The OOH number should be able to give you better answers, Rick, and we are feeding back information from this thread to IDNet, to help improve things. I'm happy to give you my phone number to check with if you want to.

Sorry, if I've no internet I'd find it rather difficult to visit these forums.!


The suggest came about because these days many people have a secondry method to connect to the internet. Often this is using a smartphone or 3G dongle.

Can I ask if it was all types of connections that were down or was it only adsl?

We're not 100% sure, Lona, but it seems fibre, 21CN (ADSL2+) and, definitely, LLU connections were unaffected.

That's just what I thought.  I read on another forum that when some isps start other services the Adsl customers suffer but I could be wrong.

The problem was in the BT network, Lona, so it just hit people connected to a particular part of that network, a while back, it would have hit everyone as we were all using the same service.

Would 21CN be an improvement on Adsl and do Idnet do it?

Lorna - no loss of ADSL2+ but my router log does show a loss of IPv6 but I suspect that the two are not linked! ADSL2+ is 21CN. You need to check whether your exchange is 21CN enabled.

The reason I asked is that one Isp I looked at when I put in my phone number stated that they could offer me 21CN and I didn't know what it was.  On Idnet's website 21CN isn't mentioned.

ADSL2+ is delivered over 21CN and so yes IDNet do it

21CN is a programme started by BT to standardise their network systems as apparently there were over 10 different systems.

Just been back into Idnet website and I am on adsl max. It says adsl2 should be available but I can't seem to upgrade.

Give support a call as there's a bit of a lag between the new kit being put in and when you can actually upgrade to ADSL 2+

Unless you get over 4 Meg you are prob better on ADSL Max anyway.

This site is pretty up to date re availability http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=25633&s_cid=con_ppc_maxus_vidZ59_Broadband&vendorid=Z59&sissr=1

Enter your phone's number in "Check your speed"

It will give you the possible options, if adsl2+ is available and you cannot upgrade via the customer portal email support at idnet dot com with your request.

Though, in my case, I went from 3M to 4M, Mitch, so you can get lucky. IAC, making the move gains you the extra bandwidth allowance and, if the line isn't stable, it can be re-modulated back to Max, but retaining the allowance.

I thought that but BT didn't say anything about Adsl 2

I have sent a request to Idnet so will wait and see what they say

21CN seems more stable than in the early days, now, and could give you significant benefits.

They could offer me BT total BB at an estimated speed of 8mb, same as I have at the moment with Idnet.

Yes I had already looked at Samknows but I can honestly say llu is not available in Beith unless you go to Talk Talk.

I tried to join bethere and it couldn't offer me a connection.

I wonder why I can't upgrade on Idnet website. :dunno:

The LLU services available are TalkTalk and Sky, I couldn't upgrade via the website recently either but an email to support solved the issue.
