protocon Posted October 26, 2005 CID Share Posted October 26, 2005 the capping they do to your speeds, is it like a monthly thing? if you go over a month, they cap it for a month? or etc...(forever,2 weeks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netmasta Posted October 28, 2005 CID Share Posted October 28, 2005 Welcome to the site, protocon. Are you talking about capping how much you can download in a month (ex:500GB/mo) or speed caps (EX: max connect speed 4Mb or whatever)?

mets2131 Posted October 28, 2005 CID Share Posted October 28, 2005 When Optimum Online caps your speeds it is for an indefinite amount of time most likely forever. This means you have to call them up to see if your being capped and then they read you something and you have to agree to it and then they uncap your modem. You are only allowed this 4 times or else they will suspend or terminate your service. I have 2 strikes against me as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protocon Posted October 28, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 28, 2005 and for netmasta, i would like both. on another note: is there any way around this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets2131 Posted October 28, 2005 CID Share Posted October 28, 2005 the only way to not get capped on your speeds is to not upload a lot for a continous time period. you can download for as long as u want its the upload they check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaker397 Posted October 29, 2005 CID Share Posted October 29, 2005 if you get capped you gotta call em and they will read this thing to you then uncap you or something like that. 4 caps and your service is done i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshiro Posted December 3, 2005 CID Share Posted December 3, 2005 Can optonline cap/throttle your download speed as well? I mean I've gotten my upload capped before, so I was wondering if they can do the same to your download speed too. My downloads have been painfully slow this morning, but maybe it's because of heavy internet traffic. Can someone confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
