No wonder my download speed seems slow.

i grabbed a new ip, i think they have uncapped us now, probably stage by stage?
was 20kbs from hotfile b4 that, now 150kbs, 1mb line

Even after completion? I noticed the speedometer shows a high speed first then drops later.

yes, even after completion. the speed stays high throughout the initial test. but when I do the restart speed test it shows the capped speed. funny.

"Fair Usage means that all our paying customers means they should be treated fairly. Heavy users tend to hog the network at the expense of the non-heavy users. The challenge is how we can implement this best we can and so that it is truly fair for the customer."

Define fair usage. Do you give rebates for light users? ie. subscribers who generally use their broadband for emails, Facebook, MSN, etc? When subscribers use less of your bandwidth, you kept quiet. When subscribers use more, you resort to capping. This certainly does not sound FAIR to me.

Why advertise with big word "UNLIMITED" when you can't tolerate heavy users? When i buy an unlimited tickets to an amusement park, i expect to be able to take as many round of rides as i like. If the queue gets too long due to people like me, well either you limit the numbers of people entering the park or simply build more rides! If the queue gets too long just because the operator wanted to make more profits by selling more tickets, knowing that the park has overstretched its capacity, then the operator should be blamed for their unscrupulous way of doing business. not the customers. Similarly, When i pay 80 bucks for a buffet dinner, i expect to be allowed to eat to my heart's content. You have no rights to stop me from eating more just because i have eaten more than RM80 worth of food. That is the risk you have to take.

For being a TM Streamyx Customer!

this is wat im getting at 10.53pm

Yeah.... malaysian ADSL internet no longer Unlimited....so if limited, why should i get streamyx, better i subscibe mobile broadband.... at least mobile is an advantage...

There wasn't any loss.
When I first started complaining around early September, I experienced the same 300kbps cap during the day and by midnight my speed would automatically be reset back to around 3500kbps.

It's confirmed that these system was already implemented since then(~end of August)

mine is d 2mb package...if d speed is bloody damn slow like this, no point of subscribing to this package anymore...better downgrade to 384kb package..

Wth? 1mbps gets 1.6mbps!

People advance forward we go backward.
Australia, Thailand, South Africa were all far behind us during early 2000.

But look at them now. How much they have overtaken us today.

Local only what to about

Ping Cyberjaya also tak lepas

(but i still have no clue what 'capped' is..i only experience super slow download this few days.)

Same here 1.5Mbps capped to 512K (local) and 0.15Mbps (international) at end of August, told need to upgrade to 1MB Blockbuster deal. After upgrade still capped to 512kbps(sometimes 296kbps) for local connection and international speed still the same. After 2 months and numerous complaints local speed "upgraded" to 880kbps and international speed back to "normal". After one week international speed capped back to 0.20/0.25Mbps as it is now. Now even things appear to be getting worse, various sites timing out and slow web surfing.

The local STIMX isp really stupid and they only think we use internet to surf local website only.

They think we surf streamyx site only!! idiot
