Heavy Downloading during off peak hours?

Hi there,
I have been doing a lot of reading around the various limits 100GB and 300GB and how they have now been removed by BT, but that everything is now unlimited subject to FUP.
However, I can't seem to find the answer to my question.
I would appreciate anyone who is currently in the same position to give me some info.
If I am a heavy user/downloader, who only mainly use Infinity to download during off-peak hours (usually overnight) will I get throttled during those times (overnight - say for example midnight to 8am)?
This will be either P2P/Torrents or Usenet (or both), could be maybe 1TB a month or maybe more.
I am not concerned about normal daytime usage which will probably just be for browsing/emails, not overly heavy usage I don't think.
Thanks.

Wow!!! 1TB a month , do you get much sleep
Usenet is not throttled but P2P is throttled during peak hours. As you are talking after midnight, the throttling should not effect you, but there have been posts saying that the throttling has gone on longer.

Can I switch back to Free during off-peak hours and switch to Basic once traffic is up?

Hello,
I have a website hosted on Azure. But there are times that it has no traffic during off-peak hours. However, since it has a lot of images in it, during peak hours I can consume the 165MB/Day limit of the free tier in just a few hundred requests. Can I switch
from Free to Basic during peak hours with unlimited data and back to Free during off peak to save costs? Are we allowed to switch between different pricing tiers as much as we want?
Thanks

hi sir,
Yes, you can switch your website mode by you wanted. However when you switch mode, your website will be temporary shift. I guess it may affect your website performance and runtime. And currently, you only can switch mode manually. If your subscription
is free trial, you may need convert it to Pay-As-You-Go.

Is there a way to schedule downloads for off-peak hours? (Hughesnet user)

Our ISP allows a limited download capacity of 15GB per month, but allows another 15GB between the hours of 2AM-8AM. I would like to be able to download the programs during this time. If it were at home, I would wake up and start the downloads, but being at my office at work this is not possible. I have a download manager which can schedule other downloads for my computer, but downloading through the Creative Cloud Installer app eliminates this possibility. Are direct download links available? Or another solution?

Slow internet connection during the peak hours

Hello my I just got my Fios internet today and after 8:00 PM the internet is very slow.
I did a speed test on multiple servers and the download speed was 6 mbps and it was choking a lot.
I did the same speed test 6 hours ago and I got 75 mbps. Now even the verizon webpage gets stuck loading. I will continue to monitor my internet speed till the end of this month. If this problem is not resolved then I will switch to optimum which I already have and did not cancel yet. With Optimum I get 50mbps download and 15mbps upload and thats speed is constant and never goes down during the peak hours when everyone uses the internet. Please do what ever you need to do such as install more load balancers or upgrade your lines. For my line of business I need my internet to be cast and reliable.

What you're experiencing is exactly the opposite of what happened here. When I had Optimum Online speeds would fluctuate substantianally at busy times of the day. Since getting FiOS I've never seen that fluctation. Speeds are the same day in and day out.
Having said that, I can't tell you what's causing your problem. I suggest you try calling Verizon tech support during the evening when speeds are slow and see if they can shed some light on the cause of the problem.
Or maybe take some screen grabs of speed tests when speeds are good and when they're bad, and then Live Chat with support, sending them those screen grabs.
Good luck.

Identifying off-peak hour in apps environment

Hi,
I would like to identify the off-peak hour in system.
How can I do it?
Can this be done by obtaining the load on the system at certain point of time?
If so, how can I get the load details at a point of time?
Not sure if this is the right forum category to raise the question, if not please do point me to the right one.
Thanks.

Off-peak downloading

Here's an obvious thing that there ought to be with AppleTV. Because it's obvious, I'm sure it's there and I missed it. If it isn't, it should be.
Because America has terrible broadband (slow, expensive), we're hitting slow service at peak usage times — even though we're spending tons to get the fastest service our provider has.
That wouldn't be a problem if AppleTV had a "download during off-peak" option. The system should be smart enough to know which program's we're actively watching, and queue the next couple episodes as we watch them. The download of those episodes could happen in the middle of the night. But then when we want to watch, we wouldn't be sitting around waiting for the buffer to fill.
I realize I could be doing something similar to this through a computer located near my AppleTV, etc. But this should be something ATV does directly (or with an additional HD attached).
Does it, and did I miss it?

AppleTv 1 worked better in this regard as you could download multiple items to view later
The difference was the built-in hard drive which was scrapped for AppleTV 2 and 3, as Apple assume everyone has fast 24/7/365 broadband which most people don't

Set a time for downloads so can use off peak packages

ISP has download limits for peak and off peak times. I would like to be able to setup downloads for off peak period without having to waitup until 1.00am

Look for a download manager that is compatible with Firefox for a feature like that.

Download drop off.

Hihi,
Long time lurker, first time post:-)
I've not seen my problem posted before, so I would be grateful for any help.
For the last 2 weeks when trying to download large files from Apple and Microsoft (or wherever) I can download between 20 to 90 percent and then the speed will drop to a near standstill. iTunes is kind of similar in that when I purchase an album, 8 of the songs will whizz through but 3 or 4 songs will take 10 minutes each to download.
Generally for web downloads I might have to retry the download 2 or 3 times and it will come through eventually . This happens during peak and off peak hours. However during peak hours its worse and the overall speed is up and down like a yo-yo and much slower in general. During off peak the speed is at a constant max until it drops off. If I leave the download going (after speed drop) and start another download of the same file it will come through at top speed (unless peak hours were the speed still fluctuates).
As an example file, this update from the Apple website http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1484 gave me trouble. Even though I have the file I just checked it right now and sure enough after around 200mb the speed dropped to 50 kb/s. And this is at 5am in morning.
I have done the speed tester at regular intervals as suggested in other posts and all is as expected. Great download (37Mbps) and upload speed (8 Mbps) and a 38.72Mbps profile.
I use an Apple Airport Extreme but I have subbed in the HomeHub 3 for a few days to rule out Airport issues and the problem persists. Problem still remains when wired. I have restarted the OR modem. I have also used different computers and made sure only one was connected.
I will be contacting the mods as well as requested (see StephanieG's post, link below) since my son has Starcraft 2 lag issues between 17.00 and 00.00 which I think might be related to the World of Warcraft issue.
http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-Speed-Connection-Issues/Once-again-gaming-port-issues-with-World-of-Wa...
Could the issues be related?
Cheers, Shaun.

Hello lootcod. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Actually, any non-802.11n device on your 802.11n network will be the "weak" link. That includes both the 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), AirPort Express Base Station (AX), or any other client with 802.11b/g.
In addition, remember each base station added to a WDS, effectively reduces the overall throughput in half...so with a total of three stations (main, relay, & remote), your network throughput would be only 1/4 of the original...at ALL of the stations. As an example, if all of the base stations were 802.11n, the throughput would be around 37.5 Mbps; for 802.11g, 13.5 Mbps.

Parallel not working in peak hours

Dear Exprerts,
I put the parallel on select statement to spool the file.
select /*+ parallel(a,16) full(a) */ * from temp a;In non peak hours it took 1 hours to complete but in peak hours it took 6 hours to compete.
In peak hours also query was running in 16 session.
What can be the reason?
Regards
Rahul Malik

Any number of reasons - contention for CPU, slower IO....
What's the point in guessing?
Trace it.
If you're on a recent version of Oracle and licensed for Diagnostic+Tuning pack, look at the active session history data or use real time sql monitoring.
But is there a conceptual issue here?
Parallel query is a great feature for using more of the available resources to do the work. So if your database is normally idle then great - you can use some of those otherwise idle resources to divide and conquer. If during these "peak hours" there are more sessions, more concurrent queries and/or just more contention for these resources, parallel isn't going to be as effective, in fact it can just make things worse.

DSL is being slow during peak hours

I've upgraded my plan to the 7.1mb and during peak hours I've been experiencing slow dsl speeds from around 7pm-12am. My speeds fluctuates between 2-3mb download speed, while the upload speed is unaffected. During morning, and afternoon my speed is solid at 6.5mb download. I never had this issue when I was on my old 3mb plan.
I have called verizon tech support, but that was pointless and waste of time. Wasted one hour on the phone, with the lvl 1 tech who was trying to put the blame on my computer. Anyways here is my stats, and speed test. I have 7500 modem.
This is 100%, congestion on the server during peak, can someone please help resolve this issue so they move me to non congested server. Thank you.

As we were instructed I attempted to download the new Adobe Cloud to replace Adobe CS6 as it is about to expire. It had been downloading for about an hour when I lost power due to a storm. It was only off 20 minutes. When it came back up it had stopped because my internet of course was also off. Now I have tried to do it again and it tells me “that number has already been approved and uploaded” However, it has not because I do not have the cloud programs yet. I still have my CS6 but I am not sure what to do from here. Can you assist with this please?

After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move. Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way. Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

Slow speed during peak hours for over a year

For over a year now my connection speed has slowed during peak hours, at first it would start around 6pm and drop to 5meg or so untill midnight at which point it would go back up to 8meg all night and morning.
As the year has gone on it has gotten worse and worse to the point now where it starts around 2pm and plummits to 1.5-2meg and remains at that till midnight at which point it goes back to 8meg.
I have been trying to get help with this from @BTCare on twitter for serveral months now and have gotten absolutely no where, every time i get the same old "are you on wireless or wired", "try a different router/microfilter", "try another PC", "run a diagnostic test on our speed tester" etc etc and at the end of it they go silent and then when i try and get some kind of update we are back to square one of being told to fill out my details on the website to open a NEW ticket even though i currently have 5 or 6 open tickets for the same **bleep** issue.
So i've come to try my luck here before i throw in the towel and just get rid of the **bleep** line alltogether as it is currently a waste of money.

Extremely poor performance to various websites during peak hours - peering issue?

Since approximately 26 Jan 2015, we have been experiencing extremely poor performance to several specific websites during peak hours, 9pm-11pm. Page loads take many minutes (or never complete), etc. Many other sites are perfectly fine, and if I connect to the same sites at the same time through my work VPN, they perform extremly well (under 1sec). There is no correlation between OS or browser and the poor performance (tested on Windows, OSX, Linux) and speedtest typically reports over 80/80.
I've not caught any packet loss using periodic pings. Traceroutes indicate a bunch of different routes being used (I assume this is expected for CDNs), but here's one example of an obviously bad single traceroute:
$ traceroute images.dailykos.com

The sites in question use the Fastly CDN - my theory is that the VZ-Fastly connection is under provisioned or is broken, but I'm out of my depth at this point.

"This is a nationwide peering/routing issue that was intentionally created by Verizon to create congestion and (1) extract priority fees from the likes of Netflix and (2) get customers to subscribe to higher speed tiers. This has been acknowledged by the FCC. Verizon is building new interconnections to remedy the problem, but it will persist for at least another 6 months."

Exchange E-Mail not Respecting "Off-Peak" Settings on Phone Start-Up

I've got my work exchange e-mail set-up on my phone to have a quiet time before 8am, after 6pm and al;l day at the weekend when sync is set to "Manual".
This works fine 99% of the time -except if my phone has been switched off. When the phone is switched back on, it ALWAYS seems to do a mail sync on this account, regardless of whether it is a "Peak" or "Off-peak" time.
This is using the Sony-installed "Email" app v 6.1 on a Z2 with 17.1.2.A.0.314 firmware.
Anyone else seeing this? Any fixes?
Thanks.

Confused as to which setting should be on "Push" ???
I want e-mail checked every hour, between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday.
I want e-mail not checked at all (except manually) all day at the weekend, and before 8am and after 6pm during the week.
My current settings are in the attached screen shot. What should they be to get the schedule listed above to work?
Thanks!
