Can you please tell us your speed now?sailor wrotenormal plan is just fine like beforegamer4life wroteSo it seems there's a problem with the unlimited plan from IDM.eliosassine wroteI live in jounieh had a 2mb 20gb plan got upgraded to unlimited but with speed now between 30 - 80 KB/s (downloading battlefield 4 from origin ) . I hope they fix this soon.
Anyone having issues with the normal plans??
i had 2mb 10gb now its 2mb 40gb
my download 240-260kps on internet download manager
my ping to google 90ms 93ms
still same like before

And....? Please explain more what you mean.kfc wrotei dont think so because they start their fair use policy by defining UNLIMITED ACCESS / UNLIMITED TRAFFIC!!!
it means that the scope of application of fair use policy is the period of UNLIMITED ACCESS / UNLIMITED TRAFFIC. otherwise why the need to define UNLIMITED ACCESS / UNLIMITED TRAFFIC?gamer4life wroteAnd....?

Guys for the best monitoring of your speeds I recommend using a network meter, like networx on windows. http://www.softperfect.com/products/networx/
All those online speed tests are extremely inaccurate.
You can see your speed fluctuation second by second when downloading from your preferred services, to make sure your connection is stable. It measures in bits/s or bytes/s. And as an added bonus you can keep a tally of your capacity usage

No, it's scope is not necessarily the UNLIMITED night, if you keep reading on how it works, they said they will be monitoring your consumption during periods(focus on the S) If they meant between 11-7 they would've said this just period.kfc wroteit means that the scope of application of fair use policy is the period of UNLIMITED ACCESS / UNLIMITED TRAFFIC. otherwise why the need to define UNLIMITED ACCESS / UNLIMITED TRAFFIC?gamer4life wroteAnd....?

Yesterday I downloaded a 3GB file between 11-3 and watched a lot of videos after then and my speed didn't drop a KB. For the FUP to be applied it would have been applied directly like the guys with the unlimited plans who directly got FUP'd.
Yesterday i downloaded 5 gb during the day at a 256 kb/s speed. When i came back home my speed was dropped to 128kb/s. I started downloading again at 11 pm and the speed was back to normal (256kb/s). I'm on the 2mbps/unlimited plan so FUP seems not to be applied on the free night traffic.
Yup, that's what I'm trying to say.NickTheQuick wroteYesterday i downloaded 5 gb during the day at a 256 kb/s speed. When i came back home my speed was dropped to 128kb/s.

FUP is not at night it's during the day.

unless you are subscribe to the unlimited plan, i felt the FUP the next day when i downloaded at night.
@rtp
You're subscribed to what? And when did your speed decrease? And what time was your heavy downloading before the FUP?

I just called IDM 's customer care and I got the following reply:
- Regarding FUP, she said that it applies to unlimited plans only, It doesn't apply to plans with pre-defined quotas even at night!
- Regarding speed upgrades, she told me that if you are not already getting 2 mbps, it means that your line can't handle such speed. Yesterday, the technical support had told me that my line can handle 2 mbps and it will be upgraded within 2 days. Whom should I believe? Or both sides are clueless about the reality???

check your line attenuation. And about how far are you from the central?
- Edited
Attenuation is 51 and i live 5km away from the central. but the technical support confirmed i can get 2 mbps.
That's weird, try calling them another time and ask another person.
51db attenuation should in theory allow about 4mbps connection. But you also have to consider signal quality (SNR).
Note that the SNR will automatically deteriorate when you sync at a higher speed, because you lose some of the error correction capability on the line when you increase the sync bandwidth (more bins/tones used for data)

I did that. They new guy told me that not all centrals were upgraded. A set of centrals is planned to be upgraded today and another set tomorrow. He said that in principle, my line can get 2 mbps but he will ask IDM guys at the central to perform a feasibility test and get back to me tomorrow with a 100% confirmed answer. Si I got hope back :Dgamer4life wroteThat's weird, try calling them another time and ask another person.

SN is 8. is that good?trent wrote51db attenuation should in theory allow about 4mbps connection. But you also have to consider signal quality (SNR).

It's bad man. Sorry !kfc wroteSN is 8. is that good?trent wrote51db attenuation should in theory allow about 4mbps connection. But you also have to consider signal quality (SNR).

If SN is 8 how much it will deteriorate if speed increases from 1 to 2 mbps?trent wrote51db attenuation should in theory allow about 4mbps connection. But you also have to consider signal quality (SNR).
