Throttled connection with IDM

kareem_nasser

My internet isp is IDM i have used 6 GB of unlimited internet on day 22 of the month (my first ) ADSL2+ account 512kilobits/sec but when i download something using download helper on FF from different sites the result is a disaster 30 kilobytes max but sometimes 70 at the same time if i use speedtest.net my download will be normal 900 kilobits/sec after 8pm (from different servers) . WHAT IS THAT? is it the fair usage policy ?

P.S : i did those tests at 2:30 am exactly.

I think this is because of the maintenance : http://dbmaintenance.idm.net.lb/support/scheduled_maintenance/index.asp

IDM replied to my email and they said there is no fair usage policy so we can use the unlimited time as much as we want but i may have some issues so they sent me some test to reply them the results and i have done that.

today they called me and said to retest at another time today so i did at 11:45 (before the electricity goes off XD)

Man, this is really pissing me off at 11pm exactly the download will decrease really and when IDM saw the result they said that this was impossible and remember it is only the Download rate which diminishes.

It seems no one can help but there are over 200 views...... Well i did the test again for them because i sent them message again to check what is happening and they replied to do the test which i did but things are starting to make me really angry and some of my friends at university are asking if IDM is good and are waiting for my answer so i may need to tell that to IDM.

why do they even call it adsl2, adsl2 is supposed to be more then 12 mbps, anyways, i think adsl is influenced a lot on your location (how far from the central your phone cables are). Try checking the signal noise by accessing your modem and compare it with someone, if it's abnormal call them and ask them to send a technician.
