zol shapes heavy users downawards during business hours. the speeds you desire are NOLONGER achievabe on the 1mbps package. seems they have managed to implement their speed limits to the various packages. for speeds as much as 250kBps, you'd need to be on the 3mbps connection and yes you will get these speeds off peak, or on peak for a long as it is for verry small downloads. the business package is not shaped, ie to say yo can get 100kBps throughout the day for the 1mbps. thats the only advantage of business packages. you arent shaped and thus can download whatever, whenever.
