Simple equation

UniFi for those with moola , the rest of you (which includes me) who is on a cheap housing area.Just wait to be rolled for the masses. They know that those VIPs and those who can afford it would surely jump to TM's UniFi package.

riv said it already , you dont have to worry much on your part. The router has a non volatile memory area the ROM and NVRAM as well , basically its going to revert back to its factory settings when you do a hard reset. Heck even PDA does this , and a lot of other gadgets. For TM to change things , they would have to program it in a new firmware - I doubt they are going to do this . So basically you're good to go.

Dont worry Moogle , well just like the iDevices , there will be always a loophole. Its just matter of having the right person to discover it and sharing it with the rest of the people.

Eventually people will give in and just register. You dont have much of a choice anyway. Once its avaliable in my area , I would gladly jump the ship. You know why , its because of the symmetrical speed. 10Mbps both ways is amazing. You could host your own mini server and run your own site. I am running my own site currently but then streamyx' upload is not the greatest.

@Moogle Stiltzkin - You should run phpSysInfo , something like what I do
http://prasys.homeunix.org/phpsysinfo/. Anyway I gotta get up and running, my very own small blog about server and the ability to access my Intranet from the world outside. Gotta secure up first

Glad I managed to find your issue with the server. I guess now your server should handle it well nevertheless

@Moogle Stiltzkin

You just need a bit more tweaking , you may wanna limit the number of concurrent connections which can be made to your server per IP. What this does is that it prevents those idiotic download managers like Xunlei to do 50-100 connections to your server thus sucking your bandwidth. You can limit 1 person to like 2 concurrent connections. Prevents them from using your bandwidth too much

I would do that as well , setup a local p2p system , if local bandwidth is not counted towards cap which means that if somebody downloads something bam the rest of the folks can seed it and download it. Thats all , we can pool data this way just like how they are doing it in Japan and in Korea. Most of us do have a NAS or some sort of home server or 24/7 workstation on which means that its possible in many ways. The good thing about is that we can enjoy high speeds , bad thing is that it may put those uTorrent webUI guys out of business

Daily cap is crazy , monthly cap is good enough already

At least they dont count local traffic , which is good - as riz pointed out. You can still hit high speeds provided the other party is willing to host 24/7. Honestly I am thinking of moving to UniFi cause of the upload speed , its amazing as you could host your own small scale server.

This translates to if one streamyx or unifi guy downloads something , seed it and the rest can distribute it locally. Thus reducing the demand for foreign seed/peers. Its like how folks in Korea and japan do it. Win-win situation in both ways. You and I get faster download speeds and TM should able to offer speedier access to foreign web sites

Soon it will mark the death of MU/RS for UniFi users.

Well its not clear , after you've hit the cap. Everything gets thorttled or not. If international traffic then I dont mind , if it includes local then folks are dead big time. TM has to be clear on that

5Mbps you'll be getting around 400-500 Kilobytes/sec

For 10Mbps you'll be getting around 800Kilobytes to 1.1Megabyte/sec

In other words you could be a server and host games for say 8-16 players without lag. It can go up to 32 , but then you may need 20Mbps

Clearly you dont get it. Like I've said , I am willing to take UniFi even with caps provided if these users dont report much of a problem. If TM keeps their promise with good bandwidth , I dont mind joining our local p2p unifi community. If it starts to be unlimited again , its going to be streamyx V2 , that makes no difference at all. I am just monitoring this thread for performance , well as more users join in and I want to see what happens.

Unlimited browsing != Unmetered bandwidth or unlimited bandwidth

Just google for why there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth.


Well I want UniFi without their crappy IPTV offerings , that would be nice. Even with the cap , I dont mind. The upload is a big plus though. Again even with whatever bandwidth that they put , i am happy. The p2p community is going to be a big "social network". 60GB ? No problem , just put a list who want what , the rest share and distribute bandwidth

For instance if Moon has 20GB of bandwidth left and I have 1GB of bandwidth left , I may ask moon to download an anime for me , seed it locally so that I can grab it. Once the bandwidth resets , I owe him bandwidth , so I'll download what he wants share it out. Get it ? You can build our own local p2p sharing network.

Yes , yes and yes

The moment you get yourself connected , it will be counted. Online gaming does not take that much , maybe patches , but apart from that you should be good to go. If the servers are in Malaysia , it will not be counted towards your bandwidth quota

For those who play on STEAM , updates from STEAM's Malaysia server will not be counted towards your quota.

It applies to both , once you're capped thats it

But its about time we should manage our bandwidth , now the question is can TM deliver. If they can deliver, I dont mind putting up with bandwidth quotas and such.
