True, different countries all have bandwidth cap. Unlimited bandwidth was good in the old days since they are the only ISP aside from jaring or times.

aiya, you guys arguing about whether to limit data transfer or to increase bandwidth, when in fact both can be done.

what TM should have done: increase network capacity, and then limit data transfer. we all know it's about time the network capacity be increased what with unifi and all that shit. following the logic that they want to make as much money as possible, then they can cap the data trasnfer at 200GB and upwards, depending on data package. this is what some ISPs in the US are already doing.

win-win for all no? (except us consumers of course)

I signed streamyx during 384kbps and its was given free during initial promotion. That time not everyone has a computer at home.

If compare now.. one house atleast 2 computers 2 mobile phone. My house has 3 computers, 6 smartphones and its only 1mbps (no unifi/4mb/2mb for my housing)

imagine..

capping is one thing but capping on every protocol on the net is ridiculous. HTTP, FTP, etc. what kind of stupid capping is this?

ofcourse but increase capacity it not as easy as 123. You need alot of work.. involve alot of JKR stuff and all.

if both can be ofcourse = VOILA~ but in fact corporate strategy = no way.. we need money for this.. how to generate money?cap the unlimited and get hoggers to contribute..

TM already increase the capacity...or not you also wont get unifi.....just DSL are old technology they feel like its very troublesome

Not arguing, but i very raged and hopeless with tm d..

all this bashing and opinion and all.. in the end it wont even work..

sigh

in the end, we are all on the same boat bro.

agree, just bear with it for now.

You will get a chance to put everything right...... at GE13. Do your part!

if there's any candidate that makes technology improvement as part of his/her platform, i would definitely vote for him/her.

now to find such candidate.

ROFL~ lets just keep within the topic

Unifi 1mbps? Dont have such package la.. You mean 5 mbps rite??

Anyway unifi uses fiber optic instead of sharing the phone line copper wire.. So it should give you a lower ping in online gaming... Should la But we know that tmnut always fakap something..

he said b4 unifi, he was using 1mbps..

its due to your port was far from the exchange.

Same sense, if u take iphone install speedtest.net u run a test infront of your wireless router.. it will be lesser ping.. if far = high ping

my port was station in kelana Jaya near the FAM football field.. according to TM and i am staying in Seapark. for those who dont know its around 5~10km away

Yeah i know but he also said unifi 1mbps.. So i got confused lol. Eh dude you staying in taman mayang emas?

no i staying in Seapark, if u dont know its near Forum 19 food court, if u dunno. hmm how about ss2? rofl..

I think is that there is no competition now in the market for wired ISP. I agree that laying network & increasing bandwidth is expensive but TM has already monopoly the market for so long, the profit should have more than enough to cover the initial investment.

Take for example the mobile phone, before there was competition, the price for monthly fee was very expensive, now with many players in the market, the price is getting more affordable.

Competition is the way to go.

You can compare really,

Those are monopoly thru power or their competitiveness.. that they ARE REAL GOOD in their industry.

But TM was granted monopoly by u know who and how. They are not best but just give the opportunity to monopolize.

Do they really earn money or not.. i dunno.. They can earn alot of money but expenses is high, like MAS case, BIG tummy CEO, Directors and Managers?. Its not a common practise that i earn 10 bucks i need throw 10bucks into the company u know...

sorry guys, while i agree on some points in the discussion, but it's not the purpose of this thread.. please proceed to broadband rant sink..

i hope to see some people post about improvement on their speed/progress from TM or SKMM regarding this international cap issue.. *touch wood*
