@cyberwiz, first of all i would recommend that u follow what they've "fine printed" coz if u don't follow what they've mentioned, then if something goes wrong later on, u're at fault, not them...i said i never got an inflated bill, but i won't vouch on the fact that it really doesn't matter when u start ur modem and shut it down...i've got a proper bill, but i still do make sure that i restart it once at (after) 12 am and once at (before) 8 am...so if u don't wanna follow that, that would be solely ur decision and the outcome ur responsiblity
🙂i do remote rebooting though...sitting at my office, resart the modem at home
😀...but i think u're issue is sleep here, so don't really know how to takcle that problem...
🙄 as far as scheduling downloads are concerned, u can use any of the scheduler programs...there are many!!!...just schedule the program to run at a given time and u won't have to worry about the rest...try this to use the
windows default scheduler program... go to start\programs\accessories\system tools\schedule tasks and with this you can schedule to run any script, program, or document to be invoked at any time or any interval, every day to once a year, and on events like system boot, user logon, or system idle...pm me if u need more help to schedule programs...
🙂@boygr8, the speeds are pretty much constant...like yesterday i downloaded wingate at a speed varying between 29.2 kBps - 29.3 kBps...
😀the speed basically depends on from where u're downloading...as per my personal experience, i've found that u tend to get a kB or two less in P2P programs because of the no. of sources...so i'm happy if i get 25 kBps constant in P2P...
