Ok first off welcome to the forum Very Happy Hope you like it and tell your friends. Second off I dont think anyone will tell you this and if they did you would just get busted. I dont think they would cap you because you dl to much, but you are capped from the word go. I know some isps will but I dont know about DW.

 This is a waiting thing most likely.

You have to just wait out the time, until you're connection is Un Capped.

My ISP had my connection cap limit set at 10 GB of file downloading per month before, and if I were to download more than that, my connection would slow down to a dial up speed at times.

Although, I now pay the company an extra five dollars a month which gives me un limited downloading. So, I have no cap limit.....And could download every song in the world!  :haha: Without a connection slow down with internet speed!

So, maybe that's something to look into?  Very Happy

 My ISP is Persona, www.personainc.net (Not sure if they're available outside of Canada?)

And yea, 20 GB will down your connection if you have a cap  :haha:

Mine was down to about 50 Kbps, until I started slipping them that extra five dollars.  ;)

Not a bad deal really, seeing as I download about 5 GB daily, so five dollars for un limited downloading, is alot better than the 10 GB limit they had me set at!  Very Happy

Hi, I'm new here. This thread is confusing me a bit.  I can't tell whether it is being said that DirecWay definitely does or does not cap thier customers. And if it is the same for all their customers (besides the ones who are slipping them extra).  I was told by DirecWay that I am capped at 169mb per hour. So how does this fit or compare to what you all are saying on this subject?

I believe I read somewhere that there IS a way to uncap yourself (if using the DW4000)  Something about unhooking the cables on the back of the receiver and/or transmitter for like 15min?  I dunno...I read it somewhere tho, might've been here!!

 I'm not sure entirely what ISP he is using (Not sure if it was mentioned) by alot of ISP Companys have a cap limit set on their users, so they can only download a certain amount of information a month. I've never heard about their being an hourly limit  Shocked

But to end the confusion!  Very Happy this thread is basically saying that he's obviously gone over his download limit, and now his cap has kicked in and doesn't allow for him to reach his max connection speed.

 Never heard of anything like that before! That's most likely impossible to do with most ISP's, seeing as it would be an easy way to download as much as you want and never have to worry. Seeing as most ISP's charge more money, to upgrade to a higher package to allow more downloading, I'm pretty sure they would correct this if you were able to do that.  Razz

If this was the case, I'd just get the cheapest internet package from my company....And do that everytime I reach my limit.  :haha:

Yeah, if using the DW4000 system you can unplug your powercable to powercycle the modem, and plug it back in and your uncapped..

I'm thinking the cap on DirecWay service for the home user is 169MB per four hour block then once your capped the replenish rate is 50Kbps if you increase your account to a business or cooperate account the bucket gets bigger and the replenish rate is higher. There is programs you can download to monitor your usage level or you can use the one Dway has, however its usually hours behind. I read the same post Brown mentioned if you using a DW4000.The link will show you the policy and different bucket levels.
