I just went back from TM.

The deal is really shit....

It seem like TM is forcing us old user to accept a further 2 year deal. Imagine that we old user paying RM88 Streamyx 1Mbps + RM26 for rental. Then you see the combo package, its just RM120 inclusive of the phone line rental.

I think what vergas  is asking is this.

If he has a 2048 port and a 512 account, max he gets is 0.5. Because his account is capped at 512.

But with a 2048 port and a 1Mb account, his account should be capped at 1Mb. So he should be getting 0.8-0.9 max. But why can he get 1.1-1.3 or even 1.5? Is it because his 1Mb account is not capped?

Sorry, I think in my earlier reply, I mixed you up with vergas .

If your port is at 1024, you will get approx 0.8-0.9 only.

I am not sure if they will change your port. I am trying to find that out also at this time.

I do not think that TM cap you by your username/account. If they really implement this, why are they capping you via port?
If they cap you wrongly, then you get free upgrade. Simple as that.

Like many of us, older subscribers, we do have 1.5mbps port with a 1mbps acc. We did get between 1.3mbps~1.5mbps depending on your online time. Right now Im still on 1mbps package, but my port get wrongly cap to 2mbps after they did some hardware change. When I was on 1.5mbps port, my max http download is about 150kB/s and now on 2mbps port gets about 210kB/s.

However, looking back at the Sreamyx promotion form, I realise that 2mbps is gonna be norm nowadays unless you really unwilling to pay the difference. RM88 1mbps package + RM26 rental already cost you RM114/month. Add RM6 and you get 2mbps combo which includes free phone line rental. The problem is the 24months contract that might come in handy for TM should they really implement price reduction soon.
