The price will remain unchanged for as long as you have the account.

will this price be forever? when does the promotion end? or rather will i pay this forever or will it be applicable for a limited time - eg 6 months, etc.

MrBeep, please assist me with my issue [#KSI-839-69883] Torrents are barely alive during the day time. I emailed support and they are extremely unhelpful right now, just saying that the account is shaped. She also told me because I have XYZ usage I am getting great value for my money. You told us you don't track our usage?

Of course the usage is tracked, it's just not important. What account are you on by the way? Unless you are on Gold or higher then I don't really see the issue. The accounts are shaped and if the network is busy then the slower torrents will be, it's just the nature of the beast.

I am on Gold and MrBEEP himself said it's not supposed to be just above completely dead.

Hi Soulcode,

It must not be dead no. But shaping will be applied, as the network is busy currently.

You are on a Gold account that offers usage tracking.

I had the same problem, it seems that getting a port reset solved the problem, at least for now. speed on shaped protocols has gone up from ~40kb/s to ~400.

I'm on a Gold account and my speeds have been awesome. When it starts slowing down a 10 minute router reset usually fixes it. So far i've had 75-100% line speed almost 24/7.

so whats the reasonable expectation during shaped periods? 50% of line speed?
I got 300kbps + at 1pm today over nntp to IS news server. Torrents are only around 30-40kbps but that doesn't bother me. So you can get some really good speeds during the day

Hi FreddyB,

There is currently a known issue with this route. Engineers are attending.
