

IIRC you left because P2P was rate limited? (although wasn't that just the last straw in a long line of annoyances?)
The less folks trying to use P2P AFAIC the better!

Joking apart, I've still not had any problems with any of the 10 or so accounts I have with them. My home account is the slowest running @ 3.5Mb, which see's a throughput of just below 3Mb in peak times.
The rest are better than that, with my work one acheiving a steady speeds like this.

Extra bandwidth will help increase that some more, and while they are poor at getting the balance right with regard traffic shaping, at least the network will be sustainable once video on demand starts showing its head above the parapet. Those who just rely on having enough bandwidth based on their customer numbers will inevitably suffer! (You guys should be OK for quite a while though, the large number of business customers using IDNet will provide enough unused bandwidth over evenings and weekends to provide you with good speeds during peak times - you only need to worry if you keep on getting large influxes of residential customers.)

Inactive · Jan 24, 2007, 11:55:15

Thanks for that, and yes, sorry, I misread the info, clearance has been given.

Anyway I feel well rid of them.

sallyandjames · Jan 24, 2007, 12:00:09

Its more or less the same thing though, so don't lose sleep over it.

I've just logged on to webmail fine - so maybe yours will work now?

p.s sorry for getting back on topic!!!!!

Nerval · Jan 24, 2007, 13:36:30

No webmail still not working here.
I assume IDN are aware of it as Simon's been on the forum this am.

Rik · Jan 24, 2007, 14:48:09

Web & POP are both OK here...

Nerval · Jan 24, 2007, 15:03:10

Still just POP working for me.
Don't use webmail anyway tho, just tried it for Stevelondon.

Rik · Jan 24, 2007, 15:10:23

And I tried them both for you...

Nerval · Jan 24, 2007, 15:14:31

Ahhh
Have a banana and a karma.

Rik · Jan 24, 2007, 15:15:31

OK, so I got the banana...

Nerval · Jan 24, 2007, 15:20:01

I lied about the karma

sallyandjames · Jan 24, 2007, 15:22:32

Minus one for you then Nerval for fibbing!
One extra for Rik in place of your missing one.....

Nerval · Jan 24, 2007, 15:26:09

I lied about the fibbing, so now Rik's got 2!!!

Rik · Jan 24, 2007, 15:27:50

LOL.

Do you two want to keep fighting over me.

sallyandjames · Jan 24, 2007, 15:40:27

Hmm, we like fighting for no reason, you have come along and made us feel as if there is a purpose to it.

Nerv, you can have your Karma back in an hour.

Nerval · Jan 24, 2007, 15:48:29

Your hour is a totally random figure, rather like all Tony Blair's "targets".
You can keep it.

Trouble is if we fight with Rik for giving us a purpose to fight, then he'll have given us another purpose to fight, so that's no good.

Speaking of which, Sooty has been fighting daily for the past week. I'll have to get some bromide to put in his tea.

Rik · Jan 24, 2007, 15:50:36

Too late, I gave you both one (if you'll pardon the phrase), but S&J's has gone again...

Bromide is no good, get some oestrogen.

sallyandjames · Jan 24, 2007, 15:55:06

QuoteSorry, you can't repeat a karma action without waiting 1 hours.

Hence the 1 hour figure.

Nerval · Jan 24, 2007, 16:00:06

but you weren't repeating it, just correcting your mistake.
Oh the vagaries of bureaucracy

Rik · Jan 24, 2007, 16:03:58

Maybe it was the onions?

Nerval · Jan 24, 2007, 16:07:57

Is it Windy tomorrow?

(come on Rik, you must know the answer?)

Rik · Jan 24, 2007, 16:31:33

Wendy comes on Fridays. It's Burns' Night tomorrow!

Lucky girl

A bit like Ruby Tuesday I suppose, she comes and goes.

sallyandjames · Jan 24, 2007, 16:36:56

Deaf guy #1: Its windy tomorrow isn't it?

Deaf guy #2: No, Thursday

Deaf guy #1: Love one, pint of Bitter please.....

And all this nonsense has converted James into a guru, so he can have an extra karma for that too.

We're talking to James?? Damn, I thought it was Sally.

His karma seems stuck though, I keep adding one but it keeps disappearing.

sallyandjames · Jan 24, 2007, 16:48:07

Sherbet lemon anyone?

sallyandjames · Jan 24, 2007, 16:48:42
