benny the cunt, I can't be arsed going to check, but do you 'lose' your remaining off-peak data allowance once you have used up your peak data allowance (and vice versa)?


The provider I work for had that system ages ago and no longer use it.
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

Yes you do. But they shape if you use your Upload before your Download now.

Just need to be aware of what you've used.

With all the talk about peak/off peak, I checked TPG to see how it effected me, I recalled when I was with Bigpuddle uploaads were included in data counts.

Fortunatly TPG dont.

From TPG
Upload traffic is not counted.


1 Consists of peak (9am - 4am) and off peak (4am - 9am customer’s local time) download quota. Speed will be shaped for the period in which the download quota has been exceeded (peak and/or off peak).
42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

OK, i have a question that needs an experts opinion/answer.

Available info: I live 10kms from nearest town.
My Dial-up speed = 31.2kpbs (MAX!)
My wireless optus broadband speed = 56.1kpbs (@ home and even Renmark/Berri town centres) and it gets about 400mpbs when in Adelaide at absolute max.

How the hell can i get even "slow" speeds around 128kpbs - 256kpbs , which even though Ethiopia has faster speeds, that will still save me 3/4 of the time it takes me to do everything now.

eg. Download a 3-4MB song takes about 7-8 minutes.

Download a 450kb PDF document takes about 90 seconds.

Download a "Flash player" 3 minute clip from you-tube ect takes about 10 minutes.

Download Pirates 2: Stagnettis Revenge (Jesse Jane flick - you know!)
a 1.5 GB movie takes about a week with the phone connected 24 hours a day! LOL

Can someone help?!!!
