I've encountered a similar problem to your user with international traffic capping for 3 months now (1Mbps package).
a) speedometer - full normal speed of 0.88 Mbps
b) speedtest.net - 25 kB/sec to all international servers (full speed 2am - 11am)
Don't torrent but use Singapore VPN to watch a weekly live video stream which is now unwatchable. I'm assuming this is TM's latest strategy to combat VPN usage.

And when you complain about this they will fob you off with 'Best Effort' / 'FAQ' / 'FUP' / Network Congestion / and if your lucky enough to get a report number a never-ending 'we are still in the midst of investigation by our Technical Department' reply.

QUOTE(wkn @ Nov 25 2010, 03:42 PM) Aizuddin Danian & rizvanrp are to blame for the current mess we are in right now, because they with their holier then thou attitude gave tm the idea of a cap. This has nothing to do with them or their meeting with TM, some users have encountered the cap on international (and even local) bandwidth for many months now. In fact similar caps have existed in one form or another for years now. That you have not encountered this you should consider yourself lucky. You should also read their FAQ regarding "contention ratio" which they will point you to when you complain. CODE
What this means in the 'worst case' is that you could be sharing a 1000 kbps connection with up to 25 other users. So if they were all using Streamyx at the same time 'theoretically' you would only get 40 kbps.
However, 'in reality' this scenario is very unlikely to happen and you should usually find it to be far faster than a dial-up connection.
