When you think about it.. 4 Megs actually gives you more downloads for your buck because its uncapped always..

Compared to 5 Meg 60 GB allowance.. it's pretty much an oxymoronic decision by TM to cap Unifi....

1TB+ compared to 60 GB monthly allowance?

The best choice is still 4 Megs Streamyx lol....

So I think that price difference/parity is justified...

@AjkR06

Oh yes. Most definitely. Do it.

@Wolf516

Your line stats are good, people just got confused because of the scale used to measure your line stats...

Your attenuation for Downstream is actually 8.5 not 85... the scale used in the chart is 0.1 db lol.. so its 85 x 0.1 = 8.5db which is VERY GOOD!!!

Hell with your excellent DS and US SNR, 22.4 and 15.5 respectively, your 4 Meg connection should fly after 24 hours of the technician inspecting your line...

They WOULD not provision you with a 4 Meg service if your DS attenuation is more than 30 db lol.....

Your current speedtest is just indicative of the fact that you have just been port capped at 4 Meg, but your account cap is still at 1 Meg, which gives the 1.56 Meg result using speedtest..

Take it easy bro.. its all good to me...

@Zepx

If DS SNR was less than 20db, then yes, it is a cause for alarm... but in the technician's sheet for provisioning, they only look at the DS SNR and not the US SNR, so the US SNR can be much lower than the DS SNR and they can still provision the 4 Meg service...

TL:DR; DS SNR>20 = sufficient for 4 Mbps service

@Wolf516

Glad to have put your fears to rest! Enjoy your new found speeds! XD

I know I have!!!! XD

@kos.zealous

Line stats look good, go for it...

Minimum torrent speed depends on the seeders in the swarm...

@newmel

If you have JUST upgraded it, and have JUST received a visit from the TM technician to 'activate' your account for 4 Meg, you have to wait another 24 hours before the new speeds will kick in to your account...

Hopefully your patience will pay off...

@Leone Di Cielo

All those filehosters aren't throttled for their premium versions AFAIK..

Been getting steady 440-450 kBps speeds from them no problem...

Yep, pretty much. Best BW is going to Unifi atm.

Premium HF and MU is worth it... Once a year payment and all you can eat after that.... no worries about throttling anytime... none of that trouble you get if you BT

I'm not sure myself.. but ever since this throttling debacle started, I haven't noticed any speed drops on my side at all for any file format from any provider using premium...

Call 100, ask to be directed to ATS and hammer ATS to recap you back to 4 Megs..

Worked for me the 1st time...

Fufufufu....

That's why i love Filehosters.....

450 kBps all the wayyyy babyyyyyy

@arshad

What, in the process of getting 4 Mb? It should not be down at all. You should just have to reset your modem after 24 hours of the technician coming to inspect your line.

@Turnip

Yes I am sure.

Using JDownloader for all the filehosters i have premium with (RS, MU and HF)

Always getting 444 kBps consistently... for ALL file types...

@cscheat

ATS = Advanced Technical Support aka the 4Meg department...

@rajulkabir

No packet loss on my side, but when i saturate my 4Meg connection with a download, my pings to any other websites like google or even the gateway will spike up to the hundreds, even thousands

For example, one test i did minutes ago:-

C:\Windows\System32>ping www.google.com

Pinging www.l.google.com [72.14.254.104] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 72.14.254.104: bytes=32 time=1892ms TTL=56
Reply from 72.14.254.104: bytes=32 time=1755ms TTL=56
Reply from 72.14.254.104: bytes=32 time=1308ms TTL=56
Reply from 72.14.254.104: bytes=32 time=1159ms TTL=56

Ping statistics for 72.14.254.104:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 1159ms, Maximum = 1892ms, Average = 1528ms

Modem stats same as ever.. its as if i'm on Satellite Internet with that latency.. WOOHOO!!!

@PenzoilGuy

Yes you can. They will send you another TM approved D-Link 2640B but you can still use your own.

Use your own. Or better still use their modem in bridge mode, get your own router that supports DD-WRT or Tomato firmware and tweak to your hearts content...

Heh.. biz packages can't be applied if you don't have proper business premises LOL..

Don't waste your time...

@MX510

Keep calling and harassing them politely... don't ever give up.

If need be, go knocking on the TMPoint where you made the upgrade...

Got results for me...
