Aveline wroteI don't see my internet connection getting FUPed today, even though I'm still on an unlimited plan and I usually get FUPed even before the day starts. Do you think it's just a Eid thing? Anyone else experiencing normal download speeds on unlimited?
Doesn't mean anything. Just means there hasn't been enough downloads to warrant an FUP. It happened to me on many occasions. For short periods of time.

I do know the basic requirements of an FUP to take an effect, it's just that it's been happening to me regardless of usage for more than a week now. Usually at this time I'd experience dreadfully low download speeds even if I haven't downloaded anything. Anyway I'm downloading now so I'll see whether or not I'll get FUPed later today.
Ok let us know. All am saying is that it's random and not to get your hopes up too high or you will be crashing over n over again. I know coz I been there. Now am on limited and have been using around 5gb/day daily with no FUP at all. Now am happy.
I just downloaded 730MB in exactly an hour. No signs of speeds slowing down. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Good. Hope so too.
I just realized something. Today is a national holiday, so there's probably no one in the offices to FUP anyone to begin with O_O

Time to abuse the connection!

It is automatic :)
I called the sales today to check if they will give me the 4mbps. They said my line can't handle it, however the tech support made a test about two weeks ago and told me it can handle 8mbps. Therefore they are nothing but a bunch of liars.
If ogero doesn't upgrade the COs they then ISPs (probably except sodetel) can't give more than 4 Mbps.. i don't know how much leeway IDM has with regards to this issue...
I didn't ask for more than 4mbps.
What is your speed now, line Attenuation and snr margin?



Attenuation: down: 44 up: 31 SNR: down: 17 up: 33

The down SNR is around 33 dB using another modem.
Theorically you could get 4 Mbps easily. However, I have seen people with better stats than you (down Attenuation in the 30) and they refused to give them 4mbps. I think it also depends on the CO

It does depend on COs. I can have 4mbps yet CO not equipped to deliver.

The CO is already equipped with speeds higher than 4mbps, a friend of mine already have a 4mbps (old plans) before the upgrade, we're from the same CO. Some of them, their CO really isn't equipped with such speeds, but mostly it is due to Ogero refusing to give you your desired speed simply because they can, unless you know someone from their side.

Distance from CO matters too. Plays a big role. Further you are the worse the connection.
I know, but I am not too far from the CO, about 2.0km and my router's results are more than a proof that it can easily handle the speed I requested.

I see. Am 4km away so no can do for me. Also I discovered that Broadcom based Routers are best suited for our crappy Internet. Anything else might cause issues. Like I got an extremely fast router but doesn't have Broadcom chip, therefore I get a lot of disconnections.
On the Thomson I get a better down SNR, on the Linksys which I am currently using, the down SNR is lower by 12/19 dB but no disconnections at all and it is running pretty well even if it shows a low SNR sometimes.

Which Linksys do you have? I got the X3500 has slow UI Unusable cost me $150 for nothing. Doesn't even have external Antennas #Fail
