I dont see how they would know you're a lamppost (erm...Pole
) - you're a UK resident and I presume you applied with your UK address. A "foreign sounding name" means nothing....
Agree with glceud on not allowing the same ISPs in the same tournament, however can understand how harsh this sounds to couples (and suspect genuine cheats will have no problem getting around it - 2 x PCs next to one another can easily have totally unrelated IP addresses.
I dont feel we've had particularly good communication from Everest though - they've accepted full culpability, but not really gone into what the error was and how it went so wrong
The only official word (I dont believe or trust anything customer service reps from any poker company say - they do genuinely seem to get it wrong more often than they get it right) is what is on the Inside Poker website

Prior to running the promotion InsidePoker was informed by Everest Poker there was no limit on reader eligibility beyond the tournament capacity of 2000.
However, once the promotion went live Everest revealed they had placed a limit on reader entrants

This doesn't say anything about an error - just that they changed their minds. There is no reasoning offered though as to why they changed their minds
