not sure referal works, one of the administrators of idnet refered me, can't remember the name , maybe some thing like peter cross, so i told id net ,to my knowledge never did get my £10 , often wondered if he did ?

Surely IDNet staff or management can't take part in the referral scheme? 

As far as I know, it is still up and running. When you sign up, there's a place to fill in your referrer details, and then the new customer and the referrer receive £10 credit.

Details here.

I'm sure any member of the forum would be happy to oblige. As a staff member, I do not participate in the scheme as it would be too easy for me to abuse my position.

oopps i owe everyone on this forum an appology :-[ , due to a severe senior moment, i thought it was an administrator from this forum that reccommended me to idnet, but on careful thinking i now remember it was an administrator on another forum. :-[
please accept my sincere appology.

but that does not detract from the fact that idnet is the best yet, even if i did my best to mess it up  :-[

my ping is v good to uk dutch  fr and de servers

idnet network is also  in holland and france if i rem correctly

also if u see my thread on packet loss and above.net u will see how well idnet deals with issues

they fixed my issue in roughly week n a bit

It involved changing peering/routing to avoid above.net. (which they could do in this case and did)

how good is that :) i dont normally go into fanboy mode, being british n all hehe but after past experiences with other isps this was really impressive.

Looks pretty good for VM, about twice as fast as dial-up. ;) :out:

Wow, with speeds like that at least you have learned to walk  ;D When you arrive at Idnet you will learn to Run  :evilb: :evilb:

My ping is a little high in this test... I think it was because the site was causing my laptop to crash :-D.




Speed on IDnet is great tho.

Rik

I'm not sure I trust that site's ping results - partly because they seem to keep changing their mind about how far away I am. My 'reference' values are those to the BBC and IDNet. They will always show if there's an issue anywhere.

as long as i can get low latency and reasonable speeds i will be happy. some servers i play won`t let me in if the ping is too high.

Rik

Worse, they're a rubbish re-seller. ;)

Well, Tiscali occasionally deliver some speed, whilst VM (ADSL) rarely do. :)

i wouldnt rely on speed test sites for acurate speed info they can get clobbered by lots of people testing esp peak times and give u false readings, u need to try a range of diff sites to get an idea and also try simultaneous dls from some download places u know have good bandwidth.


though agree VM adsl is def in the avoid list, and also so is VM cable in my area had 20% packet loss and they dont know why

and thats with top level infrastructure guy doing network sweeps and coming to my home etc etc

My ping times to bbc are average of 47ms and idnet was 32ms with 0 packet loss, not sure what's happening there at the moment, I seem to have some slow dns resolving at times and my router shows LCP down at six this morning, had this happen badly the other day from 2am right through to 4am :-\ attenuation is 48db and noise margin 7db
Damned, if you do damned if you don't
