Vodacom announced last year that it is giving away free “GBs” for night owls.
Now as all of you know it is quite easy to schedule downloads with torrent clients, download managers etc in the evening, but for applications like iTunes it gets quite tricky to stop and start downloads at certain times of the day.
So with Vodacom they offer you a whole 1 GB free from 00h00-05h00 if you buy their Broadband Advanced product.
So what do we do when we schedule a bunch of iTunes downloads in the evening and want it to use this extra free bandwith.
Well, I was introduced to Broadband Scheduler by Stephen Groenewald as an alternative to having schedulers built into the application. This application actually switches off your broadband on OS level, thus effectively keeping you in control of when downloads must occur and it might just save you a couple of bucks.
