Looks like it's resolved? Blops is working now...
EDIT:
Spoke to soon, dead again. I'll call it a night, switched back to WebAfrica till tomorrow.
So there is no purpose in me limiting my downloads to that time until I'm "capped"?
That seems a bit dumb. Please can you implement that.
How much extra do you want to pay for your account then?
I dont. It is easy for me to tell my Pi only to fetch things at those times, but if the data still counts towards my shaping cap then what is the point before I'm shaped?

Making the product sustainable and continue is the point...
Which is exactly why I should be incentivised to move my download schedule to periods of low strain on their servers. Isn't that the whole reason they unshape the shaped accounts at those times?

I agree with Agentfrf, it makes no sense scheduling downloading from 12am-7am if it's still going to count towards your 100GB's, even streaming counts towards it, really doesn't matter what you do cause those 100GB's will be used in a matter of a week if you have a 8Mbps line...
Seriously?
Your incentive to do so is to make the ISP sustainable. No other ISP gives you Unshaped data as part of an uncapped offering.
So it's a capped unshaped product then?
But wouldn't it be better to encourage scheduling downloads at off peak times?
