Or I could keep it private with specially compiled builds for friends and never have to think about updating it again I don't need the bypass anyway, I mainly did it to help some LYN users and to give TM a giant f*** you to the face (because I can ).

Anyway, this kind of HTTP throttling is pretty bad and based on the method they're using it's pretty much an invasion of privacy. Up till now, TM has only implemented website blocks based on DNS blackholes which can be bypassed easily by switching your DNS server. HTTP request filtering on the other hand will be much more difficult to bypass. We're heading down the path of countries with filtered/monitored Internet access. They say that it's being done to 'conserve' bandwidth but lets be honest here.. P2P uses less resources than streaming or direct HTTP downloads. Bandwidth usage is distributed (albeit not equally) among international networks instead of just saturating the links to a single country.

I fear that instead of being used to simply control bandwidth consumption (which basically what all the TM supporters here are saying), this technology can also easily be utilized to spy on subscribers or for abused political reasons (GLC blocking dissenting voices?). You won't b**** about it now because you have your 'VPNs', but I assure you that very few companies use OpenVPN as opposed to Cisco/PPTP/IPsec based solutions. It's pretty obvious that the OpenVPN protocol is only used by private home users to bypass traffic restrictions.. and I assure you (once again!), they have the technology to cap the protocol at any given time.

I have always assumed that TM would never throttle HTTP traffic as it's one of the most widely used protocols on the Internet. Now that they are doing it, most of you don't care because you still have your 'uber sekrit' bypass methods but when they eventually put an air tight lid on all your traffic and means to bypass it.. it'll be too late for you to make any noise. I'm a Unifi user myself and I'm not affected by this at the moment but I know that any policy which TM implements on any of their home packages will eventually catch up with me.

I've already started to work on the technology to properly obfuscate OpenVPN traffic but in all honesty, why the heck is this even required? No one has had to do this before because there's no sh*ttier ISP in the world than TM.

Make more noise sheeple

Why is everyone blaming p2p users? I've said it once and I'll say it again, DDL and streaming use more bandwidth than P2P technology. Your router slowing down isn't the effect of 'p2p sucking all your bandwidth' but due to the amount of connections that P2P software make. Not to mention the saturation of your uplink (which you would not use fully otherwise) for network efficiency. You don't see TM capping upload speed do you? :/

But we have routers that are fast enough to keep up with the p2p protocols nowadays and many of them have switched to UDP. ISP routers are leagues ahead in terms of load handling when compared to your home routers. Why do you think TM caps Youtube? TM releases one press release simply stating that P2P uses all the bandwidth and you guys suck it as though they're telling the truth without doing any research. Next they'll say accessing non-TM webmail accounts slows down their entire network and you people will just believe them and start bashing gmail/hotmail users.

I remember reading in the newspapers that 'Youtube is slow because the servers are far away'. Nearly choked on my drink when I read that.

Bloody ridiculous >_>

hehe... complaining here is an outlet for most folks I guess..

If really wanna do something impactful... everyone commit to do something together... not petition but something drastic like...

Unsubscribing to Streamyx.

Imagine if you can rally 100,000 people to stop subscribing to streamyx. That would really hurt their business. That's if you can even get 100,000 people...

oh btw, A LOT of websites are getting slow loading time and missing data packets. (pages not loading properly).

this is not fair la...how come unifi user can download full speed...plus their speed already like super high & streamyx user who is already having slow speed & now cannot download torrent somemore.....wth la...

Every year seems to be the same.

Either these idiots never learn even after many years of making the same mistake or they enjoy waking up to do upgrades only when festive season approaches.

It couldn't be that bad when festive season somehow the network gets so overloaded. Even so they should have expected that after years of the same reoccuring problem.

Or they are just plain stupid to choose such times to do upgrades.

It's like choosing the peak traffic jam hours to repair a road instead of in the early hours in the morning when there's no car at all.

I want to ask, is there any place or do we have any catch that we can complain this to a government portal like CFM?

Do we have any legal terms to win TM in this?

Ask Namawee to do a song dissin the TM Screamyx.

They should not touch something which is not broken.

Introducing P2P shaping servers will cripple their network further. It's a just a marketing gimmick which bottlenecks their network making them lose more customers.

its not blocked completely, its been throttled.. then again it depends on ur bittorrent client. some have slightly higher dl rate and some are completely no dl at all.

all i know mkv, avi,zip, rar files are slightly throttled (daytime 1/2 dl rate). any other file extension are throttled no exceptions unless the tmnut firewall broke down.

Premium User can re-connect or if free user using FireFox also can re-connect. Don't ask me how

Perform a traceroute to trace the issue

Yeah they are blocking tracerts from the Windows tracert.exe
Unix tracerts not affected.
