Feedback for IDM

I just noticed recently that IDM introduced the Fair Usage Policy to its internet. Can I please know if anyone is encountering any speed reduction after the...

You're right, and I didn't mean to blame the company alone, for I also found their service before this internet plan change better than satisfactory. Something like this happening is obviously from the lack of professional standards somewhere up top, and it probably isn't IDM's fault. By the way, even with the reduced prices our internet is still more expensive than almost all developed and most developing countries.

Anyway, what are E1s?

E1s is somewhat the Bandwidth. Those are the lines that provide ISPs with required Bandwidth. Something along those lines. Anyway all them E1s have been held prisoner by OGERO for the longest time. Only now are they starting to release a few to the ISPs. Still not enough.

And yes we shall forever remain among the most expensive countries in the known human world x)

Ah, so an E1 is something like a line that holds a capacity of around 20000Mb/s or more and is divided between customers of the ISP. I've heard of that before, I didn't know it was called an E1 though.

We'll the more you know eh? So yeah we will be stuck for a long time with the so called unfair FUP. They got no choice else we, users might cause the little they got to crumble.

They don't have to add more subscribers if they don't have enough E1s. DSL in Lebanon is shared, that's true, however, speed shouldn't drop below 50 % of the advertised maximum. That would indicate serious congestion.. meaning you aren't getting what you are paying for!

Question, when did we get what paid for In this God forsaken Hell Hole?

That said, will post here in coming days since tonight midnight I will be going to 2mbps 45gb. I will be using it and abusing as if it were unlimited. Got 9 days to spend all 45gb. That's 5gb a day. Not to forget FNQ.

I am doing that to make sure there is no FUP on limited plans.

Keep an eye out...

andrew55

Well most Ogero subscribers get the full although you have a good point. I've used more than 50 GB up till now (28 day and 22 at night-free)... no FUP till now.. but the speed isn't consistent throughout the day..

It's ok if it's not consistent as long as it doesn't go below 1.5mbps for my 2mbps package. Else there will be Hell to pay for

andrew55 wrotelimited 50 GB (4 M)

Damn that's a weird seed test... If no FUP

andrew55

yea..very weird..

TechXero

andrew55 wroteyea..very weird..

On IDM you get 200-550? Did you try setting it to 4 threads? Options - Connection. Try n see if it gets better.

andrew55

32 threads.. why should 4 make it better?

TechXero

andrew55 wrote32 threads.. why should 4 make it better?

Coz IDM the ISP does not support more than 8. If you use more or will become unstable

andrew55

when i download all 32 threads are used (most of the time). How would you explain that?

wollyka

In speedtest, I sometimes get below 3mbps (4mbps plan). however, on torrents, speed is stable around 420 KB/s

andrew55 wrotewhen i download all 32 threads are used (most of the time). How would you explain that?

I said unstable not that it won't work. It will work but as you have mentioned speed not stable, it's due to the fact that IDM the ISP does not support that much. Even IDM the app must have warned you about that when you set it to 32 threads

andrew55

You're right I'll put it back and see what happens. I've exprienced the fastest download speeds with more than 8 though.
