Hi

I just want to know from anybody who subscribes to Nightrider exactly how it works. Assuming a 3GB cap * 5 does it mean that you then have then 18 GB for the month 3 and then 15 which is used overnight or is it 15 GB in total which is split as 3 and 12.
 
For any data you use between 1am and 7am, is divided by 5 and minused from your 3 Gig cap. Eg: If you use 500 megs during night rider they'll minus 100 megs from your Cap.

There is no way you can get more than 15GB if you only have 3GB of real bandwidth.

Anything between 1am and 8am only counts 1/5th as much to your bandwidth usage.

So you could download 10GB in nightrider and 1GB in normal time for a total cap usage of 3GB (10/5 + 1).
 
Thanks guys - its still a worthwhile service though.

Very much so, its going to get A LOT better when the new caps come into place as well. I don't see me needing to buy any top ups after that.
 
Night rider is awesome, I've used 7.4gigs of my cap but downloaded 37gigs in Night rider time slot...
 
I only use my cybersmart account during nightrider time and so I get all 15 gigs a month, also all topups can be used during nightrider, so if you want you can get 20 or more
