Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Always on, dependable, dedicated.

I've been a customer since 2017, and in those 8 years, I think I've only needed to contact IDNet twice regarding connection issues...TWICE. The service has been, and still is as guaranteed as turning on a tap in your home and water appears. I'm now on FTTP and experiencing speeds I never knew were possible where I live, but this comes with my reasoning for 1 point off this time.

Over the course of a few weeks I notice that I 'lose' speed, up to 50% (ironically it's still 5 times faster than I had before FTTP) but it's not what I'm paying for. I will caveat this by also adding my router could be at fault as when I reboot it, the connection speed normally recovers. Slightly inconvenient, so 4/5

Very good ISP.

Only ever had to ring the helpline once - my fault but they were superb.
Service never goes down.
Good speeds, fair prices.

Over 20 years with ID NET

I’ve been with IDNET for over 20 years, and they continue to be one of the most reliable companies I’ve ever used. In all that time, outages have been extremely rare, speeds have consistently been excellent, and their customer support is outstanding — always helpful, knowledgeable, and quick to respond.

It’s reassuring to have an internet provider that’s dependable year after year. I highly recommend IDNET to anyone looking for a stable, trustworthy service with first-class support.

One of the best broadband providers

The best feature of iDNET is its team of helpers who will respond to telephone queries within one minute normally. Just as important, the broadband service is competitive in speed also consistent and dependable. These are the main reasons I have stayed with it for 15 years.
I believe it has taken on VoIP services relatively recently and that included me. After some teething troubles my VoIP service works well. Though even now my old analogue phone with a bell does not ring . I have had to add a ringer to the circuit. This seems a common problem across all providers.

Not a bad company as such but ..

Not a bad company as such but ... firstly they messed up the transfer from the previous provider by attempting to cancel the wrong account (although this was rectified quickly ) .... and secondly, there is very little in the way of guidance provided on how to set things up. It's fine if you are already an expert in this area but they need to realise that many people aren't.

Reply from IDNet

Dear Leo,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback - we really appreciate you letting us know about your experience so far.

I’ve reviewed your order and the way it was handled to see whether there was anything we could have done differently. When the order was placed through our website, we processed it exactly as the information was entered. You later let us know that the details provided were for a different account, and we acted quickly to cancel and resubmit the order based on the corrected information. Because we can only work from what is supplied at the point of ordering, we had no way of knowing those details referred to another account.

I’ve also spoken with the team member who assisted you and they confirmed that no request was made at the time for guidance on setting up the service. We’re always happy to provide help where we can, but in this case the questions related to configuring your own existing handset so our ability to give detailed support is limited.

For customers who purchase hardware directly from us, it arrives fully pre-configured. As noted on our website, we’re unable to provide full support for third-party equipment, although we will always do our best to offer general guidance wherever possible.

That said, we’re committed to ensuring every customer has a smooth experience, and I’m sorry that aspects of the process felt unclear. If you need any further help or have more questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch - we will be happy to assist.

Sincerely,
IDNet

Great customer service

Great customer service. Had a few disruptions but that was due to bad weather but overall I am happy with the service. My son’s both game and I steam tv from Netflix, nowtv, Apple TV etc and we never get any lagging issues.
