Who cares about stupid IPTV. If I wanted to watch all the rerun movies or out of date series, I just download the torrent. 720p to 1080p somemore... HD.. so don't even need Astro Beyond.
Unfortunately, these moves are 4GB each and each series about 300-600MB per episode. And for the house phone. I have it because it is required for Streamyx, but every month I don't even make a single call from the house phone.. Mobile phone for short calls and If wanted to talk long long.. then just use Skype. Again the cap becomes a bummer! |

i read this juz now from thestar but not sure its true or not
CODE Telekom Malaysia has also capped the amount of data that can be downloaded using each of the packages, in an effort to maintain high surfing speeds. The 5Mbps package has a 60GB monthly cap on downloads; the 10Mbps package has a 90GB cap, and the 20Mbps package has a 120GB cap. To compare, a typical two-hour high-definition movie is about 8GB in size. However, some industry pundits have pointed out that the caps are calculated on a daily basis, which restricts the amount of data that can be downloaded each day in a month.

QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Mar 25 2010, 03:50 PM) It's not,some else said it's on another dedicated 8MB line.So,you are getting a 8MB line dedicated for IPTV,and your subcried line for you normal usage.Do we even need IPTV??? That 8 mb is local i thought These people are ubelievably stupid, assuming that IPTV can manage 24/7 non stop broadcasting. Why cant they get rid of that IPTV and give everyone a 8MB unlimited interenet? If not,dont tell me the IPTV also lags when too many people is watching it. Reduce to 1MB. |

QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Mar 25 2010, 01:44 PM) Capped internet has very restrictive nature as you if over use it,you'll suffer the consequences like slow internet or they charge you per MB. I have friends paying over 200AUD per person because they exceed 1GB of their cap. FIrst of all, nobody made them sign up for a 1GB package. They wanted to be penny-wise and pound-foolish, and they earned the rewards. Secondly, according to my calculations, 60GB is almost sixty times higher than 1GB. QUOTE I find it actually promotes you to go out more,than sitting at the computer the whole day as you dont want to waste your bandwidth so that you dont suffer at the end of the month. Not necessarily a bad thing. QUOTE Unless you only check emails using your internet everyday,you bound to have problems with capped internet. I use VoIP and video conferencing all the time, I transfer lots of data, I watch some TV shows online, and I don't come anywhere near 60GB of usage per month. Before making any claims about how crazy or wonderful the cap is, we would need to see TM's actual historical usage data. They are foolish for not providing it. If they can show a chart that says "Of our one million customers, only ten thousand used more than 60GB in one month," then they have solved their PR problem, because it would be easy to paint that 1% as the pirates and porn fiends. Otherwise, we can only guess. However, based on my activities, and those of people I know, I would think that the caps are reasonable for the vast majority of users. Still, I don't like the sound of it. It feels like I am being restricted even if in practice it means nothing to me. But that's not a rational judgment. |

I really think it is dumb of them to set a CAP for the service & the price they charge is crazy! Do they think because they are the only 1 ISP that is providing this service gives them the right to do so... well they can GTH for all i care. I'm not gonna use unifi until they change the policy and reduce the price.
Oi TM, do you think we grow money on trees ar? This post has been edited by celicaizpower: Mar 25 2010, 04:16 PM |

Definitely reasonable if you are using the whole line alone. If i count my monthly usage, i only use 25GB,max with an allowance for one huige Steam game.If not,15GB would be more than enough. Problem occurs when you are sharing the line with people,which is hard to avoid when you are a student. I never like the idea of having a bandwidth monitor that tells me how much i have used. |

So why can't tmnut ? If not enough international bandwidth, they need to upgrade, not make stupid sponsorship deals with alex ferguson's manchester united This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Mar 25 2010, 04:30 PM |
