Which is when the unlimited overnight starts, unthrottled. The same clock.
My little download speed graph on my menu bar went from a line to a block at midnight.
(Note, Speedtest results are the same 24 hours per day, download speed as reported by BBC iPlayer shoots up at midnight, throttled by PN, 6pm to midnight, on my package)

How it should work is that Plusnet get usage reports at intervals (I think every 30 minutes) and any usage where there is doubt as to whether it is paid or free is discarded (or perhaps reported as free). The idea being that the customer isn't incorrectly charged for usage just inside the free period

On the subject of overnight usage there has been a issue for a while that if you download a decent amount overnight this isn't recorded. Almost as if the usage rolls back to zero after a certain amount.

No it doesn't affecting my billing as overnight is free. I have pondered at times if the issue issue exists during on peak times but have never fancied risking a decent amount of my usage allowance testing!
I'm sure I have see the same issue mentioned by other people on this forum in the past. I just mentioned it as does mean the recorded usage is incorrect, albeit from a practical point of view it doesn't matter.

Quote from: PlusComUK Midnight exactly, as just demonstrated by my downloading BBC iPlayer at low speed, 11:45pm, which shot up to 17mb/s at midnight, as it does every night.
Which is when the unlimited overnight starts, unthrottled. The same clock.
My little download speed graph on my menu bar went from a line to a block at midnight.
Quote from: Oldjim Despite what was said above - overnight usage is nothing to do with the speed throttling.
Please note what I said about the clock Jim.
The BBC iPlayer speed is an indication of the PN clock, and it shifted up 5 gears dead on midnight.

I have never quite worked out exactly much you need to download before the usage goes wrong but it is a decent amount, say over 20GB but I'm not sure how much over.
