i'm terranet
i have a 512k connection
i got a message from terranet on my phone saying starting october 1 my internet speed will be 8x more
when i got home and opened the internet, i got a terranet launch page that showed my 512k will become 2mbps, my 4GB up and 4GB down limits will become 20GB, as of october 1.
1 or 2 hours later i got an email from terranet saying "your dsl account has been successfully refilled"
i went to it and checked and realized it wasnt (i was worried actually coz i've been hearing some people's quotas being stolen and i didnt order a refill)
i double checked connection history + quota it was still the same as yesterday
i went to speedtest.net to check my internet speed and i got a result of 1.2mbps
i tested a download that was queued (as you can see in the screen) and the speed was 210-230KB\s
note that the thing i was downloading is a ~2 hour episode in 360p xvid quality and estimated download time was 58 minutes (which means streaming is a reality at last)
note however, don't get trapped and addicted to the numbers as i just have.
i usually get the quota refill email at 12 am when the new month sets in. So i thought maybe that has occured and new connection speeds = new quota.
I thought wrong and 300mb cost me 3$ in the old system (coz im already past quota for this month, as i have been for the past week :)
hopefully the last 3$ that i will ever pay for going past the cap!
EDIT:
it has "ended"
yep. haven't seen 200KB\s in a few days...
Yest i had 140KB\s in the afternoon.
Now i have 30-64KB\s, and its after 8 too i used to get more before (i'd have 80KB\s around this time)...
sigh....
EDIT:
Alrite it seems the speeds were fixed again for me (must have been that marseille incident)
yesterday i left my comp on overnight and i can report some download speeds
from 11pm to 2am, speed was 50-60KB\s
from 2am to 3am, speed was 90KB\s
from 3 to 4am, speed was 140KB\s
from 4am to 7am, speed was 190-200KB\s
downloaded in total: 3.15GB over one night (but i started at 1am not 11pm, and last download finished 7:08AM)
