lol... DDLs of mkv is fine for me, but strangely enough surfing when DDLs are on introduces a choking lag to surfing, even after limiting connections allowed to the server... Latency to websites climbs to the thousands when DDL is on...

Started happening around yesterday...

Hmm.. it seems the problem i had earlier about choking latencies when surfing while also DDL mkvs/avis is gone for now...

Fingers crossed... IP 211.xxx.xxx.xxx

Still going strong over here... 400++ kBps and surfing with DDLs on is still good... hope this lasts...

IP 211.xxx.xxx.xxx

This is pretty mad, they're infringing on http transfers now. Where will it end? One after another protocols are being blocked, until the day comes when we can only surf websites and check mail. They might as well revert everyone to 56k dialup as the ultimate prevention method.

So much for Unifi... One step forwards, two steps back.

We really need some net neutrality provisions in this country....

Me thinks that they're conducting this experiment inline with their massive expansion of subscribers that are coming in with the introduction of Unifi and the insane amount of international bandwidth requirements that would come with it....

Imagine this.. all Unifi subscribers watch PPS/torrent at the same time, clogging all international bandwidth that comes into the country, increasing TMs costs tremendously. International bandwidth is a very very expensive commodity and not cheap, as TM is renting the fibre backhaul that is coming into the country, and then reselling it to us as heavily reduced costs...

So i think this is just a preparation step to ensure that when Unifi is fully rolled out, there won't be a massive jam through all international links...

Just my opinion, but you know already how i feel about net neutrality...

Reel em in, give em a false sense of security in what they can do with the bandwidth, and then... wait for it.... THROTTLE EVERYTHING, and by then we (the abused customer) would have no other viable option and be forced to stick with the rest of the contract.. Additional bandwidth gained from this measure is then used to aggressively advertise their services, and hook up more poor unsuspecting fools who don't read LYN and therefore is not privy to the situation who end up in the same ****storm we are in..

And thus the cycle continues...

TL:DR

Advertise ---> People subscribe ----> Time passes, we're comfy ---> THROTTLE ----> Bandwidth freed up used to add more customers ---> Advertise

DDL is not being throttled at the moment for me...

I'm getting RS and MU links at full speed atm.

Thats right, ban that god forsaken PPS software... us DDL users are farked up because of folks like you hogging the line...

*Frustrated Internet user*

Here's some food for thought for all:-

"THEY CAME FIRST for the torrenters,
and i didn't speak up because i wasn't a torrenter

THEN THEY CAME for the PPSers,
and i did not speak up because i didn't PPS

THEN THEY CAME for the Youtubers,
and i did not speak up because i didn't use Youtube

THEN THEY CAME for the Direct Downloaders.
and i did not speak up because i didn't direct download

THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up."

It just goes to show that if you have a method for success for bypassing anything do not publicize it on the forums and brag about it... They are monitoring the thread and closing any holes that you conveniently mentioned....

Just keep it to yourself, or offer it through PM only...

I'm so glad i don't torrent anymore (except for WoW/Steam updates)... DDLs seem to be untouched for now for me....

Goin strong at 440-450 KiBips right now...

Hmm i can access it too Prasys... without any VPN or proxies too....

Perhaps 218.111.x.x IPs are excluded from ban?

Wireless sucks fat hairy you-know-what... Don't do it.... No matter the temptation.. Speeds always start nice, and then they always go down as the ISP fails to provision more bandwidth to cater for the avalanche of users who potong for the next best thing...

As a result.. ppl complain slow and they all jump back to Stimyx... which makes them cackle with glee and happiness... Until and unless they can provision their own backbones.. all ISPs are beholden to TM Wholesale for their pipes... just like in Aussie where Telstra Wholesale hold's every other ISP by the balls...

For all the flak TM gets, they are the best of the worst of the ISPs in this country...

What we need is a high speed fibre implementation to the home that is not monopolised by one company and is government funded (just like the NBN in Australia) and later on bid by open tender to all the interested ISPs in this country.. so that Jaring and Maxis can join in the land grab..

Then, we'll see prices drop and services improve as each ISP competes for subscribers....

@rainbow6

That's pretty swell... my own home 4Mb connection only nets me about 1.52 GB every hour... but coming from a sub 1 Mb connection previously, this is a nice upgrade for me...

Your office net must be capped at 5MB....

@phantomkid

Agreed... Either MU or Hotfile's the way to go now..

Just burning through the last of my Rapidpoints in my old RS premium account before i close it or something...

440 - 450 KBps steady all day long babeh!

Full speed ahead!!!! =)

Been a good 3 days now...

@Hudd

always been getting 218.x.x.x ip, like I've mentioned before in this thread... without fail....

dead ip problems seem to be solved for me now...

Fufufufu..... DDLs at full speed right now....

RS/MU/HF prem at 440-450kBps...... for MKV/AVI/and RMs... and RARs...

CHU-CHU!!!! CHU-CHU!!!!!

"Full speed ahead... Aye Aye Cap'n!!!"

"Rides the 450kBps train to "Linux ISOs"...."

"Waves at the TM conductor... good ride, my good man!!"
