Yeah i'm frm ipoh too, morning the connection still ok but since around 1 pm very slow...
but weird is d/l frm hotfile is ok... normal speed 130++kB/s on my 1 mbps connection.

no luck for SS (<2kB/s) MU still acceptable (>10kB/s)

Last week I couldn't even logged in at all frm Friday nite to Sunday afternoon. Called them n they told me there is
an outage affecting more than 1,000 customers in the Northern Region...

i c, i did the ping test for http://s103.hotfile.com
n it average around 330 ms.
thanks for the info

Hofile is hosted in the US

I guessed u speak a bit too fast. Speed in Ipoh was back to normal this morning but since around 10.41 am back to crawling speed like
yesterday!!!!

However HF is still ok like yesterday.

Hope they will fix the Northern Region prob ASAP. Last week almost 2 days cannot even log on.

I'm in Ipoh, like I mentioned above last week from Fri nite to Sunday afternoon, I can't logged in to
Streamyx.
And yes, my DSL is NOT blinking also.

So I think you should call 100 if still cannot tomorrow since mine came back in 2 days n
they is some prob in the nortern region, but Puchong is not in the North.

wow i never got such speed when d/l torrent. maybe it's the torrent i'm trying to d/l is not that healthy
Maybe you should report back after downloading another torrent.

These few days, speed like roller coaster in Ipoh, suddenly very fast
then the next moment straight drop to very slow w/o warning.

Hope the problem with Northern will be fixed soon.

Maybe you should try downloading a few files at the same time (and see if u are getting a higher d/l speed: ADD the d/l speed for the diff files)
If you are using some FREE direct d/l service there is a limit on the maximum speed imposed by them
(i'm not sure what's the max and it might and should be diff for diff sites)

for 4 Mbps, u should be able to get around 500kB/s (notice the DIFFERENCE between "b" and "B")

so it's (4 Mbps = 500 kB/s) you can state your speed in b (bits) or B (bytes).

Actually your ping to a local server at 11 Mbps is much HIGHER than the speed you subscribe (which is good)
Try ping some INTERNATIONAL servers e.g. US, German (Europe) ...... as most of the d/l sites are hosted
there n see if u r getting a good speed.

BTW I assume u are getting d/l speed at around 250 kB/s and not 250 kb/s
which is around half the max speed u are subscribing (and remember the d/l speed might
slow down a lot if you are doing heavy browsing at the same time e.g. watching youtube)

Actually while watching youtube or other video sites you are (usually) downloading
the videos into your temp file. in short watching youtube = d/l
