When I first got this IP, I could not connect to most websites. But later it seemd ok.

Could you please see if you can access news.tm.net.my with this IP range?

Which section? How come you can get that IP? I only can get 115.

we live in a corrupt country...accept that...

Wasn't my intention to sound like that. Just want you guys to know that many country's ISPs around us are also practicing throttling.

All your slowdown here is actually cause by irresponsible users downloading many things from those file sharing sites or bittorrent etc.

I already give a very good example up there, 100000 users 1Mbps is 100Gpbs, if that number of users multiply by 10, even having a dedicated fiber line that runs from MY to US will not help. Unless u have multiple fiber lines like Korea or Japan.

Monopoly or not, even if u get in many other ISPs, it still wont work. P1Wimax is not using TM's backbone, and you see how bad their network is, how much FUP they are putting.

Whether you see it or not, those downloaders are sucking a lot of bandwidth for their movies or porn or wtv they are downloading, i wouldnt know.

Solution: Arrest and charge all illegal content downloaders. I'm very sure  u'll have clear broadband days ahead

If they are indeed throttling because the international lines can't handle it, then why the bloody hell do they keep advertising faster and faster connections??

1Mbps, 2Mbps, all this super fast connections that they advertise, and then they say "Oh, our international lines can't handle it so we'll give you less than 1Mbps for your 2Mbps line. And for you 1Mbps subcribers, we'll give you less than 512Kbps".

They used to throttle youtube and the like as well. People only started reporting increased youtube speeds like, 3 weeks ago?

We don't mind if they throttle, but at least be HONEST about it. They've been doing it for years, throttling everyone's connection to everything, but they always say that they don't. At least with P1Wimax's FUP they're honest about when they're gonna throttle.

And Andrew, gathering and charging internet users for downloading 'illegal' content is very very very ambiguous. They'd need to get individual distributors' permissions to pursue said charges. And what's worse, not every 'illegal' content actually has a licensed distributor in Malaysia.

And then things will get messy, like "what products are illegal?". Is downloading shows that are not distributed in Malaysia illegal? Is the download of pornography illegal?

What about legal distribution softwares like Steam and Direct2Drive? They use LOADS of bandwidth when people buy and download whole games using it. Like me, I just bought and downloaded Portal on Steam. The game was almost 4 Gigs. I'm thinking of buying Empire: Total War on Steam too. That game is 8 Gigs.

Are they going to be illegal because of the amount of bandwidth they use? And Youtube uses a lot of bandwidth too. Shall Youtube be made illegal too? Some legal game publishers actually use torrents and download sites to distribute their software. Will those be illegal too?

PS: Since when was the Wikipedia page on Streamyx this short? It used to be at least twice the length. The page is now damn minimalistic, and makes no mention of public opinion on the service, nor does it mention specifics o exactly how "...Malaysian internet infrastructure have been identified as not meeting the current standards..."

Convenient that all references are basically advertising the service...

This is one of the smelliest BS you'll read from time to time.
The solution is to sell by bandwidth, not speed. Why are ISPs selling unlimited packages like Streamyx's?
Because DAMN, 90% of subscribers will not use even their expected alloted bandwidth.

ISPs like TM is just plain dishonest. They throttle heavy users, do they refund lighter users? Do they roll-over unused bandwidth?
The new Unifi packages are the same BS. Will the average user consume 60 GB of data per month? No. Not even a quarter. Yet that's the entry level package. The idea is simple, most users won't really use their alloted bandwidth, so we'll pretend that we have that much bandwidth, knowing that it won't be consumed.
When it is, we start throttling. You have this very equal deal over there.

I once called the CS about a persistent and recurring latency issue that was since resolved. [b]The CSR passed me to his manager. The manager said "You're on 1M, of course you'll lag when playing online games. Consider upgrading to 2M?"[b/]
You gotta be f'king kidding me.

i wonder what line my college using...
