Kitz ISP comparison

I did think I'd dropped a clanger. Noreen!  You edited faster than I could post!  As I said, it's hard keeping up using my phone, but that's my problem!

>> or giving all 1's to other ISPs doesn't really help anyone

Wasnt meaning you specifically Malc... if thats what you thought?
- when posting that I was actually recalling something I'd seen recently of someone giving IDNET all 1's elsewhere.. and I meant in general terms.

That's fair enough, I was just defending my vote and giving reasons for it, my anger is directed at pipex.

My vote of 5's for ID is backed up by the fact I am prepared to pay £10 a month more to get what is advertised.

Start carrying a laptop with you?

[Simon]

Wouldn't fit in my pocket, Rik. 

[Malc]

Get bigger pockets, I bet J!ll could fit one in her handbag  

[ReDGryphoN]

Voted, we are No 1

That's why it's called a laptop, Simon.

Kitz,



Thanks for all your hard work and a great site, which we often direct people too. I hope to see you around here a bit, but appreciate that you're probably very busy.

[Rik]

Don't forget, btw, people that you need to rate IDNet at ThinkBroadband if you haven't already.

[Lance]

Thanks for the reminder, RIk!

And welcome to the forum Kitz! 

[Noreen]

Don't forget, btw, people that you need to rate IDNet at ThinkBroadband if you haven't already.

and DSL ZoneUK, in the hope that it MIGHT make a difference. Unfortunately many people still take notice of their ratings. I'm going to make a point of saying that their IDNet page is still wrong every time that I vote there in future.

Hi kitz, So nice to see you here, many thanks for your comments.

Have a Karma and a warm welcome.

[Noreen]

IDNet is now second to Enternet.

[Rik]

Inevitable, I suspect, Noreen, with people marking it down on price.

[Noreen]

IDNet back on top again, just.

[Rik]

That's nice to know.

[Noreen]

And that's with fewer voters too.

[Rik]

I'm still curious about anyone who says they're worth every penny, but then marks down on VFM. 

[Inactive]

Unfortunately Rik, some are unable to distinguish between VFM and Cheap.

[Rik]

I'd say many rather than some, In.

[Noreen]

Unfortunately Rik, some are unable to distinguish between VFM and Cheap.

Yes, I think that I've said this before but I believe that some people are genuinely confused about the meanings of VFM and above or below average price.

[Rik]

I agree, Noreen. I just find it puzzling that someone can say "They're far from the cheapest and probably other ISP's have better packages but you get what you pay for and these guys are worth every penny." and then mark down on VFM. 

[Si]

I think it's probably the 1-5 scale that causes the confusion. If 5 stars is absolutely 100% value for money, what's 4? Still value for money but not absolutely top value?!

I think if you are talking VFM then it should be a black-and-white "This IS good value for what you get" or "This is NOT good value for what you get". I doubt IDnet would get anything other than 100% positive then...

[Rik]

I agree with you. Something is either VFM or it isn't.

[Malc]

I suppose a lot of it is down to how much knowledge you have, if you don't know any better and only surf and email than tiscalli is OK, and those people are happy, and look at ID and others as expensive.

However, if you use it of games and DL ing etc, then quality is important. These days you only get what you pay for.

Do people who buy 3p netto beans think Heniz are expensive?
