weird...why i so cham one. since 3 days ago, this throttling thingy had been happening non-stop for me...really non-stop. no matter how i change my ip from 175.xxxx to 115.xxx (the ip range i normally get for the past 6 months), still slow poke speed while t.o.r.r.e.n.t.i.n.g.

Wonder if this has anything to do with the laying of unifi cable outside my house a few days ago. Noticed my pole behind my house installed that unifi box thingy liao. u guys think thats y my speed affected? stuck at 20-30k/sec. taman megah area btw.

same story for me ler bro. me at taman megah. 24/7 less than 20k...zzzzz...wheres my happy hour>

what about torrent?? any luck for u?? mine 24/7 less than 20k and yeah, ddl on megaupload still works to some extend for me. just not all the time. sometimes, can max out to 190k, sumtimes just 40k.

i dunno what kind of business u running or what kind of parking lot u got around ur place, but the area where i work, the parking lot will put out a sign "CARPARK FULL" at the entrance when all the space is taken up. And that should be how u run a business, not luring people inside ur parking lot with empty promises of a parking space. If not enuf space to cater, stop admitting customer. If u are customer, u go into such parking lot, go round n round, no fuking empty lot, u mad or not?? next time still go to tat parking lot?? same case tm, if not enuf bandwidth to support the demand, might as well stop taking customer. Dun go embark on their media campaign, with all their big advertising board beside the highway with tagline like "No.1 [B]choice[ of malaysians" when we dun really get to do much choosing in the first place. i LOLed when i saw all these boards.

pay per use, pay monthly, same thing nia, think monthly carpark pass. u got 100 carpark lot. if demand is so great that that all ur lot is taken, will ur still print more than 100 pass?? what will the 101st or 119th pass owner get?? ask the no. 88th pass holder to only park from 9am to 1pm, then let 101st park after 1pm?? or to ask all 120 user to park their car so closely that they can't even get our of their car?? (which in a way, both feel a bit like throttling).

My point is, if u want to make money, at least be honest about it. There are other ways to increase ur $$$ without resorting to lies or playing with the ignorance of prospective customers. when u got X amount of bandwidth which can onie support Y amount of demand, dun lar go accept business order of 10Y thinking that not all 10Y customer will demand their product at same time. But when that moment do happen, giving the customers just a portion of what they advertise. The thing about all these streamyx package, although its good they are cutting the price of package, but, in essence, they are just luring more customers to share what that 10Y is sharing in the first place.

I mean, if they are to provide good quality services, no throttling, stable connection, gives what they advertise etc, i bet a lot of user will not be as pissed. Sadly, that was not to be.

which goes to the root of the problem, lack of competition. and the reason why after 10year of being a streamyx subscriber, i am still using 1mb and did not follow the the masses and upgrade to 2mb or 4mb. not worth it. like realcyma say, if the real speed we r gonna get is 512k after throttle no point paying so much extra. and to those naysayers that said p2p , pps should be banned, illegal blah blah blah, why the hell we need 4mb or hsbb just for surfing facebook n stuff pening kepala. The other day i saw this uncle at tmpoint try to subscribe to 4mb package just so he can check email at home.....

still shit speed 24/7 for me for on B.T, damansara area 1mb line

175 definitely kena throttled. but i got some luck with 115 ip, sometimes can still get max with u.t.orrent.

i guess its a matter of what area u are in. for my area (taman megah aka KJ/damansara) ip for 1mb is normally 175, 115 or in some rare cases 118.
i can say when i get 175 ip, i get shitass speed, less than 30k n if lucky 40k (shitass speed coz i normally gets 180k max) when DLing torrent with lots of seeders. when that happens, i try to off modem, till i get 115 ip, n miraculously can DL max liao. However, this onie works by way of swicthing off the modem to get new ip. i tried entering the router page n reconnect, although can get new ip, but won't get same effect. maybe its just me, but now, working for me.

now thats what i call positive thinking
