My company pay 100+k every month for a dedicated 2Mbps line, (up/down) which is guaranteed 24/7, 365 days a year. We would charge TM for downtime more 4 hrs as per SLA. That's the price to pay for guaranteed speed (not best effort) here in our beloved country


Unfortunately, for Consumer broadband, we have to live with contention ratio. some says it's around 20:1. sharing with others on assumption tat people will not be using the internet at the same. 20:1 ratio means only 5% of what your line capable of 24/7. Ridiculous??? certainly, but that's the fact.

It could well be TM is way overselling their bandwidth.

my 2 cents

yup...leased line
