You work for O&G company in Bintulu?

Only MNC could afford such leased lines.

It's time TM upgrade Streamyx 4mbps users to 5mbps for free since people are already paying RM140 for it without IPTV subscription, minus the high cost of equipment costs of FTTH and subsidization.

Users of Streamyx 4mbps are paying RM140 compared to Unifi RM149 for so much less. Are we subsidizing for other people?

So why lurk in the dark and make this 5mbps port upgrade unofficial available only to some people?
Act professional-lah TM.

How can a company claims itself to be professional when their subscontractors work in such way?

It's sad that we allow such things to take place while on the other hand claim that we intend to achieve a high income economy.

That's if you're thinking of bonding a few 4mbps line.

If you're in Thailand, how about bonding a few 12mbps or 16mbps line together?
Or even Singapore where you bond multiple 100mbps lines together?

http://www.3bb.co.th/product/adsl/select.php

A 12mbps ADSL2+ line over there cost the same as Unifi VIP5 over here.
RM149/month.

RM300 could get you a 24mbps steady line.

Ask MX510, he's into this sort of downloads via torrent flux and VPN. He'll tell you upload won't really matter much.
Bond 2 or even 3 of such line and you get a 2mbps upload speed for your parallel uploads.

They really went and screw the whole thing up with the recent site restriction and throttling.

This could probably be the reason why we're seeing outages and issues almost every year and they often happen almost the same time.
It's because they're trying to install something within their network and make subscribers as test subjects.

All the issues is like self made when it could have been left alone as it is.

Youtube videos are slow like snail the whole day. Bandwidth meter shows it never pass 50kB/s but once VPN applied, exceed 100kB/s easily.

Downloads are really slow for the past few days.

Can't even hit 100kB/s on a 4mbps for days already from file hosting sites even though they're accessible...

What is your line attenuation reading?

If <40dB then it's not your line fault but they have not lift the 2mbps limit on your line at your new place yet. Those TM technicians will put you on 2mbps first to make you call their technicians to your place to increase it. Cari makan ma.

It's done on purpose so that you're forced to call them to your premise and they charge you "installation charges" once again.
There's no DIY allowed for 4mbps Streamyx as well as 2mbps.

So was your real intention is to use your 4mbps account previously registered at Subang at your Taiping home which was registered with a 2mbps line.

Answer is no. Your Taiping line has been physically capped at 2mbps so you might be able to login with your 4mbps account but speed will never exceed 2mbps because of the physical line limitations.

For that I can't answer you until I see the modem's interface screen at your Subang home. You're probably getting 2mbps at ur Subang home similar to the same reason I'm currently getting 1mbps with my 4mbps line now or your account profile got locked with the slower line you logged in earlier with 2mbps in Taiping.

The correct statement would be just add RM9 and toughen yourself to sign a 24months contract which gives them all the authority to cap you by volume is a more correct statement.

I wished Unifi had coverage in Ipoh but I'm already very happy with my 4mbps now. For this I'm willing to wait for a little longer unless someone comes along and offer me something significantly higher speed which is over 10mbps to make the jump.

I've never bothered to ask more the last time the installer came after he told me to contact him for upgrade the next few days to make sure my line was stable with the 4096kbps physical line cap.

Waste of my time to chase them and risk my line getting f##ked up.

Be contented with a 4mbps you get in Malaysia because my friends in Taiwan, US and UK are also subscribing to the cheapest packages around this speed (Taiwan has 3mbps/384k and most recently upgraded to 4mbps/786k 光纖 FTTC VDSL2). They tell me it's because they spend most of their time outside home working so a stable consistent line is all they need with minimum monthly charges.

How much they pay? No more than $25 with freebies given.

At what we're paying with RM140 it's considered way overpriced and now they are looking at ways to save more bandwidth further.

I don't under stand why Thailand can still offer cheaper internet than us when they are less submarine cables compared to Malaysia. Not that they don't have heavy downloaders, they have more drama fans than us with a much bigger population.

So where did our bandwidth went?

After the upgrade it just got even worst.

Now my 4mbps port in Pasir Putih(Ipoh South) area is only getting 175.142.xx.xx IP ranges most of the time.

This IP range is so lousy that it's only good for streaming Youtube. Other than that downloads and links to US/China always crawling.

The 208/218 ip ranges have been taken away since 2 weeks ago.Once in a while only getting 175.145.x.x

This 175.142.x.x IP ranges is the lousiest. No one wants it elsewhere so they are dumping this to Perak people who they think are stupid not to know the difference after the re-routing works upgrade.

This is called bandwidth cost saving maintenance/auditing. Nothing to do with any upgrades.
Ironically it always happens every year right throughout the whole Ramadhan month for some obvious reason. Anyone care to share why?

Various reasons:
1) During Ramadhan they expect internet traffic to surge?
2) They expect Streamyx subscriptions to increase considerably before Raya?
3) They did it on purpose to discourage web surfing for mind purification. Many will take the opportunity to curi tulang surfing Facebook while complaining work load is high when you have to go without food the whole day.
4) They want to reduce work load so that they do less network monitoring
5) They want to prevent people from posting/viewing seditious sites on the internet
6) Since they are not able to spend time on the internet, they want everyone as a whole to observe the restrictions as well
7) Deep sea sharks are more active during this month
8) Not touching the internet means less work for all.

Can someone tell me why we're seeing extremely throttled speeds even during the day when it's expected to be faster? At night from peak hours 8pm-12am the speed slows down to crawl until it's hardly usable even for web surfing.

Over here in Ipoh we're still in the 2Mbps sub-era back in this dead town!

Thanks to the absence of a extensive fibre network it's preventing all over us here from getting anything over 5mbps unless you can lease a metro ethernet line.

The average speed Ipoh is getting based on Netindex?
1.56Mbps.

Even towns like Kota Bharu, Bukit Mertajam, Rawang, Kulim beat us to it.

http://www.netindex.com/download/2,26/Malaysia/

Average speeds in Ipoh by ISPs:

Jaring - 4.38Mbps
TMnet - 2.11Mbps
Maxis - 1.81Mbps
P1 - 1.25Mbps
TM ADSL(Streamyx) - 0.97Mbps!!! <--This is what most Ipoh Streamyx users are getting.

Bijan and Muhyiddin came to this dead town for what a few weeks back?
Just to have a bus ride and dine?
CSL came to Little India on Deepavali for what?

Dude, my line has a 39.8-40.1dB attenuation and I've no problem using my 4mbps line.No sudden dropouts whatsoever. There are more who are using 4mbps even with much higher attenuation lv.

To qualify you just need to have an attenuation of <40dB.

I don't see why you can't get 4mbps since you're already on ADSL2+ modulation unless the DSLAM in your area is underfed.

Your line is already capped at 4096 512.

If you pinjam someone's else Unifi login and use it on your modem you might see something interesting.

Hinet Announcement Wall

http://www.hinet.net/pu/notify.htm

There will be a scheduled maintenance work for APCN2 Submarine Cable between 13/11/2011 - 21/11/2011.

Connections between Europe, Japan and South Korea will be affected during this period of time.

Also the TPE(Trans-Pacific Express) will undergo scheduled maintenance
between 14/11/2011 - 28/11/2011. It might not have anything to do with Malaysia since TPE serves the North East Asian countries mostly but most traffic will be relayed and might increase load on alternative Asia-Pacific routes. *This is one of Asia's oldest and largest capacity route across the Pacific at 5Tbps**

Zyxel supposed to be good brand wor. Top brand in Taiwan for VDSL2 installs.

Maybe TM China DSLAMs are not very compatible with Zyxel products.

Riger ah?

No wonder TM keep supplying crap brands to users.

Got lots of local brand fans around.

When are we going to get the good stuffs from Linksys, Huawei/ZTE(higher end DSL gateways), DLink or Thompson(now Technicolor)?
