I'm currently on a 1mbps Super Upgrade deal @Rm71 without modem.

Can I upgrade to 4mbps if capable?
WHy is there 10MYR difference between 2mbps and 4mbps. rclxub.gif

Nice ping there.
Seems your 4Mbps has 5Mbps cap. Which is good. lol
You have no problems now. Enjoy. biggrin.gif

As for me.. I've got similar situation.
Capped higher..

So there's no point upgrading to 2mbps. I'll go straight to 4mbps. biggrin.gif

just google through this package...although it save me some money every month (RM10), but the subscription will be renew to 24 month, instead of 12 months only if i change to BLOCKBUSTER DEAL...

Just go for blockbuster. I'm on 512Kbps for 5 years ( rclxub.gif ) and finally last year upgraded to 1Mbps capped at 1.8Mbps using super upgrade deal. My monthly streamyx fee is Rm71+line rental it's RM90+. But since it came out before Blockbuster, I had to keep the package. 2 years is a lot. If not, I'd be willing to change to blockbuster.

Update 5/7/2010

This morning when I woke up, I checked the DSL status of my new line, it's upgraded to 5119kbps... cool. Then I did a speedtest at speedtest.net, ~1200kbps... Strange, I call the Streamyx Installer again, he said oooo let me check..... Fine...

Then, in the afternoon, I checked again.... still DSL status shows 5119kbps.. but same speedtest result... then I remembered I configured QOS on my tomato based WRT54GL router before.....oh.... it's my BAD. Once I reconfigured it correctly, BOOM.............4MB SPEED HERE I COME! Then I called the Streamyx Installer to thank him smile.gif

Now, the next thing to do is to terminate my old wrongly capped 5mb telephone line and old streamyx account. Then I'll ask my Electrician to redo the wiring for me. smile.gif

Nice. You finally got your speed.

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 ?

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 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 smile.gif torrent.
still stable untill now. cheers~

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)

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...

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. biggrin.gif

Hey guys. My housing developer didn't pay for the telephone lines.

I should contact them to install it right?
if it's done, could I get streamyx?

If I'm not mistaken, newer lines are using fibre optics nowadays.
