Yeap Compare the 1mbps package i am using now which is RM88 thts like a double+ of the price.
Yet yet major concern is can it be smooth?
Most of us worried abt the CAP but seems we havn have concern on how "CONSISTENT" the connection will be?
Well i am from seri kembangan lol my area need like Q4 of this year only available smile.gif

You know, someone actually got fired for using caps in their office correspondence.

To me getting pissed off about caps is silly, but it's generally understood when people are capsing they are giving off a bad attitude doh.gif

Lol,i dont really use caps.

Hey all, new here.  rclxms.gif

Before I start, I am not here to point fingers at anyone cause I think all of us are guilty of some parts of what I say below at some point. This is my general opinion so please don't get all worked up over it.  icon_rolleyes.gif

I really cannot understand what you guys are complaining about. This CAP structure is being used in other places too. I worked in Sydney for close to 4 years. I had an Optus (Singtel jv) 20Mbps link which I had for as long as I lived there. I always had full speed and probably only 2 outages in 4 years. Guess what the CAP was 20GB peak and 40GB off peak.

I worked a lot from home using VPN to various sites. I always found the time to game and did so quite a bit over the weekends. I also downloaded quite a bit of stuff every month on my media centre rig. With the exception of 2 months I never hit the CAP otherwise.

As bad as TM is I am happy for this new launch. Sure the prices could be better (who wants to pay high prices for anything) but I think the CAP is not such a big issue as most of you here are complaining about.

Lets admit it you can't be expecting to download the entire Internet into your local desktop. For every one you there is 10 casual users out there who wont hit the CAP (if they do I stand corrected). We are meant to share the bandwidth not hog it. One of the reasons Streamyx is slow is because of all the P2P hogging out there. You can't set of 10 BT downloads and go out with your GF while some poor bugger in a different part of town is trying to download a 1MB file from Windows update. How is that fair? Sure TM should probably get more International bandwidth but the likelihood of that happening is small at least not anytime soon. In the meantime we should learn to be fair to fellow users.

Honestly think about it for a second, there is 2 many users hogging the line which affects everyone else. I have a Streamyx 4Mbps and at most times its run fine but on weekends during peak hours it can get really slow. Now I wonder why??

On a side note while we ponder about this CAP issue, I am sure there are plenty of applications for Unifi already. Do not underestimate people's need for more Internet, most people just going to close one eye and ignore the CAP.

Im currently in Sydney and i find the implementation of cap internet has always been nothing,but a nuisance,as i always need to share with people. It is because it's way too small,and,one thing to note,i rarely torrent or p2p. I can say i solely use the internet for gaming and study related stuff. I used a lot of Steam and buy games frequently from it. A typical AAA game would take like 5GB on average and can go up to 15GB. What will happen on next few years as games get larger and larger, 60GB isnt sufficient. The Australian ISP will never bother changing it.Lets hope the Australian Broadband Upgrade will yield better ,more reasonable and fairer internet packages for people.

I agree with the fair usage policy,but the cap is way too low. I know an American ISP that also have capped internet,they lowest cap was like 200GB and thats what i call decent. 60GB for RM149 is ridiculous,also for such a high speed internet.

Besides, TM Nut's implementation of capped internet is 2GB a day,once you exceed it,it's capped for the rest of the day. Thats even ridiculous.

60GB is enough for a person,but what happens it's shared and someone frequently abuse it? Hang that fella? Thats when the cap internet become a problem. I expect it to happen a lot among Malaysians too,especially those torrent kings.

Just something to share with you guys. I have an adsl line in bangkok and when i 1st subscribed it it's 1mb/512 line for 650thb (~65RM). That was 9 months ago... through this period.. the ISP upgraded the speed of my line 3 times. I'm now getting a 4mb line and still paying 650thb a month.

comparing to the price what streamyx or unifi is offering... *no comment*.....

60GB download bandwidth capping per month or daily ? if per month, forget it. anyway, RM149 is still expensive for a malaysian pocket

You can't compare with the United States. Bandwidth in the US is much cheaper than in Asia and Australia. Also, most downloads in the US are local. In Asia we rely on the AAG and several other links which connect Asia to the rest of the world. The capacity of these links are limited, and until more are developed, the price of bandwidth will remain relatively high.

who posted comment on fesbook?

i pay big bucks and enjoy the unstable high latency non concurrent connection to lag the sh!t outta me?

while fellow users can be fair to each other, when will TMNut will be fair to us as users.

in short, everything is fast.... locally...

everything u mentioned above is useless... becoz it will be same laggy sh!t connecting to international servers
*
I beg to differ on that. Sure sometimes it can be slow but not all the time. I game online, most recently I play COD2 and C&C4 beta. I did not experience any lag. I support several customer sites in Sydney and normally use VPN and RDP, I never had a problem with lag.

The international bottleneck is not limited to TM only. My office is trialing a leased line by a different provider who happens to use a different peering partner than TM. Access to sites in the region is superfast but when you start accessing sites in Europe its slow, US not too bad.

Btw I dont work for TM, infact I got a bone to pick with them about one of the links my company ordered but they still have not delivered on yet. I registered today to take part in this thread thats all.

hi evo, quite long time didnt see u liao...

actually if the throttled speed is around what u said, where 10M would have around 2-4M, i think it's still gonna be ok...but i just scared that they will just throttle everyone that exceed limit to 512kbps..
*
yea, seldom roaming around here lol.. yes, rm149 with iptv is still ok with me.. but still, if the throttle the connection to limit torrent, rs, etc, then seriously it would be no point to have a HSBB.. i would still subscribe the connection if the limit is more than 1mbps..

QUOTE(khd229 @ Mar 25 2010, 12:36 PM)
Really? Just subscribe to 4mbps at RM160. You enjoy that speed all month.

You have some really good points, dude! Some people really need to understand the main purpose of this CAP, can't be too selfish right?

But one thing for sure, can they lower down the price, for both streamyx and unifi? Is quite expensive if we compare in terms of our national GDP per capita...

And those people who pay 249 for the 20mb will have to keep paying that price even if they do drop for new customers. This has happened before ..... vmad.gif
