Kudos to TMnet for coming up with another hare-brained scheme to throw our broadband experience back to the dinosaur ages. Where people around the world are embracing media rich content over the internet, TMnet has yet again manage to find ways to limit ours. In fact they shouldn't even call this broadband, but "high speed" dial up instead since we're liable for every single MB over the internet

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?

I LMAO at those who think throttling and quota system will improve their streamyx connection. Since p2p throttling was conducted years back, how has the connection improve? If anything, i suffered more slowdown, timeout and packet loss ever since such a system and the fair usage policy was introduced. With this quota system looming on the horizon i foresee more of such problems surfacing rather than actual improvements.

It's obvious this was done to fatten up their profit margin by signing up more subscribers but at the same time providing less bandwidth. I pity the fool who thinks otherwise.
