papers said iptv uses 8mb line. so if all subscribers on the tv 8hrs a day, will this affect bandwidth?
if it doesnt affect, it means TM has enough bandwidth to go around.
then just offer packages without the iptv, without caps, since the infrastructure can cope!!

coz TIME limited for certain area

with this new fibre infastructure the local bandwidth is VERY cheap. what is the bottleneck is the international gateways

While I do not have the data on that, but I do not believe cost structure in KL city is 10-30 times more expensive than anyone else.

You got my point.. Thanks staff and elite to highlight this matter..
Cap is necessary to ensure go connectivity all day long..
Juz bcoz of heavy downloader we juz have 10% left..
I don't want ended like streamyx..
Btw I am not agree with the current 60gb cap..
Should be more..

At what expense? They don't even have enough bandwidth for current Streamyx users already.

Good news guys ~~~



Source from STAR

Lol 10% that's 512k for 5mbps users, 1mbps for 10mbps and 2mbps for 20mbps users.

You've got your HSBB downgraded automatically to Streamyx.

Misleading news. They will limit your speed if you continue to download above your download limit for more than 1 month. Later this forum will be flooded by complaints from noobs about how TM conned them.

Calvin Tan YOU UNGRATEFUL AND IDIOTIC MALAYSIANS! DO YOU THINK MAXIS, P1 AND DIGI IS SO GOOD? THEY HAVE THEIR CAPPING FOR FAIR USAGE TOO. COME ON, TIME FOR YOU ALL TO GROW UP. ONLY KNOW HOW TO JOIN THOSE SHIT BRAINS TO COMPLAIN. U ALL WANT CHEAP BUT DON'T WANT TO PAY. YOU GUYS BETTER BE YOUR OWN ISP! TYPICAL 3RD WORLD MENTALITY!!!
================
THIS IS TM WORKER!

I totally agree with you.

The people who wants the cap to be lifted should go back and think about your selfishness. The cap suspension will increase bandwidth consumption. More bandwidth consumption, the higher the price. The higher the price, the more brats coming here to complain expensive.

For your information, 60GB is MORE THAN SUFFICIENT. No one asked you to surf youtube. No one asked you to download songs. No one asked you to download movies.

i'm ok with monthly cap... but i'm not ok with daily cap.

Good without all that, why should I need a 5mbps line?

Hurm. For normal usage like surfing perhaps? LOL

Anyway, they said the capping is for browsing/loading data from international, but for local data, they didn't cap. I'm not sure bout this though.

The main advantage for 5mbs line is not only the download speed is huge, but the upload speed is huge too!! FYI, the Unifi package didn't capped for upload activity, u can upload as much as u want. Its good for a personal/business who need to deal with international people, where they can upload the data needed as big as they want at a high speed.

Why would you need 5mbps for surfing wepages only?
That's the most redundant post I've seen all day.

All that is needed is 512kbps with PROPER routing to international sites, and you can surf any sites without a single hitch.

Surfing .txt files? There's so many flash ads and flash streaming video ads nowadays. Get a b/w meter and you'll see it maxing out when you load most pages.

Even if upload is not capped, uploading using TCP consumes downlink bandwidth as overhead. Uploading at 5mbps would use about 40KB/s of download speed.

The local data thing is just a rumour anyway, nothing is confirmed by them.

Besides, a lot of people will be getting these packages to share between multiple users. The fact that they're giving out a wireless-N router with the packages confirms they're aware of this fact. 60GB is barely enough for 1-2 people but definitely not more than that.

Double the caps and all is good, seriously.

Ok here are some problems on capping. Who will answer?

- How much bandwidth does IPTV takes if yo use it 24/7 the whole month? More or less than 60GB? If less, how about IPTV being in HD which requires more data to be transferred?

- Don't forget there are a lot of software updates almost weekly for windows and the plethora of softwares installed on our system. These add up.

- Emails with attachment. How many MB per mail daily?

- Gaming? Not just gaming alone. The patches, the add-ons, the chat that goes behind the games. Don't they add up bandwidth? What if you have a console game machine besides a PC hooked on too?

- Notebooks and mobile wi-fi devices?

- For 1 person it is hard to max out the 60GB limit. But if you have 2 computers with just these few things being done daily 60GB is definitely not enough. For RM149 for 5MB is high. But if you share for 2 computers it is just nice as it is like paying RM77 each with 2.5mbps speed. But even then 30GB per pc cap!! Yes still better than P1 20GB cap. But damn modern PC is all bandwidth brother!! Whats the use of getting high speed when the speed ends in a blink? Its a blardy freaking carnival ride!
