Hi all!!
Just received mac code from o2 (access:)), and im thinking to join IDNet ... just one question: does IDNet provide wireless router or do i have to purchase one myself if i do then which one would you recommend ?

Hoping that after migrating am gonna be positively shocked with browsing speeds ( router exchange synchro on o2 was over 8000)
cannot wait to migrate

Hi Marcin

IDNet do not supply a router with the service, but they do sell Netgear routers. Others here use Speedtouch and 2Wire routers amongst others.

You won't be able to believe the improvement in your internet experience once you've migrated!

Excellent news.

Hi Marcin,

And

You could get one of these. The one in the link was 99p plus about a fiver p&p and I had one myself back in April for the same price. Brand new boxed and only on eBay.

Good morning
Since yesterday morning im proper idnetter... so far gooood... just struggling with freezing netgear router

... but thats not idnet fault
After misery with o2 i was able to have i chat via skype with my mother last night

)) Happy

Are floating speeds normal during 10 days training period ??
on the end just my stats:

ADSL Link     Downstream     Upstream
Connection Speed 8128 kbps     448 kbps
Line Attenuation     12.0 db     5.5 db
Noise Margin     10.9 db     20.0 db

Rik · Nov 24, 2009, 09:37:33

I take it you can't get WBC yet? As you're syncing at 8128 with a 10.9db noise margin, your line will be able to go much faster on ADSL2+, probably around 18Mb.

marcin · Nov 24, 2009, 10:14:04

not available -> http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/NIBSB
but i dont need great speeds for browsing ... im not a downloader
o2 access wasn good even for that

Rik · Nov 24, 2009, 10:15:37

Well, you should at least have a rock steady line, with a throughput in the region of 6.8M.

marcin · Nov 24, 2009, 13:28:12

getting around 800KB/s download from nvidia.com so cant complain

Sebby · Nov 24, 2009, 16:33:18

Well you could, but it would be unfair...

marcin · Nov 24, 2009, 16:52:46

aaa by the way if somebody has got problems with NETGEAR DGN2000 regarding freezing of it, just try to change a channel it helped mine... works fine on 6 instead 11
