Intend to upgrade.
But do you think they'll have similar promotions after 31st Dec?

Good to hear that fabianz03.
I'm using that router too, and also just tried to upgrade to 4mb online.
Now still in process. Hope I get a call soon.

Reset your router modem then start the wizard over again.......set modulation type (Advanced --->> ADSL --->>Modulation type) to ADSL2+ Multi-Mode
*
For my case if I set to ADSL2+ Multi-Mode, I'll always get 1200kbps only.
If I set to just ADSL Multi-Mode, then I'll be able to reach 2048kbps.
Not sure why.

hmm, technician just came to check my line
says cannot support 4mbps, even cannot support 2mbps, because
SNR: 12.0db (must be > 15db)
Attenuation: 45.5db (must be < 40d)
nothing i can do about it, unless telekom upgrades the lines here -__-

but funny leh, my line is already capped at 2mbps (1mbps package) and can download at about 180kB/s.
is there really nothing i can do? or just wait for hsbb...

but u shud be happy for having almost 2m speed paying 1m ? o.O

u're right i should be happy.
im not complaining actually.

just want 4mbps because of the premium ip, and... who doesn't want higher speeds.
at normal ip, even 100kB/s is very rare. unless i just dl from microsoft.com, apple.com lol
not to mention the various slowdowns for streaming, gaming, even browsing.

lol when did this become a phone line quality helpdesk.
i can't say for sure man. besides, the technicians use their own modems to test.
if you want to upgrade, do it now (since promotion ends 31st dec) and they will send over a technician to test your line.
not like you need to pay for that.

omg....... your line sux
SNR margin at least 15db......  Line attenuation : not above 50db.
my SNR margin = Signal    Higher better... i got 10db after upgrade to 4mb. ( Higher speed -> lower margin )
Line Attenuation = Line noise. very high.....       
happened to me b4... the tech suggest me to change the telephone line from the tiang outside until my modem cost me RM80... and yet it's improved alot... the cable ald 17years. ++

Suk, can you explain further what you mean 'change telephone line from the tiang outside'?
How can I do that?
