Ask him what is TM's stance on Net Neutrality? Because as far as I've seen, they do not support it at all.

BTW about bandwidth caps, imposing bandwidth caps or at least low ones like 100GB is just not done anymore even in Bandwidth Cap Happy Australia.

Comcast limit is 250GB
Australia limit is 1TB. Cost RM360 though.

Added on November 9, 2010, 1:58 am A supporter of non net neutrality. You actually want TM to throttle all download protocol while letting your own favorite protocols run free. Seriously the second protocol/file type they throttled was FLV (used in streaming). The first was p2p. When they play games like this, they aren't doing any of us favours. The gaming guy will blame those who enjoy streaming and vice versa.

You better ask TM to ask game companies to locate a server in Malaysia or at least in Singapore.

I think many people don't understand Net Neutrality but they understand throttling which is basically the same thing.

First TM throttled P2P.
Later TM throttled FLV (youtube and other streaming).
Then TM throttled Rapidshare.com to death.
After that TM throttled avi, MKV and other video file downloads.

All this TM did covertly with no announcements, leaving customers to wonder if it's their internet connection that is screwed up. TM thinks it's within their right to do so to solve their congestion problem. Frankly I see it as cheating/scamming the customer because we didn't sign up for broadband only to have certain protocols, file types and website accesses throttled to a crawl. I also think TM know what they did is wrong otherwise they won't have done this CRIME COVERTLY.

This is what Net Neutrality is about. The net shouldn't be throttled to favour only certain protocols, services and websites that can be accessed so TM should stop doing this shit.

As for Bandwidth caps, I'm very much against low caps below 100GB.

Refer to ISPs should pay no mind to the cap http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1144637

I care more for Quality of Service over paying less for shit from TM and that's what we are getting from them too.

Ya. Headache like hell. Streamyx 2mbps and 4mbps price all cacat already.

1TB cost RM360 in Australia. Thhus TM can offer a 500GB monthly limit for RM180.

Added on November 9, 2010, 12:45 pm We want them to remove the throttling, not list it out to justify implementation.

Just because they have no official limit doesn't mean there is none.

Seriously have you heard of any ISP that throttles youtube? None. Only TM and they do it covertly to boot. A real f-ed up ISP.

Try e-mail help@tm.net.my. Also See below.

Yes, currently TM does block certain websites most are porn. This is a minor problem but it is a major problem if you consider the MSC “Bill of Guarantees” to not censor the internet.

The biggest problem is Net Neutrality which even the US government through FCC is having trouble try to enforce due to lack of laws to ensure data on the internet is not prioritized or throttled. However they do not consider it to be a too big a problem any more because even Comcast has stopped throttling Bittorrent.

The same cannot be said of Malaysia. In fact in Malaysia it has expanded from just throttling Bittorrent and other P2P protocols to multimedia file types like FLV (really slows down streaming), avi, mkv and others.

Then there was the rapidshare crap they did which didn't censor the site but at 5KBps download. It was effectively censoring the web service.

Let's face it. TM doesn't give a shit about Net Neutrality. They are too busy trying to find ways to offer less services at the same price.

I have to tell you this. This whole IPTV thing is not all good for us. You see there's talk of throttling bandwidth to competing video streaming websites like youtube to encourage sign up on the ISP's own IPTV services. This is what is starting to happen in USA and Australia. It may have already happened here as TM has throttled video streaming and downloads over streamyx.

P2p throttle is one thing but this one throttle youtube, throttle downloads. WTF?!!!

Because it screams bandwidth hogger to ISPs. TM however has gone above and beyond just P2P throttling to throttling direct downloads and streaming too. TM really Boleh. Fracking company.

Now they blame streaming and downloads so they throttle it. What a bunch of fags.

Just eat. We all know what we think they shouldn't do which is scamming customers with throttle and etc, they will continue to do anyway.

They should just set it at 250GB like comcast, finish. 250GB is enough for almost everyone.

The truth is international link data charges drop every year but strangely every year TM provides less and less service for the same money.

This is what they say but so far they have been doing the opposite.

Cap wasn't needed because at 1mbps you can't use a lot of data easily, at most around 150-200GB. However with Unifi at 5mbps and higher, it becomes too easy to use up to 1TB. Frankly for 1TB it should really cost only as much as it cost in Australia which is RM360. Here however RM250 gets you only 120GB which is a freaking rip off. At the very least the cap for RM250 should be 500GB.
