Low speed all of a sudden

donfarrell

Hi,
So heres the story, woke up this morning and everything was grand. Started downloading something and went to the shop. Came back and it had barely moved so then i was like screw it doesnt matter. Then I went to started general browsing and it was **** slow. Went on the family computer to make sure it was just my laptop, it was not.

I am with smart telecom and have never had a problem with them at all so I am stumped. I even switched back to my old router to make sure it wasnt a new one i bought a few weeks ago and even scanned for virus' and nothing

The only changes I made to my network in the last month was:
1. Got new router
2. New router had a spaz attack and had to imput all my info again onto it (isp username and pass)
3. Changed the dns off my wii and ps3 to get american netflix

That is all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Nevermind rang up and they said I went over my cap :O
First time ever, thanks to netflix :L

He said i have a 160gb cap for every rolling month, does anyone know what that means?

Thanks

I presume a rolling month means the last 30 days. Which would mean once you reach the cap then each subsequent day the maximum you can download is the amount you downloaded thirty days previously.

Put another way the maximum amount you can download in any one day is 160GB less the total amount downloaded in the previous 29 days.

You can pay a few euro extra for a "cap reset". Ring them up, if the slow speed is getting too much to bear.

You can also pay extra for a large cap too (or at least you could do on their LLU service a couple of years back)
