That's because enterprising youths started setting up VPNs and other tunneling services that circumvent the throttling; bringing everything back to square one. With volume caps, there's usually no discrimination of applications, just a measure of volume. pass over that, and whoosh, down to 64k.
And let's be honest, why does one want all that unlimited volume quota for ? Grabbing something that's not yours is not a valid reason.

those wanna download will find a way...
and you...continue enjoy ur slowline...

there's no way around a volume cap Sir...

we'll see...

idiots hoping for the idiotic.

Bro... u r really slowpoke king lah......

watever u said...u're just jelous...lulz...
happy snailing the line..

Thinks more on technically.Not commonly.

Now you, sir, is one of those TM cybertroopers.

This thread really lol. 1st page is /k/, then 2nd to 5th page is RWI, then 6th page is jokes heaven.

If this reach 8th page sure garage sales.

i demand lower pings!!!!

I thought stramyx have fair usage long time ago... 20Gb per month...

TM oh TM
our broadband already expensive enough compare to other country
thn they throttle p2p
now they want to cap the volume and make it more expensive?
charge more with more cap and slower speed....phailed la

yeah oldfag

streamyx no need capping coz they never give the speed you sign up

Exactly - it can boost the economy

Its a stimulus package - you cut down on bandwidth , people are forced to pay RM 9 cheap dvds/blueray rip to watch p0rn thus boosting the country's economy

I lol'ed

Uber lol


Anyway , just to simplify things (I'll try my best to use simple lingo)

I to disagree (if they are going to give 4Mbps but cap at 20GB - they can just forget it and I'll downgrade back to 1Mbps or 512Kbps). However if they are going to upgrade their services , give us 8Mbps-24Mbps and umm say 40GB Of cap. THen I would say its great


Now , I'll just wait and see. If its true , we're dead. However even after capping people's bandwidth and such and there is still slowness , then we all do know who to blame. Currently TMNut blames us for downloading p0rn

If everything goes okay. THose who use the internet for R&d , would benefit because web-sites should take faster to load as those who are hogging iit will be punished (no , not even your RM 199.99 VPN solution is going to help you) , those who watch youtube would buffer from faster speed , those who play games should benefit as well (lower pings)

Folks that wouldn't benefit

1. VPN Sellers , etc - Forget it - once the capping thingy kicks in - VPN bypass becomes useless. You're capped per limit. Just like how 3G/GPRS charges for your phone !

2. p0rn downloaders - forget it - you can't even watch p0rn once you've been capped. 64Kbps and umm watching p0rn - think again

3. bit-torrent users - Again , 64Kbps (~7 KiloBytes/sec) to download your anime , HD movies. That would take ages !

For me , IF TMNet is going to increase speed by 5-6x and enforce data limit , I agree


Tech terms

Cap = THey enforce a limit. That means you can enjoy a maximum of xMbps untill u have reached a certain limit/volume. After that its going to be very slow

Throttle = simply make certain applications (i.e youtube , torrent) to be slow - to discourage people from using that.
