It will be soon IDNet Day for me.......HOORAY

[kerrso05]

Hi there, it is 1.00am on the 5th February 2008 and I am about to move to IDNet, today some time (they said 6pm.....does that mean mean 6.00pm... if not what does pm stand for?)

I have set up my IDNet Email and my Web Mail (that was painless). I am already receiving my download totals for the month.................so far 0Gbs..............LOL

As a farewell gift I just received an Email from Eclipse to say that they are putting up their monthly subscriptions by a £1 if you use a Credit Card...I am so glad I am moving   

Sometime today I can truly call myself a IDNet User

The switch usually happens in the small hours, so you may well be 'on' by now, Harry! 

[Lance]

Hopefully when you read this reply, you'll be on your IDNet connection

Most migrations take place in the early hours, the 6pm is just to cover them [BT] should something go wrong!

[kerrso05]

 Sorry, guys not yet. BT must be going to make me wait till 6pm.............oh dear

[Rik]

I was delayed a day by BT.  Have a chat with support so that they are aware.

I AM HERE

Have a warm welcome Karma.. 

[Rik]

Great news, Harry. Welcome to happy land.

[kerrso05]

WOW....................this is amazing

I am downloading at 157kps ....................I never got that speed, ever. My Top speed on a good day from Eclipse was 80kps but that hasn't been a long time, it usually was 0.027kps
I have just  done a speed test on DSL Zone and I am getting around 3000

FANTASTIC,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,this is a great start

[Rik]

I'd take a bet your profile hasn't lifted yet, Harry. See if you can manage a BT speed test.

Rik............I haven't a clue how to carry that out.....point me in the right direction and I will try

[Rik]

Hi Harry

http://test.speedtester.bt.com:50301/

You'll need your phone number and your full IDNet login (that is, both sides of the @). Use IE rather than another browser, it tends to work better, and expect to need some patience, it can be like trying to get a straight answer from a politician. If you're successful, cut/paste the entire result back here.

[kerrso05]

Rik.........................thanks

Here it is:-



Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:  -provides background information.
    IP profile for your line is - 3000 kbps
    DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM)  4224 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 2801 kbps


Rik how is that?.........................it looks good to me....what do you think

[Rik]

The profile is lagging slightly, Harry, which is quite normal at this point. If you maintain that sync speed, you'll move to a 3500 profile. Throughput is spot on for your current profile.

[kerrso05]

Rik.............so in your opinion that is good and normal for this stage in the process but that you also think there is room for improvement?


I think it is AMAZING. I never ever got that speed from Freeserve, Plusnet or Eclipse and the last two said they were not throtling or managing my line......clearly someone was telling PORKIES.

There is a saying here in Northern Ireland that goes "I'm a Pig in S**t".........(sorry for the bad language)   

[kinmel]

   way to go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rik]

Hi Harry

The profile nearly always lags a bit on migrating, but there's no doubt that IDNet are pumping data down your line as fast as BT will let them. Over the next few days, I think you'll see a bit more besides (400k or so).

You were, indeed, receiving the mushroom treatment. Now you know why we are so happy with IDNet, no rubbish, just pure good service.

and Idnet.

Eclipse certainly were, Harry, they told me the same when I left them for Idnet in June 2006, I was struggling to get 1mbps with Eclipse immediately jumped to over 4mbps when I joined Idnet. I frequently get over 6mbps now and it rarely drops below 5mbps.

I was told a similar tale by Plusnet, as soon as I moved to IDNet my speeds went up, and stayed up.

They were the worst offenders of it. They told Downright Lies............I had an awful experience with them.........anywhere would be better than there...........even Eclipse.........and that is saying something


PS How do you upload that Speedtest profile that you have at your signature?

[Inactive]

Go to ...http://www.speedtest.net/

Carry out your speed test, then click on the " forum link " that will appear after the test is complete.

That will copy it to your computer, then just paste in to your profile.

[Si]

Welcome Harry! Isn't it lovely to get a fast, solid connection all the time, with speedy downloads whatever the time of day or night...

It's broadband proper round these parts!

You won't regret this move
