Not everyone can afford to pay for dedicated or Virtual shared server services. But yes it would help :/ We can't even do it from our own home cause the speed is too crap

The way i see it, if our home user internet is fast, we can host the contents from our own pc or server at home like they do in Japan and South Korea because they are able to.




That may help. But keep in mind that there is a google project to build the internet wire from singapore to japan. Why wasn't malaysia apart of that? So whats the chance that they would add a server in malaysia, when they most probably would put it in singapore ?




Torrent is throttled in malaysia



Work as tm management no point. Your working for the companys interest, not the public. If your company is a monopoly, and the government is happy to let it be, why would you want to change the status quo to be more unfavourable to you? The shared holders will get pissed. That is why it is up to your government to liberalize the internet infrastructure so that it will be more competitive and lead to cheaper broadband. This happened in japan and south korea, as a result their citizens can enjoy fast and cheap broadband, whereas we are still paying a high price for a sub par broadband speed.


Pointing out problems here is not counter productive :/ it just highlight to people that tmnut has a real problem and they need to fix it. We know the system is wrong, and our politicians should start listening and clean up the mess they have let run for too long (tmnut monopoly :/ ).

problems = rant

no problem = no rant



Anyway back to HSBB. It's almost here so after seeing the price we will see if there is anything more to complain about

MOOGLE HALP!!! YUE IS MAKIN' ME TANK AFTER I DING 80!!! NEED MOAR TANK TIPS!!!!!!

to be frank (i wanna be tom...), torrent is allowed in singapore, you dunno how they do it doesn't mean they are not doing it. take Slackware torrent link or another debain rip-off, Ubuntu torrent link, are singaporean gonna be sue till their pants off by doing so?

like most gomen plans, they are not being executed due to peer pressure they had gotten from peeps around them. take getting petroleum with IC thing that they had scrapped.

did they done field study? no...
did they study the inplication? no...
did they bought the equiptment? yes...
did they wasted $$? yes...

same thing goes with the old fag rais yatim's idea to filter the web; he and the gomen would get srsly bombarded by online media (mainly online news and bloggers), and ended up with higher risk of voters swaying over to the opposition and lose during next election.

power or filter? tough choice...

plz tell me:

• ROI for investors just to deal with small amount of local users while making international users suffer
• why ISP is throttling if it is saving bandwidth? torrent hogs bandwidth instead of saving it

Now if only TM won that bid to broadcast BPL here ....

If I'm not mistaken, TM and the government signed an agreement not to open the infrastructure till 2015, with reviews done every year. I doubt they'll change anything before then, but after that, one can only pray.

Torrents local to local aren't throttled, so I think that's what he meant.

As with all public infrastructure, it takes goverment initiative, planning and will power to effect any form of change, let alone set anything up properly. It's quite obvious the Malaysian government lacks any of that.

Well, there's a reason why we set up a rants thread in here, you know.

i think this- if hisamuddin or younger generation minister were to be in this multimedia ministry- things will change for the brighter.
no monopoly and this and that...rather than the old fags that had rule this ministry for ages

back to HSBB,

would it be great? yes, untill it start getting crowded...

would it be fast? yes, untill it start getting crowded...

would it be reliable? yes, untill it start getting crowded...

dun tell me what i said is lie, it happened when broadband got introduced; it happened when 4mbps got introduced...

what make you think it won't happen few months down the road when people start jamming into the fast 'service'?

I was told that the 5/10/20Mbps packages will have the 3 services. Apart from the internet speed , the difference would be eg if you buy video on demand, it may cost more if you have the lower package and cost less if you have the higher package. The IPTV bandwidth is separate so does not affect the Internet part. Supposedly we are going to be surprised with the pricing... just have to wait till tomorrow.

Torrent doesn't exactly hogs bandwidth. It's P2P. The more user in Malaysia uses it, the less international bandwidth it will consume.

Now TM is throttling it because currently Streamyx do not have high upload speed (512 kbps only), so majority of the bandwidth is on international link. HSBB might change that -- 5mbps upload will means an increase of 10x!!

And torrent is not throttled. Check out those impressive speed users are getting.

Yes, the infrastructure in Malaysia is governed by monopolizing. Everything is based on networking, instead of professionalism. Its very common to see "XXX's niece is working on Project Y". They can even open up a new company just to tender a sure-win contract. This is most probably why Google don't want to setup their server here.

Datacenter is not cheap, but it is a viable business. I think it will generate enough revenue if it targets Malaysia alone, but hey I've done enough research on this so I wouldn't know.

I dont think we get 10Mbps download and 5Mbps upload

I bet we will get 10Mbps dl and 1Mbps ul.
correct me if wrong

google definitely wont be coming to our shit up shores.....haiz...
wat to do...just nag loh

i wonder what's the pricing for 1gb for business.....

hi experts ive encountered this problem... my optic cable line at downstairs. it was a bad mistake as both me and my bros pc were upstairs. we dont want those tm ppl to hack our wall thats why we want it to be simple. but both our pc cannot detect the router from upstairs.. so we decided to buy a 20m lan cable and bring the router to the top floor. while the modem is still downstairs.. problems solved after that..

but now.. my ps3 which is downstairs.. haha cannot connect.. want to ask you guys.. from the back of the fibre optic modem got 4 lan port.. 1 already connected to the wireless router.. can i use another port to connect it to my ps3?? because i tried.. and use wired connection it cannot detect.

thats what i was intended to do..

+90000

google wont be coming here becoz there are no real advantages for it to come here..not to mention..our connection to singapore is quite good also..at times..so they dont need to come here..

HAHAHAHAHAH SingTel also corrupt. Everyday got people complaining. Don't be so naive la brother. SingTel also GLC. I've worked for them. I know.

Does anyone know what is this for ??

plz tell me: how many files are there in your torrent client? 1 file? 5 file?? 7 files? how small the file size? 3mb? 500kb? or would it be something like '[HQ] <put a movie name here>.mkv' that goes roughly 1.2gb?

let's do a rough calculation: 20% penetration rate, 50% of total are doing torrent 3 300mb files, 20% of total are streaming files and 40% of the above actions has leech 1 international server...

it's just a rough speculation but still enough to see those torrents 'that doesn't hog bandwidth' are hogging it alright... only 50% doing torrent, i'm must be joking... torrents not being throttled... you are right, they are being traffic shaped...

hence there are threads lying somewhere around here that goes 'client bypass traffic shaping'

HSBB would bring greater dl capacity, and with the current lifestyle... crystal clear stuff on HDMI screens, running on mkv format or low resolution avi format on HDMI for pleasure viewing semi pixelated stuff? you're forgetting humans are greedy in nature...

even so, the response are quick and there are indeed alternatives

at least there's a choice for them to choose from, unlike here

choices? as in? please tell me!

let's see...
