Congrats man :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?

That's great! Although really 1 or 2 mbps isn't really using that much of ADSL2+ potential (24mbps) to start with :P
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.
Btw how are you contacting them? I've been trying from yesterday and the line is always busy. I need to change my plan.

1282 or 04 727733
I tried them always busy...

Edit: They finally answered, he told me that IDM didn't start with the upgrade yet, only quota was added, that's why I'm downloading at 2M speed :P
As for the FUP, it applies at daytime not between 11-7, he told me 11-7 is totally unlimited. He doesn't know the average of GBs that shouldn't be exceeded. And he also mentioned that if I was FUP'd the speed will affect the whole day, even at night.
no FUP during night time? IDM here I come..
And he also mentioned that if I was FUP'd the speed will affect the whole day, even at night.
does that mean FUP lasts 1 day or what? I'm interested in knowing how to avoid it from happening if i plan to switch.

At their website the FUP could be daily or monthly. It depends an average they calculate.

I really forgot to ask, but we were talking about my plan and then I asked about FUP. If it was for just the unlimited plans he would've directly told me it only applies on it.

what about the new plans? did you get to choose any ?
thanks for clarification, so it depends on many unknown factors, best to be safe and download at nights is what i'm deducing thus far.

Did anyone here experience IDM's FUP? how bad is it? what happens to latency and online gaming while you're under FUP?

well i downloaded 5gb yesterday and i think i got FUPed. my speed went down from 2mb to 1mb since yesterday afternoon until now. ping is bit higher than usual (10 to 20 ms) but i dunno if it is because the FUP or because i have an unlimited plan.

He told me to try after a week because they are currently busy with the upgrades.

Did you do these downloads in the middle of the day or after midnight?
How are you finding online games with the unlimited plan? is the ping stable[10-20ms higher isn't much if stability is of no issue]? that is if you game.

it isn't in in their interest to apply a day-FUP on plans with a pre-defined quota. on the contrary, they want you to consume ur whole quota and then pay for extra GBs no?

that is true. no FUP for limited plans that's for sure
