So how can I judge if i can download something or not, thats one strike against the current shaping. I hate this feeling that I cant use the connection i`m paying for when it suits me.
Another thing that REALLY annoys me that the caps are not removed after 9pm. It really reduces the value of "traffic management" if you know that your speed is just going to be remaining slow after the management period ends, Why wait when your speed is still going to be the same later. If im downloading a couple of large files, rather then wait till after 9 I just start em and let them run for the duration. Im downloading the same volume of data, it just takes me longer and the cap does not affect when i am downloading, Thats two strikes.
I have to wake up as 6am for work and dont leave my computer on overnight. I usually go to bed at 10 or so depending how I feel so i am getting an entire hour of the 10 meg I pay for if i have not been capped already. What terrible value for money, thats three strikes from me.
Traffic shaping sucks.
