The current Bandwidth "throttling" tactic has to be one of the most "indegenious" idea coming out from TM Streamyx.
It's both naive & stupid at the same time, because they selectively throttle your bandwidth - meaning that u might be okay streaming videos from youtube, but you are in deep trouble trying to download anything from hotfile
You will not notice any difference until u want to get files off international servers, that's when u realize that your line has just been capped from downloading without any prior-notice from 10am in the morning until 2am the next morning.
I'm not going to wake up at 2am just to download a file, Streamyx should ensure guaranteed minimum bandwidth rate for me & not controlling how am I going to do with my provided bandwidth (Mind u though, this will cost TM Streamy a lot of money to upgrade their current system & I don't see that happening in the near future)
Ok dupe listen up, TM is doing a "cap" not throttling exercise. They test it in their little "imaginary" testing place and it turned out that its was an imaginary and made up "success" so they've decided to roll it out and test it on the sh*tmyx victims. Turns on their little "imaginary" testing turn out to be wrong and everyone got rape in the butt because the cap system is not "performing as expected", i.e. It's capping everyone with low speeds and not uncapping them, FOREVER... or until 1-3AM.
So now, they're planning to "temporarily" turn it off about Friday or Saturday (this week) and rape us the butt some other time, I suspect next month or sooner so get ready ok?

actually in accordance to another topic here. it might be file based throtle.
using speedtest might show it perfectly fine but downloading mp4 for my case is a no no.
Nope, its capped based on whatever the F*** TM is sniffing at the office. In other words, the cap is based on.... NOTHING. It's just a cap exercise that FAILED miserably, wasting potentially millions of ringgit which could be spend on buying international bandwidth, but noooooo, let's splurge it on useless tests that could save us pennies now and nill in the future.
