Re: Feedback for IDM

@Abou7meed
For the upload true, the client support asked me also to repeat the whole process and pay around 50$ to switch DSP backbone. And then they can give me the 1 upload.

If you can see now SODETEL is boosting its marketing as a final breath to bring back customers, they are literally broke... And IDM is following their path... I have been with IDM for 3 years... the connection was once down for 2 straight month, a second time for two weeks...

As soon as I have time I will be cancel my subscription with them and try out connect the wireless thing

Same here between 6:pm and 11 pm I have the crappiest connection ever....

IDM was good, now it is became just as anyother "dekkeneh"...

The Upload thing was never clarified at the beginning, lama (tekol edarob)  .... Ohh Mesyoo there must be misunderstanding, cancel and pay and bla bla bla

and the slow down time is weird, I think they themselves know about the issue and (hopefully working on it)  but never tell anyone !

By the way, they changed my account to the Dynamic Real IP thing, slow time (6-7 to 11-12 PM) is still the same,
I didn't notice that major drop down in ping times..... - 10/20 ms maybe (in some Xbox One games)

Re: Feedback for IDM

By the way, I used to subscribe to rapidgator to download Movies/Music/Games....But (Resume Supported  =  to pause/resume your download) can't work on IDM connection, I tried Wise On IDM and 2 different DSL locations no luck, seems IDM uses something to lock this feature,
But on Ogero/Terranet connection the resume feature works normally,

What about other file host sharing on IDM,  Uploaded.net / hugefiles / .......what do you use guys to download ?!

You can download warez (Music/Games/Software/etc...) either by
1. Torrents (peer-to-peer connection)
2. Direct links (file hosting servers) ex: rapidgator , uploaded , etc....

Usually direct links are faster and doesn't depend on "seeding" of what you want !

They use it, yes, every ISP uses it. I talked to them about turning it off and changing to fast path and they said that we did everything possible to reduce pings on your line and that there is no thing as interleaving. Then I sent them an email containing a link about interleaving, and they said "sir, ma baaref aan chou aam tehke bass ma fi chi esmo interleaving". I told them to get informed and ask anyone about it and they hung up on me!

Re: Feedback for IDM

Well today i called them to ask them about high latency and slow download speeds. I told the support guy that using vpn is boosting download speed from 20 kB to 230 kB and guess what he answered...... "there must be some internal problem in your modem, you must change it"... like really? -_- Does he even know what a vpn is? Then i asked him if i m getting throttled and he told me to hold on. I waited more than 10 min "holding on" then hang up and recalled. Another guy answered and I re asked him if i m getting throttled so he told me that there is congestion on my central and that i have to wait even when i told him that vpn "solves" my problem. Its like he indirectly confirmed that they are throttling.

Just a question, what VPN are you using and how does latency get affected?

Re: Feedback for IDM

Supper Official i m using hotspot shield elite. It stabilizes my frequency at around 110 ms. However everything seems throttled: app store, google Play store, steam , League of legends... How can i convince them to stop throttling... I mean steam store updates at 40 kB/s without vpn and 230 kB with vpn... I m 200% sure i m getting heavily throttled and either the supports are idiots or they dont want to admit it.

what is you monthly download usage ? I mean it makes no sense for them to throttle you unless you have a tremendous usage !!! also can you please check your security (wifi password + scan your pc for viruses and malware).

Re: Feedback for IDM

Does anyone have an idea on how long will it take to switch from IDM to Ogero? I really need unlimited internet and IDM's FUP is just aweful, throttling you even after watching a couple of YouTube videos. And I need at least 150gb a month.

Re: Feedback for IDM

i think 3 months since you cannot apply to ogero before removing IDM

edit: unless you have "WASTA" in IDM and "WASTA" in OGERO and "WASTA" in the nearest central

there is no FUP on 6 and 8 mb plans

I have 2M. Attenuation is 47dB down and sn margin is 25 down. Don't remember the other numbers as i have my modem set to bridge mode. I think I can get 5-6 mbps, but sure I can't get 8mbps.

Re: Feedback for IDM

just started my new 2mbps unlimited plan with IDM this month. all i can say is that calling it a 2mbps connection is a joke. cant even get to 1mbps with all the FUP, does ogero have FUP on unlimited plans?

Ogero has absolutely no FUP whatsoever on all its plans, but they only offer one unlimited plan(2mbps). I've been on this plan since August 2014 and I haven't noticed a single drop in speed or spike in latency even after downloading sometimes 150GBs in one month. If you really need true unlimited and $50/month is not a problem for you I'd highly recommend it.

Re: Feedback for IDM

there is no way you can get the 8mbps with ogero unless you have snr margin for download > 60db... i used to have the 2mbps with an snr of 35db and when i switched to 4mbps it decreased to 24db and i started to get crc errors everytime i get a phone call..

What plan are you now ?
Btw, I am IDM user on 4MB/50GB downloading almost every night, didn't notice any FUP, been with them 1.5 month only,
