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.
Feedback for IDM
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).

i was just upgraded to 2mbps hahaha :D
Congrats man :Dkfc wrotei was just upgraded to 2mbps hahaha :D

Congrats! You really want your SNR to stay above 10db to leave some room for normal fluctuation due to temperature changes and unavoidable interference.

Edit: Enable bitswapping on your modem if it's not already. It helps prevent disconnects/reconnects (resync) when interference occurs since your signal is marginal

thanks :D. This shows that the customer care arent reliable regarding technical stuff. So how much can we trust what they are telling us regarding the FUP?gamer4life wroteCongrats man :Dkfc wrotei was just upgraded to 2mbps hahaha :D

That's great! Although really 1 or 2 mbps isn't really using that much of ADSL2+ potential (24mbps) to start with :Pkfc wroteThanks :D SN stayed at 8 although speed doubled!trent wroteCongrats!

90% of the bandwidth is still available for error correction.
But do enable bitswap if it's not already.
From my experience it's only at daytime, because my speed is not above 1.3M today, but yesterday after 8pm it became 2M till today morning.kfc wrotethanks :D.

Btw how are you contacting them? I've been trying from yesterday and the line is always busy. I need to change my plan.
