P2p

Maxping, how are IDnet with P2P? do they throttle speeds?

I know they have a cap, and I am not a heavy user. 30gb is easily enough for me per month. but if they do throttle speeds, then I will have to look elsewhere.

Always worth looking at the ISPs own forums aswell for answers.

Hi Stealth, they do not throttle or shape at all, they also do not count the uploads to-wards your monthly usage .

I don't know if you have been to the official site but they recently added a new package with a 60GB allowance , extra GB's can be bought for £1 per GB.

Kits thanks for posting the link the more the merrier.

I would like to add that the IDNETters forums are unofficial IDNet forums though IDNet have put a link to them from their home page , we must be doing something right :laugh:

Simon the co owner of IDNet also uses the forums.

many thanks Max, sounds great. any downloading I do, is in peak times. so to get very slow speeds during this time, would put me off. I do not expect to download at super speeds all the time duting peak hours. but as long as it's reasonable, then I would be happy with that. as I say, 30gb would be great for me. when I 1st got DSL over 1.5 years ago, all I looked for was "unlimited" I would now look for a capped ISP. quality is far more important than how much you can download. hopefully capped ISPs can slow down the hoardes of people who download 24/7.
