Where got limit le? now not yet later only but even if they limit it wont be 60gb anymore it might be higher but i dont care coz I'm immune to it, wakakaka....

Damn, I'm jealous of your download speed.

yeah true cos some guys put up a local p2p.hehe

but why does upload matter?
i thought download is the only important factor if you want to download and surf.
upload is important if you want to uplaod videos or something.right?

Nope i just won't be capped for download limit.....

I like Fiber Optic because of it's DL & UL speed which is similar.
Good for games, torrenting, uploading and other related things.

512Kbps upload speed is just too damn slow these days.
1Mbps package here with 1.8Mbps cap.

but upload is not important right for downloading ?

upload might affect your download speed as upload also will take the bandwidth~ Kepong here lousy la~ no 4mb line, only got hsbb. But I'm bound to the 2 years contract~ ><

But then early of next year I'm moving to Seriamas there~ Hope got 4mb line, and hope by then they offer 5mb for streamyx~*cross fingers* LOL

Kepong here sucks - slow + frequent disconnection~

Let say if you're torrenting, and seeding the file you've just finished downloading, the slow upload will hamper your surfing speed. Making it laggy. But if you know how to set your connections, then you can throw the problems out.

But othet than that, no real worries.
Nowadays, upload is getting more future-proof. So I think it's better to have higher uploading speed and lower pings.

thanks for the explanation.
didnt understand 100% but at least i got something out of it.
how come the surfing speed will be slow when the torrent has finished downloading?
and i thought surfing the net is download not upload.

Since you're seeding the torrent, sometimes, a peer or two will connect you and you'll upload some bandwidth for them.
But if you stop the whole thing, then nothing is affected.

More upload bandwidth given = Less download bandwidth (roughly)

I'm planning to upgrade from 1MB to 4MB

so tell me, right now I'm paying for house line + tmbill of rm88.

by upgrading to 4MB, does this mean ill no longer be paying house line fixed monthly charges or something?

trying to do some math here.

yes its a combo.
you'll pay rm140 for phone line and the internet.
but i think you should have a look at unifi before you make a decision.

with unifi, you pay rm150 for 5mb speed and a good upload too.
and you get a hypptv in case you don't have a tv in your house.

to be honest after getting answers from some friendly people here, i think i should wait for unifi to be available at my place.
the only downside about unifi is the download cap(only for international downloads) but they have a way to beat around it.

Same question as biatche plus did they charge anything like services fee or anything, also when the first bill come how much we gonna pay and last thing during upgrade process will it interrupt my phone call?

Thank You.

i prefer bbuster deal then unifi.

for unifi = limited. after reach 120gb then ur net will be super slow.
bbuster deal nvr fails me, dl more than 100 full HD movies torrent.
still stable untill now. cheers~

that's what i thought as well but according to chyan, upload is kinda important.
so that's why im still 50/50. i still have time to think as unifi hasn't reached my place yet.

but for just surfing and downloading, uploading shouldnt matter much right?
and i dont play online games...

how much are current phone bill subscriptions? you know, this monthly bills

if someone understands me, all im trying to do is get an exact picture of the cost difference. so yea, if someone can do the math for me.

Did TM already taken off the cap limits?
If not, it's a no brainer decision, Unifi is still the best bet if you plan to get 4Mbps ADSL. Pings are far lower and interruptions are less.
Fiber Optics is the future. With copper, attenuations and margins will be their main drawbacks, if the values are not right, then you might not get your 4Mbps or even 2Mbps. Even if you do, there's a bit possibility your experience won't be smooth.

Also, not to forget, with 5Mbps Unifi, you might be capped until 10Mbps. So don't be surprised if your download speed can reach up to 1MB/sec.
As for 4Mbps, 6Mbps is the most you can get (If lucky)

Yeah. If you really wanted to get it now. 4Mbps is a good choice. All you need to know now is your copper line connection.
You can post your SNR margin & attenuations here to see if you're line is suitable for 4Mbps.

Nope. From my understanding, the cap has not been applied.
Actually now that i have learned more about unifi( thanks to you chyan also), i would rather wait for unifi.
However I dont there is no news when my area will get unifi.
It's kinda weird really since the server is in Sri Kembangan and I just live 5km max away from there.

How and where do I get my SNR margin & attenuations?

Many thanks in advance

p.s. is that Jessica from SNSD on your avatar?

I guess. Got confused just now when some of you said 180GB capping is incurred.

You type in 192.168.1.1 (LAN Router)

& Check the main page for both.

Yes. That's Jessica.

can i ask..what is the ip for 2MB package? is it 115 only or got 60.XX...
i live in Bentong...
