But I'm asking Cavillas specifically because HE is the one experiencing it & HE says he is with IDnet

Your reply was to a post made in 2011, and Alf hasn't posted on tbb since February 2014, so I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a reply

I've been with IDNet for over 10 years, I can't remember them ever cold-calling me.



eta- you definitely won't get a reply...

I've just received the sad news that Alf (cavillas) passed away on Friday, after a long illness.

Do you realise you have replied to a thread that is over 6 years old so will be unlikely to get a response. He was with IDNET at the time but did not say that they had cold called him.

I don't come here as often as I used to so I missed that.

Very sad, as Alf was always one of the regular posters back when I joined 'netters' some 9 years ago.

Blimey I am so sorry! It's the top thread in the forum so I didn't look at dates.

EVERYBODY I am suitably shamefaced

Why does no one post in this forum then are IDnet to be avoided? Drat!

Far from it, they're very good. But they don't go for a mass-market, they're more of a niche provider. The niche being those who are more interested in the overall quality of the product than how much they have to pay for it- they're not cheap.

Remember the guide about what to look for in an ISP:

1) Fast, reliable connection
2) Good customer service
3) Low price

Choose any two.

When a provider is fairly small and services generally work then people tend not to post most...

The classic you will only hear the bad news stories rather than all those happy with their lot
