Good Isp Cause Pipex Are Rubbish

[equk]

but avengeruk moved away from idnet, got the same problems on entanet then moved back and its fine - doesnt seem to be any ping problems on www.idnetters.co.uk (idnet forum) anymore since about october last year

Probably because the new moderator/admin flamed anyone who posted a problem on the forum linking to his sticky telling them to do a 10minute router restart.

normally a 10 minute reboot does the trick for me

I had loads of pm's from people when I left saying they were going to leave, not just because of the problems but because of a certain moderator flaming their posts.

If you're happy to leave your router off for 10minutes to maybe fix ping problems then I guess it's up to you, but if you have a league match it's not really much help

this seems to be a rare occurance but i seem to have that problem on pipex, im leaving pipex if i can cause of the 4gb month usage limit which i always exceed. i have very high ping, it is 300ms on bf2142, webpages like hotmail take weeks to load, google is slow. msn also disconnects every 5 mins and xfire also disconnects randomly.

is this a non fixable service or will moving to another provider make it better.

cheers

I've been with IDNET for over a year at 2 locations. At least 4 of my good mates have IDNET connections.

Any problems have been sorted very quickly and IDNET always kept me informed of the progress.

I think the phrase "can't please all the people all the time" comes to mind. But I know IDNET certainly tried to

EDIT: Unless your BT line sucks I reckon you won't see those problems on IDNET

i've been with them for about 7 months, not a single problem.

I switched from ZEN who were excellent to IDNET who have been the same just a bit cheaper thanks to OC3D.

im currently with nildram (who are part of pipex yes), but i have a 50gb cap which gets rolled over to the next month if i dont use it.

and also they deal with issues generally within 24-48 hours of an email/phone call

btw

nildram are the guys who host jolt.co.uk servers.

my pings on UK servers are about 20, and when my BT line isn't mucking up i get about 7mbps

I have been with UKFSN since September last year and my only problem is that Interleaving has been enabled for a good few months now but BT say it isnt and cant turn it off.

This is becoming a recurring problem for alot of people.

Are you kidding?

I thought the same.

PlusNet suck, was with them before joining UKFSN, terrible customer support and throttled speeds.

Demon are pretty reliable.

But since being taken over by Thus, the CS has gone down hill.
