Hello, Once you have reached your download quota both your download and upload speeds are shaped to 64Kbps. Uploads are not counted towards your quota limit. Regards, - Matthew Murray |

What I would recommended for anyone being shaped. Turn off all your automated updating programs. It helps you max your 64Kbps. Some programs that automatically update may include your anti virus, windows, and may other programs. Btw is it me or Amnet webpage takes forever to load once your shaped? |

Drop your MTU to 560. Seriously. It'll help with the packet loss. |

The reason why shaping speeds haven't increased yet, is that you can still do some major quota damage on anything higher. There's also no real pressure to do so, as I'd bet the majority of people don't actually get shaped at all. |

Damn it. Saturday off peak will mean that my VOIP will not work cos I am shaped on the 'offpeak' allowance. I still have 1gb on the 'peak' allowance... Should have known it earlier! I think Saturdays should be peak+ off peak, with off peak allowance being preferentially being used first... |

Do you want the system to break? Because if they implement something that complex, that's what'd happen. |
