sluggish HD TV FTW!!

i bet no one wants to watch IPTV anyway if the contents is full of crap like our normal TV's sleep.gif

I prefer download international tv shows instead of wasting watching crappy IPTV biggrin.gif

Yeah... The show itself isn't interesting enough... Nobody would even bother to watch those crappy channel... Rather download and watch international TV shows...

Yea they've started throttling somewhat.... one way or the other.
On some certain sites I could download at 150kb/s, but my surfing speed would suffer. Ironically, this has NEVER happened before prior to 2 weeks ago.

I found it strange though.... and our country is supposed to improve ISP services. This is absurd.

Always-on just means that you can access the internet any time of the day, and all day if you want but yet pay the fixed package rate. Unlike the dialup days, where if you were always-on, your phone bill will shoot up very high as dialup was based on a usage basis. I do not think that always-on was advertised as meaning that you can always download 24/7. We have come to expect that though. Always-on is related to a fixed price in this case.
There is a difference between bandwidth and data transfer. Data transfer is the amount of data you can send and receive (upload / download). It is the quantity of data eg in MB or GB. Bandwidth is the speed in which you can transfer that amount of data. It is how fast you can send or receive that data. It is quanity per time frame.

Your package of eg 1Mbps or 4Mbps is already a limit of your bandwidth, so saying unlimited bandwidth is wrong. With a 1Mbps bandwidth connection, if you download 24/7 the whole month, you can download approx 300+ GB of data (data transfer). That is the limit of your data transfer per month under ideal conditions. So saying you have unlimited data transfer is wrong.

Given a specific timeframe, the 4Mb user can download more than the 1Mb user. Given a specific amount of data, the 4Mb user can download it faster than the 1Mb user. But there is a limit either by timeframe, amount of data or speed of connection. No such thing as unlimited.

The problem, why put unlimited...?

If they do have limit of bandwidth transfer, why certain people can download 1TB or more a month with 1Mb/sec package or other package... So, mean they implementations are failure for sure.... lack of technician experience...

We are living in real situations, unlimited are shown by TMNet for streamyx package before... tell me should they change the way they advertise, see what happen later...

Who says streamyx does not have FUP?

http://www.streamyx.com/customer_care/cust...ir_usage_policy

If only people care to look. I already saw that like more than 6 months ago. I also remember seeing something like 10mb. It could be from another ISP's FUP or they edited it.

Anyway...ALL broadband provider now have FUP whether they call it one name or another. Only most users IGNORE them when they sign up. They did not even bother to question about them. I remember when I was looking to sign up Maxis' 3G service, I asked about this FUP by maxis in this forum but nobody even bother to find out what it is. All they cared is to compare what speed they are getting and how much they can download per day. Sure, when maxis started, they want your business, hence you can download at a comfortable rate. But then they start capping them, they will start complaining like some b**** and talking about consumer rights and all.
*
Of course la have FUP brader, the point is not having FUP here, but, you didn't get the point, its common sense, why put Unlimited...? People will think its unlimited bandwidth...

Whatever FUP is that, I never signed before (even seeing) with FUP limitations such bandwidth.

My speed went back up after reconnecting from yesterday's line.

Not sure whether its the bandwidth reloaded or lucky, but t5his is the first time i got 150+kbps speed back after 3 weeks. But then today is 1st of September and my speed miraculously returned in the beginning of the month? I guess fakapmyx might have really implemented limited bandwidth.

Now im worried T_T

I just discovered something funny.

I have 2 streamyx accounts at home, each on a dedicated line.
The line in my room is capped at 1.5Mbps, and download rate is anywhere between 150k/b to 180k/b. This line is considered 'heavy usage'.

The other line, outside of my room, is capped at 1Mbps, and the best download rate that I can get for this line is 70k/b or so. My younger brother and sister share this line. This line is considered 'normal usage', and I haven't used this line for ages.

Yesterday I did several speed tests on the second line, and much to my surprise it is capped at 0.50Mb/s!

i just just off my modem then it on back again to get new dynamic IP range..

example:
before : 60.48.**.***
then i turn off the modem and restart to get other than above IP address like 60.52.**.***

i noticed some significant changes in term of my upload/dload speed..

HEY Guys!

REMEMBER, may be they not only count downloads but also uploads,

this is really stupid, 10GB? for me, less than 24 hours enough to finish at 160kb/s speed(1mbps(actually 1.3mbps))

Lets say, If we download 10GB at 160kb/s speed all the time (just an example)

10GB = 10000000KB
10000000KB / 160KB/sec = 62500sec
62500sec = 1042mins = 17 hours

we could have finished 10GB at fulltime highest download speed 160kb/s in 17 hours

BUT, how if they do count uploads? Since now most download manager use P2P technology, upload speed could spend up to 30% extra of your 10GB , the data even faster gone, less than 17 hours,

10GB? nah, go to hell, give me 80GB still not enough

I was in Australia, highspeed but expensive data packages, stupid fairy usage system!

I'd rather take imperfect 1mbps speed with no data count than 20mbps highspeed with data counted
