hahaha so many ANGRY pirates and porno freaks in this thread. i'd say it's about time TM did something like that .

Huh? What do you mean?

well, not all pirates and porno freaks la...some people also need to use some amount of bandwidth to work lor...like mine, always have to receive and send data around 500M per day...must manage la after this...

u fool, 10GB/month means youtube also affected

they will charge base on bandwidth usage. a new package. just wait for official launch. But i don't know how they will set the price.

I think most of you don't realise how little it is to have 20GB or even 40GB per month.



Besides, the package above doesn't even makes any sense. 10Mb/s is priced way too expensive for the average household not to mention that many houses in the nation cannot even support the current streamyx combo packages of 2Mb/s and 4Mb/s. So this will effectively forced all the current users to stay put at 1Mb/s for 10GB? I will rather use 1Mb/s for 160GB (four times slower but four times more data).

The only way i will ever agree to such a data-based plan if the following conditions are met:
1. As the purpose is to be fair to all broadband users, then there CANNOT BE anymore latency issues, slowdown or choked speed. Users should be getting at least 90% speed of what they paid for at ALL TIMES.
2. Internet traffic MUST NOT be filtered or throttled (whether for p2p or otherwise). If i'm already paying for the data, why should TMnet care if i plan to fully utilize what i paid for?
3. Throttled download speed after the monthly quota is met MUST BE reasonable. You don't expect people who pay for 1Mb/s or 4Mb/s packages to settled for just a mere 30kB/s download which is not even enough for surfing especially in a house with few users. Hence a more reasonable figure would be half of what you're paying for (4Mb/s -> 2Mb/s, 1Mb/s -> 512kbps, etc)
4. Monthly quota MUST BE reasonable (at least 100GB for 1Mb/s, 400GB for 4Mb/s, etc) and then we're talking.
5. Current packages price MUST BE reduced. If i'm already paying RM88 for an "unlimited" 1Mb/s packages, why should i continue paying the same amount for something lesser?

so when will it start?

I agree with the bolded ones...not that i'm disagreeing with 3,4,5...

*see if they can provide us 90% of the speed all the time..

agree with

3. throttle half the speed of the package.

1mbps at least 45G usage. 2mb 90G, 4mb 180G

45G for 1Mb means 1.5G per day...

wow i rarely reach that...wonder what do you guys download ^^

i can reach 200++GB per month with just use 1Mbps package, so average 7++GB per day

why not they use the peak and off peak method instead of throttling? very stupid TMNUT

I have said this elswehere before...

The use of unlimited is for marketing purposes. There is no such thing as unlimited. Even with a 1Mb or 4Mb package, there is a limit to how much you can download every day or month.

When they say "always-on", it means you can have your Streamyx connected all day and still pay the package rate. When they say "unlimited access" or "unlimited internet" or "unlimited broadband", it means you can access the internet anytime you want for as long as you want each day and still pay the package rate. It does not mean you can have unlimited download as that is limited as said above due to technical and time limitations based on your package speed.

Has anyone seen any reference by Streamyx saying "unlimited data transfer"? Data transfer and bandwidth are different.

Don't forget that the bandwidth cap affect not only download but your internet activities. So if you surf image heavy sites or youtubing alot per day, the remaining 15GB will finish before you know it. Furthermore, for those who are sharing the connection, 40GB is certainly not enough.

This is bad... Really bad...

lol fool. there's many other things to do other than download pirate movies, games etc and p0n0s.

a complete Linux ISO would get u around 700MB to 4GB+ already. let's say you're involved into SOHO video editing with friends all over Malaysia and the format is in HD, that's gonna get u a whole lot of bandwidth u know.

there's many other things in the world besides pirates and p0n0s. i guess you're one of those that mindlessly download em yeah?
