Idnet Customer portal and RSS feeds

Steve · Jan 14, 2009, 10:28:42

Anyone else had any issues in the last few days?

I have reported it again to customer support and they agree there is an issue but I am not sure whether its only me who is affected,as usual 5 mins since phone call now working again

Rik · Jan 14, 2009, 10:29:59

Not me, but I know Martin has just reset the server.

Simon · Jan 14, 2009, 10:30:39

I rarely use it, Steve, sorry.

I need the RSS feed when son's home from University, 21Gb gone and not half a month past yet,he blames Windows 7

Rik · Jan 14, 2009, 10:38:57

The feeds are working again.

kinmel · Jan 14, 2009, 10:43:57

The feeds for month so far, and 4 days peak and off peak are working OK for me, although the very top feed claims that "Live Bookmark feed failed to load"

Steve · Jan 14, 2009, 10:51:01

Its fine for me now,I've just had intermittent issues over the last few days, been keeping an eye on the feed due to excessive downloads earlier this month.

I know its only a £1 per extra GB but its a matter of principal as I pay the bill. He's got used to free unlimited broadband at University

So that's where all the money goes in the education system.

Having problems logging on to my account. It just times out. Is it just me?

I'd blame Vista. If it hadn't been so bad, they wouldn't have needed to bring out a new OS so soon.

Same here again!

davej99 · Jan 14, 2009, 14:41:30

Seems to be running OK now.

Rik · Jan 14, 2009, 15:14:28

They have been working on the server today.

Sebby · Jan 14, 2009, 20:14:50

Can I suggest they use a desk next time?

I'm now getting bandwidth usage figures hourly, which is a bit of a pain. Anyone else getting this?

Steve · Jan 15, 2009, 21:11:44

Not sure I know what you mean, however I can see a time on my bookmark feed link in firefox,also my upload is quoted down to 7 decimal places.

colirv · Jan 15, 2009, 22:53:50

I used to get one of these

once a day. I'm now getting them every hour, with the end time (21.13.10.0 in the example) increased by an hour.

Steve · Jan 15, 2009, 23:17:12

Sorry for being stupid but is this an RSS feed into your email client? if so can you not change how often it asks to be updated?

colirv · Jan 16, 2009, 00:36:16

Thanks Steve - you're not the one being stupid! I'd forgotten I'd set it up originally, and for some reason the setting had reverted to a default. Doh!

Steve · Jan 16, 2009, 08:48:19

NP,I use Thunderbird and even though it is set to update every 100 minutes I am not bombarded by repeated updates,I just normally click on the Firefox toolbar where I have a idnet RSS bookmark is located.

Rik · Jan 16, 2009, 10:22:26

There does seem to have been a change to the RSS feed, which used to be updated daily, and is now being updated hourly. The problem is, as the day goes on, the projection becomes less accurate. The number of decimal places has been fixed.

Steve · Jan 16, 2009, 15:29:42

Presumably work in progress, as at the moment it is not available to me at all via RSS

Rik · Jan 16, 2009, 15:41:45

Just checking...
