if you notice the page title (on the tab or titlebar) ...

1) First load of the page is somehow locked to a certain number (forgotten if it is IP or session ID, or something else). Speedtest is almost as per package speed.

2) Once 1st run of speedtest finish, RERUN again. it will slow down tremendously and does not show the "full speed" from the 1st run.

3) REFRESH the speedtest ™ page, and you'll get another number on the tab/titlebar. Speedtest returns to "normal".
the cycle continues.
p/s: If you are on-hold while talking to the Customer Service, he/she mention that they are "monitoring" our speedtest testing.

I have a feeling that TM's speedtest is RIGGED to give you FALSE connection speed and ROUTED/TAPPED for their monitoring. vmad.gif  mad.gif

On a few occasions with their speedometer, especially on the upload test, it is showing nearly 500kbps upload, but when I check the network monitor widget, there is NOTHING HAPPENING AT ALL on upload.

But the speedometer is moving as if it's actually testing.

Download will also show a fantastic speed, but the network monitor widget shows an unstable speed which is below that the speedometer is showing.

I would like to think that it is a bug, but you can never be sure with these people.... and how many people would like to bet that TM would say the widget is faulty, right? Reminds me of what happened with Maxis and the iPhone data counter... wink.gif

I wonder why this story has not been picked up by the press?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK when they lay such cables they lay more capacity than what is needed at the present time?

Future planning, reason being it costs more time and money to lay cables a few times vs. doing it once.

The thing that bugs me most is how this whole capping method makes no sense. I don't mind a FUP but this is just weird.

Correct me if I am wrong, the way they are capping now is not based on bandwidth or anything. It is based on number of users accessing the network (I think this was mentioned earlier?) .. So their system "divides the bandwidth" equally among the users (I am ok with this also..) BUT.. if your users are getting freaking 20KB/s download for their 2mbps line "constantly" then they can't very well classify it as 70% isn't it?

Also, I don't know where the 70% suddenly came from. Just a couple of days ago a CS AND a tech guy told me it was 80% ... but oh well.. liars gonna lie.

Their CS has insisted to me before that it is 70%. This despite MCMC guidelines in BLACK AND WHITE (at that time, I'm not sure now) stating that it is 90%.
