A few of the defenders here don't understand one thing. We agree with having a fair usage policy.. but not the way TM is doing it. Implement a bandwidth cap, instead of slicing up the bandwidth equally, OR slicing up the bandwidth equally but make sure you are able to handle so many users and we won't be slowed to a measly 20KB/s for a 2 mbps line.

Since yesterday evening (7pm about when the capping gets really bad). My speeds were ok. Got about 180KB/s HTTP download. When it reached about 9pm, it was capped, but much better than usual 100KB/s-110KB/s. And finally, after 11:00pm ( yes, i actually saw it), the speed went back up to 180KB/s again.

Yes.. so I guess I meet their 70% "guarantee" and can't hope for more than that.

Yeah it was supposed to be 80% but weren't there a few ppl in the thread earlier that mentioned now they are saying it is 70%?

Mine seems to be uncapped (still not 80% as some have pointed out) for the past 2 days now... Of course remain vigilant and keep this thread going. Don't let them do a... "temp fix" and screw us again later.

He should be. My cap is back after two days of being uncapped. Speed reduced by > half of usual speed now.

Well considering I've been downloading nothing for the past 2 days.. just doing regular speed tests.. i'd say this.. either it really has to do with the unifi being down OR those dicks at streamyx just uncapped our speed for a while, hoping ppl will forget about it.

The speed will go down again (and be capped). I've tried a few ip ranges and they are all the same.. capped at night (to 50KB/s for me now) to full speed in the morning (180KB/s) on the dot of 7am.

Also, speedtest is now also rigged. When I was getting the capped speeds, I had good speed tests to london even. So, no doubt they "unlocked" those speedtest servers or something.

Is it that hard for them to identify the target of the speedtest.net servers? Is it difficult to just identify which IP the test server is and allow it to go smoothly? Else can you explain the slow capped speeds + fast speedtest.net? speeds?

Do they need to own speedtest to say do something like..

IP 211.xxx.xx.xxx -> allow uncap?

Since I am not getting any answers from them, I am free to speculate. When did TM hire you to be their lawyer??? If you got a problem with what I have said, get them to sue me.

No, you are saying something stupid like (TM needing to own speedtest.net). I have no idea how to answer something like that. I am not an expert in networking stuff, so i can't tell you in the technical way that the other poster did. But common sense should tell you that they can (and are capable) of doing something like that.

What?? It was your MORONIC statement that said tmnet needed to own speedtest.net which made me think "Hey, only really stupid people or TM net supporters can be THAT stupid". Please read back your own posts.

I did not speculate speedtest was rigged. Geez, stop trying to twist my words. No matter, you can decide to read my original posts as you will. I do not think that anybody would even consider the fact that anybody would hint at Speedtest.net being owned by TM. Instead of asking for clarification, you went down the condescending way of saying(yeah I'm imposing my judgment on your reply as well) "1st of all I don't think (think?) "

There is never anything wrong with speedtest.net lol. Despite the constant claims by TM Customer Service that it is always the fault of the place you are trying to access.
