^ Not true. You can have a 5Mb Downstream and still be capped. When mine was capped and I complained, they raised my line speed to 3Mb and it was still capped at 50 KB/s. Idiots.

I've already gotten it uncapped and have since upgraded to a 4Mb line. They have yet to cap me but I've been downloading less these days (nothing much to download anyways).

my line back to capped this morning. I go back to TMPOINT. BLABLABLABLA. Give Fire, Give Blabalbalbalalalala. And... tm technician came today. he uncapped my speed at RDSLAM at 24048Kbps. Guess what??????? speed still capppppppppped ma.
I think there are 2 place our speed were setup. 1 at DSLAM and other 1 at their control center. after a few minutes, i get back my speed; with 24048Kbps at DSLAM, 1024Kbps at "control center". (even not 1Mb, consider 1Mb lar Streamyx biasa lar..)  I swear, if they change back, i will ******* TM point!. This post has been edited by xdsl: Sep 3 2009, 04:41 PM

Nerfing heavy users is the cheapest maintenance option while keeping the profit high.
8/10 friends of mine who uses streamyx just download anything everyday/ night which usually comes up to 8GB per week. 10GB as OP stated isnt alot per month and i have reached 14GB last month due to downloading a new purchased game digitally, have yet to receive any letter from TM.
Still stay safe and dont be greedy, use the bandwidth wisely and you will get to get away from the throttle. Dont think that you must use to the limit with what you have paid for.

Yes, they didn't perform new wired or change new cable, and what they do only, need technician to confirm which cable (given codes) then to change the SNR from Control Center, which is SNR to carry the correct SNR for streamyx line...

small calculation.
1Mb, if full 100% usage ( 1 / 8 ) * 3,600 * 24 * 30 = 324 GB
now, they give you 10 GB. that is 10/324 = 3% !!!!!

To remind us that TM did it before, is doing this now, and is going to be doing the exactly same thing in the future, whenever the god forsaken company feels like it.

QUOTE(sakurazaka @ Aug 26 2009, 11:14 PM) I suffered from an oddly consistent slow download speed of 20k/B - 30k/B recently . Upload speed is unaffected. After suffering for a week, i called the 100 helpline and lodge a complaint in spite of the cable issue affecting international data transfers as this is affecting my local test results from TM Speedometer which shows a constant result of 300kbps of download speed. Today i got a call from one TM technician who claimed that TM is conducting test, on an area by area basis, on so called heavy users by limiting their download speed once a certain amount of data has been used by the subscriber. I was angry with his reply because no prior notice of this was given and secondly, when i signed up for the broadband service years ago, it was suppose to be unlimited. Further, when i enquired what's his definition of heavy users and light users, he says heavy users are those who exceed the cap of 10GB (!!??) and light users are those who do the occasional web surfing. I shoot back and asked why will i need to pay for a 1Mb/s connection just for surfing the internet? Besides, isn't 10GB too low of an amount for an internet user? (what the hell are you going to do with 10GB?!) He still insist that it's for testing purposes and they were acquiring public feedback on this. Well obviously no subscribers is going to be happy about this. TMnet has already been throttling p2p traffic and now they are testing some bandwidth limitation on our "unlimited" broadband packages? This means we can't even do too much of direct downloading on our "high" broadband speed. No point paying so much for 1Mb/s-4Mb/s if at the end of the day, you will end up with 30kB/s of download speed which is just right for web surfing. This is not what we signed up for. Given TMnet's current business tactics (overselling bandwidth while maximising profits), i have a bad feeling this wouldn't be just for testing purposes. Just wondering whether anyone have gotten the same confirmation from a TM representative. Well this analogy will be tested tomorrow. Dec 1st. I got this feeling they aren't actually capping. They have insufficient bandwidth perhaps? Or dedicating bandwidth to unifi for testing? Or maybe year end bandwidth costs, and if they exceed ?? TB they gotta pay some extra amount. They have just too many problems. But yeah, let's see. Dec 1st.
