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.
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.

even for plans with a pre-defined quota?
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.
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

Yea that's totally logic, but we shouldn't forget that the 2M is shared sometimes between 3 users.
This is an important reason for applying it on the given quota. That's why it's called FAIR!! usage policy between users.
I'll illustrate more by an example: When I start downloading torrents I reach my full speed, but when my brother comes home to download any file, he doesn't even reach 0.2M out of the 1M. It's like first come first serve. I even read on the internet about softwares that let you connect faster to your ISP to secure fast internet if your bandwidth is shared.
For that I find it reasonable applying FUP at daytime with regular packages.
I will repost here for idm users (was in general section)

I was at first informed that I can upgrade speed after the first of July, however it is not. (idm, Mazraa CO)
Dear Mr. ,
We would like to thank you for your email, and inform you that upgrading your account to 8M, cannot be processed for the time being, due to technical limitations where all upgrades from the side of the Ministry have not been completed yet. We will inform you whenever the change speed can be processed.
Mmmmm I don't think this includes lower speeds, the 8M and above are still not upgraded by the centrals that's why they told you that.
I asked them today and they told me to choose my plan next week.
I am noticing weird changes today compared to yesterday:
- "Maximum bandwith" suddenly increased to 5000kbps mnstead of 4000.
- Bandwith stayed at 2100 kbps
- SN increased from 8 to 21.
- Attenuation stayed at 51.
- DL speed using "Internet download manager" dropped from a constant 220-230 kb/s yesterday to 150-170 today (with great fluctuations between 100 and 200). On speedtest, it is 1.1 Mbps. On testmy.net, it is 26kb/s!!!!!

Why did my speed drop today?
The same thing happened to me after the upgrade, seems everyones account was opened to have 2M rather than 1M, and ogero still didn't complete its implementation to IDM. That's why our speeds are dropping below 1M and sometimes above. I really don't have any other explanation for what's happening.
They probably increased the voltage at the CO which might explain the increased SNR. Keep monitoring your line.. As for the connection i think everyone is having instability...
am prepaid IDM, anybody know how to switch to the new plan?
I called IDM and they told me i should wait till the 7th and then i will be able to upgrade
anybody prepaid and was able to upgrade using another method?
my "maximum bandwith" dropped today from 5000 to 2000 kbps and bandwith dropped from 2200 to 1900 kbps. Speed is 120kb/s using internet download manager.

What is happenning??
Oii.

IDM user here. 2MBPS Unlimited bandwidth according to the new package.

Internet seems to fluctuate during the day regardless of FUP.


2:00 am ----> 8:00 am : 180 kb/s download speed

8:00 am -----> 3:00 - 4:00 pm : 50 kb/s

4:00 pm ----> 11:00 pm : 10 - 20 kb/s

11:00 pm ---> 2:00 am : 50 kb/s


This is a rough estimate. And it doesn't seem to change according to bandwidth downloaded by day. Been testing it for four days. First two days with heavy downloading, second two days with practically no consumption.


Cheers
KFC, they may be "upgrading" your CO.. I have a very unstable connection since the first of July and the stats are changing.

my speed is always very low like 30 kb/s when i dont use internet download manager. with internet download manager it is much much better but sometimes it fluctuates alot between 100 and 220kb/s. yesterday i downloaded at 6pm 2.5 GB at a constant speed of 200-220 kb/s using internet download manager.
I called the lousy company and after an hour of holding and trying to reach someone they tell me I m FUP d for the whole month with no way of changing my plan till the end of the month . I ve been wanting to leave IDM for a while now because of the stupid support and unreliability . Now they made my decision clearer

Are you on an unlimited plan?

yes 2mb unlimited which turned out to be a downgrade from the 2mb 20 Gb with their stupid policy

i am on 2mbps/40gb and DL speed hasnt exceeded 1 mbps in last 2 days even in the morning...
I just got off the phone with them because my speed is 1M too. They told me that at first they gave everyone the 2M eventhough ogero didn't complete its upgrade, but after 2 days (I think on thursday) they were forced to cancel this decision. That's why our speeds are back 1M.
