December 25/6 and January 1, Bob.

And support are closed from now until January 7th?.... Although there will be backup for 'loss of service' calls.

I think they do respond if you are disconnected but bear in mind they are dependent on BT who don't generally want to do much through the rest of the year so are probably even less inclined over Christmas.

Rik · Dec 24, 2010, 12:42:01

Support is closed till January 4, Tac, but normal out of hours service will be there for 'no connection' issues.

I just came looking for a thread like this. There's a Steam sale on don't ya know

tobykim · Jan 02, 2011, 13:48:02

Can anyone check to see if you have received free allowance for yesterday 1st Jan, I have usage registered for yesterday so it appears to me that the free allowance didn't kick in

Rik · Jan 02, 2011, 13:54:38

Same here.

Niall · Jan 02, 2011, 14:27:48

I downloaded 5 games through Steam, so I hope it's free or I'm doing not a lot for the rest of the month, or staying up until 3am each night

psp83 · Jan 02, 2011, 15:00:02

Same here, 25th - 26th shows 0 and the 1st is showing usage!

Day	Download (GB)	Upload (GB)	Peak (GB)*	Off-Peak (GB)*
1	3.11	0.09	1.89	1.23

MikeSh · Jan 02, 2011, 15:05:11

Yes - I am showing download for yesterday!

.Griff. · Jan 02, 2011, 15:44:35

I'd imagine the system is automated and once IDNet staff get back to work they'll adjust it accordingly and reset January 1st downloads to nothing.

While we're on the subject is anyone else showing anything for Boxing day? I am which is weird as that was meant to be excluded as well.

JB · Jan 02, 2011, 15:48:37

My two end colums for Boxing Day are showing zero. Yesterday is showing a very small amount of data which is consistant with the small amount of internet I used. However, it is not showing zero as I would of expected.

I'm sure all will be fixed in due course.

Rik · Jan 02, 2011, 15:49:34

You have it in one, Griff, I've just confirmed that with Simon. And yes.

JB · Jan 02, 2011, 15:51:43

Rik, small point I know but the spell checker option doesn't seem to be present after composing a message. Maybe I need to turn it on somewhere

Rik · Jan 02, 2011, 15:54:55

I've never used it, tbh, JB. I'll add it to our list.

JB · Jan 02, 2011, 15:56:00

I only use it, cough, as a bit of reasssurrancee...

Rik · Jan 02, 2011, 15:57:27

Where did it show, JB?

rgt247 · Jan 02, 2011, 16:02:49

Just checked mine. I am showing downloads for 25th /26th December and 1st January. I am well inside my limit so not bothered.

MikeSh · Jan 02, 2011, 16:04:55

I have no chell specking either.

Rik · Jan 02, 2011, 16:06:08

The spell checker won't work on the new server. We'll see what can be done about that.
