Simple. For some life doesnt revolve around bittorrenting.
I signed up to a commercial shell and didnt use it for first couple of days - does that make me a spy for an opposing commercial shell company?

If he were to be a spy. Why use *@tm.net email instead of free emails service like hotmail or yahoo. It would be more anonymous for him, am i right?

Perhaps his internet is down or his grandmother is charged to hospital for giving birth. Who knows.

- Option to route certain traffic only through VPN (Reduced overhead)

Actually how is this possible?
BTW how about offering a one week package as well?

EDIT: Will total privacy be ensured? Eg. my data wouldn't be monitored or sniffed out.

Don't be misunderstanding guys, i didn't say the client is a spy at all. I just want to know if everyone can get email@tm.net.my or not. It might have been blown a bit out of proportion.

probably using sort of proxy server, and directing ur torrent client to 'just using that proxy'. Hence, the client wont mess with streamyx bandwidth.

but the other way around , im not sure. that means, normal connection might creep into vpn connection biggrin.gif . Unless , of course, if the vpn service is ONLY open through the proxy. wink.gif



and about privacy? heck, i dont even know whether Telkom is monitoring me now or not

Last time, I got one friend asking if there is anyway to post political contents in a forum anonymously. Well, using VPN is one way to do that. I've explained VPN at another thread. Let me just rephrase it..

QUOTE
Generally, when a big corporation has many branches, the branch will have to get connected with the HQ to share data. Example would be bank. How they are connected? They usually use a dedicated line for themselves only for security, not connected to the internet.

Branch <------> HQ


However, such dedicated line is very expensive. Hence, Virtual Private Network was introduced. What VPN does, is connecting the branch and HQ through internet connection. Let's just say streamyx. Although the connection is through internet, it is encrypted to provide security measure and only accessible by them.

Branch <--encrypted--- Internet ---encrypted--> HQ


Now, why the term VPN? It's a private network because connection between branch and HQ is hidden from public. It's virtual because the private network is actually hidden from public by making tunnel for themselves using encryption. Not really inaccessible from outside world like dedicated line above. If the tunnel is leaking (or encryption broken), then public can tap their line.

My biggest worry is that even after using a paid VPN my speed will not increase by much as my torrents aren't popular with only about 1-2 seeds & 5-10 peers.

For your case, vpn might not help much honestly. sweat.gif

Guinea Pig is the term used for early adopters where the technology/process or whatever is unknown or not fully proven.
Derived from the fact that guinea pigs (amongst other animals) are used in the testing of drugs.

With the vpn service, bt shouldn't be any problems....(i am using one)...
but the concerns are

1. Your connection to the provider (how big is the provider bandwidth?)
2. Your provider to their VPN gateway ?

Please let us know what is the bandwidth....

1. The server has burstable 1 gbps fiber-links to their upstream carriers
2. I can only say streamyx connected to the server through cogent network. How fast is their connection i'm not sure.

So far, the highest total bandwidth that we've ever use is a little over 4 Mb/s. We know sooner or later, the bandwidth will be used up. That's why, at the first page, we're saying that we reserve the rights to reject your application to ensure enough bandwidth to everyone.

Are you referring to screenshot at this page? I believe 82.xxx.xxx.xxx is not Malaysian's IP. May be i should capture again and use resolve IP.
