Zennon Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I used to be with IDnet on ADSL years ago before TT LLU became available, they were the best ADSL provider I had used to date at the time before I moved to ADSL2+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBull2k Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 yeah i spotted it on the 13th the day they launched it, thought i would wait to see if you guys posted about it as you had attention from an ISP. Can i get on the coal mine test? for the early spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sncjez Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 seems pricey at 61.80 a month nice spot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBull2k Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 it is compared to what i pay(£7.50) for 80/20 package, over 8x what im paying now, but that is with a budget isp in Plusnet. I feel so tempted to go and get it, no other dsl isp has offered a connection targeted at gamers and streamers, they say "Your data will be given priority at the exchange over standard DSL traffic, thus delivering faster speeds, especially during peak times" they also say they have peering links to most gaming servers https://www.idnet.net/downloads/IDNet-Peering-List.pdf and the other bit of information all connections get put on the 80/20 profile even if your max line is 20/6, maybe there could be a benefit here.

Didn't notice that included line rental also you can reduce the price to 56 quid a month for a one year payment does look interesting anyone know if the Hauwei BT modems would work with this as we already have the duma. Prolly see how duma os goes before thinking further as i'm currently out of contract with BT they have been pretty decent TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBull2k Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 yeah that modem will work. so the more im reading and talking i wonder what the negatives are: price point does it really do what it says on the tin. How can you compare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth_01 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Oooh sound kinda promising, nice spot the Redbull. Anyone manage to find any reviews of this floatig around anywhere? Would obviously like to hear the pro's and cons before even contemplating it. Although if it does what it says on the tin i may just be switching providers sooner rather than later.

progprogprog Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I am just about to change over to idnet on adsl as that's all I can have currently.

RedBull2k Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 are you going on the gaming package? Did you take the no hardware option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progprogprog Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I went for the no hardware option on gaming package My line is fixed at 1Mbps down 288Kbps up due to error with bt business broadband so I am hoping I can get my sync rate back to 2.5-448 as it used to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBull2k Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 what are the stats like on fastpath, have you got any gaming done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progprogprog Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 It's basically plays the same now as before with bt But I have a lot more bandwidth to play with now So my bufferbloat tests are big improvement Plus the family can stream,Facebook e.t.c. One great tip I can give you is to have pingplotter running on a PC while you do a http://www.speedtest.netthen change congestion control until your ping stays in the green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonicBoom Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 One great tip I can give you is to have pingplotter running on a PC while you do a http://www.speedtest.net then change congestion control until your ping stays in the green That is a great tip, I'd would recommend over dslreports every time. But 'green' is relative because you can set the parameters in the preferences for what ping is 'green' and I think by default it's up to 100ms (on the Mac version at least). And spikes nearly reaching 100ms would obviously be no good if your base ping is really low, like 8ms. What you want to do is set Ping Plotter running and then run a speedtest while your anti-flood is set at 100/100, then you will see how big the spikes can be without the anti-flood. Then obviously adjust your sliders and run the speedtest again. When you hit the point that the suppression is handling the buffer bloat spikes it will be obvious because they will be tiny compared to the unsuppressed ones from a minute before.

RedBull2k Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 idnet no longer offer the r1 in their hardware choices. thats a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth_01 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 idnet no longer offer the r1 in their hardware choices. thats a shame. I believe its because of the issues it was having connecting via PPPoE. Everytime I restart my modem its a pain in the arse re-connecting. Takes forever. Hopefully the new update can sort this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
