Guys, what's the point of upgrading from your present situation, say, from 512kbps or 1mbps to 4mbps when Streamyx throttles your downloads from many sites (such as the file sharing sites like RapidShare, Megaupload, etc UTube, torrents, etc) to 5kbps? Just check out the many threads on the main page here and you will learn about the what TMNet is secretly doing to throttle the download speed on the major file sharing sites!

512kbps is already more than enough for internet surfing. We only require the fast speed because we want to download stuffs from internet. TMNet is a cheater - on one hand it is offering you faster speed but on the other hand it is throttling your download speed to 5kbps! You're worst off in the end since you are now bound by contract for 24 months. That means you cannot change your ISP if you find out their trick subsequently without having to pay a hefty penalty!

Looking at TMNet's present offer, it looks like their hidden main intention is not so much as to give you goodies but to bind you with a contract to prevent you from switching to another ISP such as P1Wimax or any others that will come on-stream in the near future. That's the trouble when we have a government that gives out monopoly business to its cronies. They can cheat you and you can't do anything about it!
