This is one major problem in Australia,
Isp's in this country and no doubt many countries is that the Internet plan you select may not be what you think it is.
Most if not all Isp's in Aus have what they like to call Peak times, these times depend on your Isp and are not the same for everyone.
I'm on a 50gb a month plan with a well known ISP in Aus and we get these so called Peak times.
How They Work:
You have 2 Peak times, Onpeak and Offpeak.
This means that your internet usage is split into two parts.
Mine is Offpeak 1am-7am and Onpeak 7am-1am
So my 50gb plan is split into two 25gb parts, 25gb onpeak and 25gb offpeak.
This means after 25gb is used in either Peak time my connection is capped at a snails pace 64kbs, this means it's almost impossible to get the full 50gb out of my plan unless i download everything mb for mb on and offpeak which is impossible.
This should be considered false advertising but somehow it isn't and is perfectly legal.
What happened to the plans where you actually get what you paid for ?
