Whats the best time to download to avoid being capped ?

Just got my 20mb flashed modem the other day and after i download big files during the day i get capped to 5mb for several hours..

So what time do you reccomend, after 9pm or later ?

after 9pm you wont get capped at all, or download early in morning before 9am and you wont get capped.

and between 3pm and 4pm download you wont get capped.


hope this helps

You get capped just like the rest of us with a subbed modem. Its a clone of the original modem, that gets capped during "peak" times.
