Re: Upload Bandwidth & Caps

The connection is a 10mb upload. I presume limits are usually associated to d/l.


Many Thanks

No, there are usage caps on uploads. Presuming you are on Vivid 150 (has 10Mbps upload) then the cap is 1700MB over the previous hour and upload speed will be reduced by 50% for 1 hour.

Hit 2250MB in the previous 120mins and your upload speed will be reduced by 65% for 2 hrs.

The above operates from 4pm - 11pm weekdays.

Weekends the same caps apply 11am - 11pm.
