I started complaining about this hard throttling implementation since September!

Read this post of mine:

90%

is it possible that this "fair proportion of users, that don't visit Lowyat" are the low bandwidth users... those that don't hog the net playing online games and leaving their PC's running 24/7 downloading movies, music and files? so these ppl who do email, surf the net for news, do online banking transactions, the occasional youtube clip etc would never have noticed this drastic hard capping which is to say that this 90% are the low bandwidth users who are made to pay for the abuses of the 10% who are hoggers abusing the FUP? 

interesting observation... there may be a grain of truth in it though.

Latest news:

"Btw, pleased to report the team has been hard at work and we are completely changing the parameters and optimizing international bandwidth tonight. We have analyzed the profiles of the complaints and have confirmed that the majority are heavy users. Of course our real concern is the pact to non heavy users and business customers. Hence we will still maintain some form of traffic management.

BUT it's important for them to know that there is an order of priority for business users and high end packages specifically.

We will report back officially tonight but hope you an relay the message that there should be substantial improvement past midnight."

Let's see if things improve later on tonight. Keep the speedtests coming fellas. I want to see this before i believe it.

Did you all get disconnected and re-connected before you started seeing the faster speeds?

guys, you all never read what i write one ah?

the cap is still there. but its much more relaxed now.

i suspect during periods of peak usage, say 12 noon tomorrow, things will slow down a bit again.

but according to tm it wont be as bad as the last three weeks.

well, at least until undersea cable gets cut again, or there is a tsunami/storm some where.

The only two persons who have been of help in this whole capping farce has been Reuben, for bringing it to our notice and starting this thread as well as Tentris who has been giving out information else we would all have been without a clue.

102 GBs DDLed since the cap was relaxed...

Line still going at full speed ahead..... 440 kBps to Major Filehosters...

Just a bit more to go...

TM Defender? I've smacked TMNUT when they deserved it, and also praised them when they deserved it. Just telling it like how it is...

Far from it, my good man, far from it...

If it wasn't for 'heavy' users like me, we would still be stuck in the 56 kbps Dialup era.. We heavies are the drivers of the increased speeds and capacities, don't you ever forget that.

No Demand = No improvements for speed/bandwidth requirements = Stagnation = No progress

Also..... Getting the speed that you pay for and using it = Right of the customer...

Now before you say that the price does not justify the capacity i use, i'll be the 1st to agree to a higher priced tier for heavy users like me...

Both light and heavies have their place in the broadband industry.... Now if TM fails to deliver because of their lack of pipes.. well.. why blame the heavies? We all paid for it, no one gets a free lunch, and what has TM done with the hundreds of millions of Ringgit that it has accrued from us since they began? Did they spend it on widening the international pipes sufficiently? What they did instead was to hastily introduce a fiber network that just adds to the burden of the limited international bandwidth they already have... thus compounding the problem....

My action for giving TM nut a bad name like "TMCB Nut" is really correct.

You think I haven't do? Go read my previous posts. In this few weeks, I called them almost every nights. Even their technicians came to my house for a few times already. At the end, did the problem solve?

They are the one that should have karma. They deserve every bad karmas.

If you don't know the truth, go f*** yourself, STFU and GTFO, you are not welcomed in this thread, go and start your own thread for defending TM.

1. 2 months to resolve.
2. visit 4 times.
3. localized problem

This here is a nation-wide issue.

What makes you think nobody here tried calling, genius? You do realize the system fail don't you? It's rotten inside and outside. Have you gotten used to the smell?

Why is the guy replying like a robot a spy hired by tm ?????

Here we go again, with the all too familiar tired tactic of labelling all heavies as illegal movie downloaders..

Perhaps you haven't heard of a thing called Steam, and LEGAL game downloads (which weigh many GBs) that you pay for? How about episodes of TV Shows in HD that i can purchase from Itunes? How about Youtube in 720p and 1080p HD? How about multiple GB game updates from games like WoW, which last i heard required almost 10+ GB for the Cataclysm expansion update?

Your ignorance is astounding. Perhaps we should all be using our broadband for e-mail and surfing websites only as you imply.

someone who using 1mb screamyx
pls do a speedtest on xiamen china server
i would like to know am i the only person who failed to test out that server?
btw loading to china websites was awful

hmm maybe TM rigged your result to make it look good whilst my crappy speed to Xiamen is actually the real speed.
