Bandwidth scheduling

[Volpone]

My current ISP has a bandwidth cap system where your bandwidth is throttled after you exceed the cap. The system punishes most heavily for usage during peak hours.

I have a D-Link WBR-2310; it does not appear possible for me to schedule it so that bandwidth will be intentionally throttled during peak hours across the whole network, so as to prevent excessive usage during the most penalized times.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I don't think there is anything you can do besides switch providers to be honest. That seems to be the most common solution for others I have seen post this.

You may also want to post at www.dslreports.com if you have not already, if anyone can help it will be someone there.

If it's comcast, I believe that's a 250 GB limit. For the normal user, it's hard to blow through that. For the power/alternative user, that's a drop in the bucket.

Unless it's satellite or some no name provider. Satellite is like 6-8 GB a month, some no names are as low as 50.

I think I remember something about Time-Warner going to a 120 GB limit, but not 100% on that.

Obvious way is to just not use torrents and the likes during the peak hours. I'm sure you could set a rule to only open those ports between certain hours.

Actually I'm positive of it.

It seems like they have a hard 70GB/mo DL limit looking at some complaints on DSL Reports. Seems like for a few bucks a month you can go Sasktel and get 10mb connection that is not capped.

I run my uploads and downloads when I go to bed and just let them run all night and turn them off when I get up. Mainly so my connection does not lag during the middle of the day when playing ps3 or streaming radio off the net.

Yes, I am with Access. I'm trying to convince the other members of the house that we need to switch to SaskTel asap, but they're afraid of giving up their email addresses. Seriously.

In my last apartment, I had SaskTel and I did ~4 TB in ~8 months. It was wonderful.

LOL, I'm going to miss the speed I had at the last camp I was at. I had Utorrent going at 1GB/sec. I come home and granted I'm only on whatever comes with Sasktel Max and I'm lucky if it's around 100kB/s :(
