In actual fact, not imposing dl cap is the backdated/zaman tok kaduk idea. All developed countries, ie. US, UK, Australia, Singapore all have caps on their connections. This is to ensure that the bandwidth is fairly distributed to the customers based on how much they pay for the service. Otherwise you will have a small minority hogging the majority of the bandwidth.

Of course, in Malaysia we do pay alot more compared to overseas, but thats an argument for another time.

Well, I don't want to get into an argument regarding capping and traffic management now. We all want unlimited bandwidth at unlimited speed. However, this would be impossible, especially looking at the network infrastructure we have here in Malaysia.

My point is, no matter what, there will always be people dissatisfied with the service. Even using traffic management, the heavy downloaders will complain because they get throttled at certain times.

I don't like TM. I hate their monopoly on Malaysia's network. But I won't let that bias my judgement of how things can be done, or how it should be done.

We cannot just expect everything to fall into place nicely for us. Even if I give you a 100Mb/s line, I'm sure there will be some people complaining.

And yes, we are worst off than south africa apparently

What ip addresses do you all get? I can't seem to get my ip to change no matter what i do

Just installed my unifi, and my download speed is pathetic. Tried everything, restarting modem..different computers, different speedtests. Still the same. The installers couldn't figure out the problem either and said that it was TM's problem or something like that.

On a positive note, I notice that my torrents pick up speed ALOT faster compared to when I was using streamyx. Although my current speed is the same as my old streamyx lol.

mine is 0.8 now. Wtf, i've never gone above 2.2mb/s since i had my unifi installed, which admittedly, is today

Same here

For me its like this

5pm( unifi finished installing), 2mb dl, 5mb upload
830pm, 1.4mb dl, 5mb upload
1230am, 0.8mb dl, 4mb upload

my old streamyx 1mb was 1.5 mb constant =(

Is this issue caused by too many users and not enough bandwidth? I think i read somewhere that tm is in the process of migrating/upgrading their servers.

What a bad time for me to subscribe if thats the case

Well considering that BIZ20 costs RM899 a month, thats the least he can expect

Look at the speedtest pictures dude, its Mbps. MBps is Megabytes per sec, is the one u need to divide by 8

Btw, finally reached 5mbps. Looks like theres traffic congestion during evening till night - roughly till 3am

i;ve noticed that the trend is evening till night - slow speeds. Around 3am till afternoon = normal max speed.

Either its because of the rise of number of users during peak hours, or tm doesnt have enough bandwidth and thus they hard throttle the speed during peak hours

I seem to be able to get 5Mb/s tonight. Yay?

Me, I'm was getting full speed last night till now. Fingers crossed that it stays that way
