Guest wmmc Posted May 31, 2005 CID Share Posted May 31, 2005 Welcome to the forum. Yes, there is a way, its by getting getright or similar download manger and limit the speed(6 KB/sec), go read a long book or do something while you wait. FAP limit for: Consumer Edition = 169 MB ($59.99 a month) Professional Edition = 350 MB ($89.99 a month) Business Edition = 500 and 800 MB ($99 a month for 500 MB, even more for 800 MB) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aerodude Posted June 1, 2005 CID Share Posted June 1, 2005 If you didn't buy the modem & dish upfront, the difference is the equipment buy down over your 15 month contract. ohh ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaker397 Posted June 1, 2005 CID Share Posted June 1, 2005 DWay is terrible but it is broadband with latency. But When I purchased my family's Dway system it was 110 a month but only for a 12 month contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrism101 Posted June 1, 2005 CID Share Posted June 1, 2005 I dont think Ive been Fapped Yet according to the mydirecway records, But I'm not DL'ing anything but music, pics, short vids, and stuff. If you are knowingly going to download files larger than that Id say pay extra. But if not dont worry about it. If you know you are gonna get FAP'd DL it over night, then shut it off for a few hours and let the FAP expire. I think itll reset after 8 hours. So the Only time i thought I might have been FAP'd I shut it down about 3 am and By the next morning I woke up around 11 and it was running back at full speed.

Spaz Posted June 3, 2005 CID Share Posted June 3, 2005 I looked at the FAP contract a while ago and it seemed it was continous downloads which was what they were really against, so I built a little AutoIT program to start and stop my download evey 10 minutes or so. It worked ok; I did get FAPed once but I was able to dl Mandrake (2075megs) in about 5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire22driver Posted June 6, 2005 Author CID Share Posted June 6, 2005 It seems that I slow down mostly at night, maybe this is not a FAP probleml. Most of my downloads are music, pics and some small vids. My latest test results follow, and this is common for me around this time of day. :::..

Guest wmmc Posted June 6, 2005 CID Share Posted June 6, 2005 My post above about FAP levels and price is base level(advertised as). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz Posted June 7, 2005 CID Share Posted June 7, 2005 According to the usage chart, I once went over for 18 hours straight. [/random comment] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted June 14, 2005 CID Share Posted June 14, 2005 I heard you can do a "power cycle" and erase the prreviously instituted FAP but it only works with a 4000. I have a 4000 and tried that but it didn't work. Is there More to it than a power (like wait 15 min. or something) cycle and does it really work? If it does work, what is the exact procedure... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz Posted June 14, 2005 CID Share Posted June 14, 2005 I konw if you do a power cycle for a minute or so while FAPed you get unFAPed, but only for 5-10 seconds, then it goes back down to normal (on my DW600 at least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterSix Posted June 22, 2005 CID Share Posted June 22, 2005 If I shut down for a few hours in the morning after a night of D/L movies, I can get back up to 150Kb for a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
