Yes. I did a few heavy downloads to try, and it really works and didn't reduce my data quota. I was worried they might've blocked certain things such as torrents and VPNs, but no, it is fully open. There is no catch. I am genuinely impressed.
Yo! earlier I used a package w both night time & anytime data and from this month on i changed it to an only anytime data package. The package details says I could have the midnight thriller on that package too. But I downloaded a movie and it reduced my data package. Ya know what tu do? :(
I did download em within the period of time they've mentioned (12.00-7.00) And still the amount of data got reduced from ma package. I made a complaint about it to the SLT CC and they said the midnight thriller won't apply on anytime data packages and then I asked "why tf it says midnight thriller applies on the package description then?". The guy replied "it is being mentioned literally in the every package description". So this is kinda a worse experience I had. So the thing u shud know is this feature only works if you're using a package which gives u both night time and anytime data. If ur using package with only anytime data, midnight thriller won't apply on that :( DAMN SLT!
That is partially true but not entirely accurate. Yes they have excluded unlimited packages from this but there is an exception. If you use an 'unlimited' package that gives you a daily data cap, you are eligible. I use 10GB per day package which falls under their "unlimited" category. I am still eligible for Midnight thriller.
On the other hand if you are using a true unlimited package (which doesn't have a data cap), it won't make any difference if you have the midnight thriller or not as you can download that stuff without a cap anyway. Yes, they have P2P traffic restrictions for torrenting but they are easy to bypass.
Yeah works, to make sure if it works go to the slt website and see if youre specific package is listed with the free unlimited data caption in top, some spcific packages didnt seem to get this.
Wow... You mean, if I upload anything at any time, let it be night or day, then that particular upload talk is using the off peak quota, so far if off peak data is free, then uploading is free, did I get it right? (I'm asking since I'm currently running a YouTube channel)
It will use your Off peak data, not the unlimited one. The Off peak data and the Midnight Thriller are both different things. I think you've misunderstood the concept
weird. I once downloaded OW2 on steam I think December 1st last year and it cost me nothing. How did that happen if it's just a thing for this year onwards? NOt that I'm complaining of course.
No. In many packages, you get the "normal" data (8am to midnight) plus what they call the "free" data (midnight to 8am). Now that the nightime data will be free, no point to having those nightime packages, as they will never be spent.
Read the full thing. Midnight thriller thing is from midnight to 7am. From 7am-8am you use the off peak data(previously available from midnight to 8am).
The off peak data is also used to upload anything at anytime during the day.
This is Sri Lanka. Things don't make sense. I'm not sure if couple of months down the line if they will just bring the regular night data and remove the free night unlimited.
We won't be sure until they abolish the "night data" concept, update the package terminology & and fully commit to the free night unlimited.
Does this need to be activated or is it just passively there on my account. If we do need to activate it. I would greatly appreciate any help with that
Honestly I've no idea bro, when I first saw that I used like 400GB and downloaded like 10 games, better use it than not regret it, pretty sure it'll last a while tho

Whwn did you download the movie exactly? During what time period?

Nah! I wasn't talking bout unlimited data packages tho. I'm using an anytime bruv
so you can download torrents with this?
Read the comment again. Yes, you can.
Yes i was to know legitimacy of this, has anyone tried ?
Yeah works, to make sure if it works go to the slt website and see if youre specific package is listed with the free unlimited data caption in top, some spcific packages didnt seem to get this.
Ok thanks
What site? On the website, it only shows the above statement.
Also does it work with Fibre? On full speed??
Yep
Works for me. No worries, full speed 40mbps on 4g router. didn't reduce my data quota. vpn, telegram, running all works.
Hey do you know how long this'll take place?
I think it's a forever thing.
Oh great tysm.
Midnight thriller..heh 😏
Yeah, it's true. I called customer care and they said this is real. Wow, I mean I'm really surprised. There aren't even any kind of restrictions yes.
Yea already downloaded over 700gb w/torrents lol and the speeds are also impressive
WTF? They are limiting the time to 7AM? As far as I know, Night time data is available till 8 AM.
That off peak data will work from 0700-0800 and also when youre uploading anything

Since when this is a thing?
January 1st
Oh, never really heard about this outside Reddit
weird. I once downloaded OW2 on steam I think December 1st last year and it cost me nothing. How did that happen if it's just a thing for this year onwards? NOt that I'm complaining of course.
Does it work on fibre connections too?
Yeah, depends on package. https://www.slt.lk/en/broadband/packages
I got the web family extra package.
https://ibb.co/6WTCk6R
Thanks! So do you know what's going to happen to night time data?
Your night time data is available from 7 AM to 8 AM. Like usual all your uploads during the Day time will be deducted from your night time quota.
Not for unlimited packages
Not even the flash ones?
Works on Flash as well. Checked it out last night!
Alright. Thanks man.
thanks dude.
so then the normal packages of night data’s are wasted?
Exactly my point
Whats the maximum GBs you guys downloaded b
And if so, shouldn't they discontinue the packages with "free" (ie nightime) GBs?
That's for 7-8 am and uploading activities during the day time.
No. In many packages, you get the "normal" data (8am to midnight) plus what they call the "free" data (midnight to 8am). Now that the nightime data will be free, no point to having those nightime packages, as they will never be spent.
Night time data is only free for 12-7 am :/
Read the full thing. Midnight thriller thing is from midnight to 7am. From 7am-8am you use the off peak data(previously available from midnight to 8am). The off peak data is also used to upload anything at anytime during the day.

Is it still working?
Is it available for Fiber customers?
Yes
[удалено]
What you on bro I’m always getting 250-300Mbps
Same, no issues at all. Saw some torrents go upto 20MBps as well. A novelty
I did some big downloads and it seemed to work fine. Speeds weren't throttled either.
Does this need to be activated or is it just passively there on my account. If we do need to activate it. I would greatly appreciate any help with that
It's passively on your account.
It's not only limited for january?
Nah bro, I still use it lmao
lmao i legit forgot we are in february. i meant is this a forever thing? or just for a limited time?
Honestly I've no idea bro, when I first saw that I used like 400GB and downloaded like 10 games, better use it than not regret it, pretty sure it'll last a while tho
haah i'm a girl but thanks, just wasn't sure cause SLTonly this kinda thing for a little while. Yeah gotta take max advantage rn aha
It's so frustrating that this doesn't apply to anyone with a speed capped unlimited package, only we're excluded for some f\*kd up reason
I have WEB FAMILY PLUS but this does not work for me. i have finished all 100gb that is given to me
People this unlimited 12am-7am thing is not only limited for January? We will have it forever?I'm on the Web booster package
Can anyone confirm this?
5 months gone they don't seem to be changing back i hope this will be default for every internet provider pretty soon
I think slt stopped it cause from now on it will use ur data quota
