Feedback for IDM

I just noticed recently that IDM introduced the Fair Usage Policy to its internet. Can I please know if anyone is encountering any speed reduction after the...

Techxero, I know. Downloads using accelerators or torrents are not affected. However, IDM is doing that anyways during peak hours. I used 300 Mb all day yesterday so it is not based on your download. By doing that they are affecting browsing /using apps on your mobile and streaming. Maybe I have to stream something for work during the peak hours what to do? Sorry I can't do that since I have a 4mbps connection but in reality it is 512 kps!

Same issue here. I am trying to learn Ubuntu via live Courses. But sadly single threaded so peak hours when the live courses take place IDM limiting us. Just coz they decided to.

It's kinda illogical, as usual in Lebanon they do things backwards. Why? Coz peak hours as they decided is from noon to 6/7pm exactly when everyone is busy at work and will not be using the Internet. Very clever.... NOT!

I hate this place!

True, you have to apply for a 8 Mbps plan to get 1, of course only if you live inside a CO!

Hey peeps.

Funny fact I discovered, dunno how long it will last, but, since switching back to limited, I haven't suffered any FUP, my connection been rock solid day n night.

The funny thing I noticed, is that, ever since switching back, IDM ain't counting the time I stream in. For example, yesterday, I have streamed 2 hours on Comedy Central app on my iPad, in 480p, my mom streamed 3 hours on YouTube too. That must have totaled at least a gig or more.

And when we weren't streaming I downloaded like 980mb on my PC. I wake up today, check consumption, they only counted the 980mb I downloaded on my PC not the streaming. To make sure, I did the same today and so far they have not yet included my 4 hours of streaming.

Weird eh?

wollyka

Weird, because here they count the streaming as normal.

As you can see what am saying is true. The 1.4gb you see for today is PC only not streaming. I got the OSX Yosemite update and other crap.

Check your consumption tomorrow. I've noticed a 2 day delay on their website.. I'm sure you will see it tomorrow!

I will do just that. Hope they don't fix it lol.

Online games are unplayable after 11pm...just because consumption is free at that time does not mean that it has the gaming experience for the rest of us.
If it does not get better soon , i'm changing to ogero...and i don't care if i have to wait 2 months or even 3, i'm paying 50$ per month , i expect a stable connection.

just wait a week or so as for Ogero users to finally get their new plans(unlimited included) activated as we're planning to put the "unlimited" word to the test and see if there will be a FUP or not so to give other users who want to join feedback on this.

speenxya

well it's got nothing to do with FUP , its been like that since before the update too , but it happened less frequently. the latency is good , but getting too much spikes and jitters. Hope it would get fixed.

andrew55

You're right. It's annoying! and i still don't think they received any E1s from MOT yet...

Online gaming in Lebanon never was any good. That's why I never got into it. I only play single player. Plus I only get pirated games so not a choice anyway.

I do have 133 games I bought on Steam via bundles. Can't download coz of the so awesome connection here (sarcasm)...

speenxya

actually its not bad , if you play european servers , the latency is 130ms or so , which is great. but it seems to flunctuate at IDM in those free times...

Ok, so you play during FNQ time, but how do you download your games ? They are huge. Like Wolfenstein was 44gb. So decided to cut the corners n get pirated version just coz I could ask friends to help download it.
