yesterday went to tmpoint to upgrade 1mbps to 4mbps. the guy at the counter used my phone no. to check the line and said it's supported.
today, a technician came to my house and check the line. he tried capping it to 5M but still could not get the desired speed. said something about still using copper line, need to change to fibre optic. And that is Telekom's prob, not his. Told me he will come again later after the line has been changed.
Not sure how long it will take, i think months??

But seriously, WTF TM?

Hi can any one tell me. For those capped at more than 4M ( eg. 5M or some even 8M ), what is the downstream rate value in the router? Is it still shown as 4M or the value that u r capped at?
And may i know why is mine still downloading at a 1Mbps rate even though it shows 4096 downstream in the router config?

Tmpoint staff said that to me also.

Saw white box outside tiang for a month. Called them to upgrade to unifi, 2mb & 4mb. They check my place only have 1mb. So cant upgrade mayb not yet fix.

Last Fri suddenly technician came to my hse to do the upgrade to 4mb which I have submited online 3months ago.

They will activate today. Check with my sis said the dl speed still same like 1mb.

I'm experiencing the exact same thing. Staff at the counter said ok, technician said need fibre optic. Check the router config, downstream has already changed from 1Mbps to 4Mbps. But still download speed like 1Mbps.

In my case, my router shows the 5280Kbps as the downstream value while 508Kbps for the upstream value.
What package that are you subscribe now? Is that 1Mbps? FYI, TM implement two types of account 'capping', first via the physical capping which is done at the port on your nearest DSLAM... The second capping is done remotely by using your username. Let's say, you're subscribing to 1Mbps package, but your port at the DSLAM are capped to 4096Kbps, but you still get the maximum speed of 1Mbps because your on the TM record, your username are based on the 1Mbps package...

Ooo. I just upgraded from 1Mbps to 4Mbps. So that means the download speed is based on which one is capped lowest. In order to get 4mbps, both need to be capped at least 4mbps or higher. Am i rite? I think the downstream rate shown by the router is the second capping u mentioned done remotely. So mayb the reason why i'm still getting 1mbps is because the dslam is still capped at 1mbps.

"I think the downstream rate shown by the router is the second capping u mentioned done remotely." - No. It's the first or physical capping done at your port on the nearest DSLAM (street cabinet or hosted in exchange)

"So mayb the reason why i'm still getting 1mbps is because the dslam is still capped at 1mbps." - It's not the DSLAM.. But it's the remote capping where TM still not raise your account speed from 1Mbps to 4Mbps...

Btw, have technician come to your house to do other inspection? Usually TM will only raise your account speed after the technician come to your house to do the further testing and he will make sure that your physical line are fully capable and qualified to support 4Mbps. After they confirm that everything is fine, they will call the technical department and ask them to raise your speed. TM will raise your speed between 48 hours from the date and time where the technician come. If you're fortunate, you will get the 4Mbps on-the-spot after the technician leave your house. Make sure you frequently restart your modem in order for the change to take effect...  smile.gif
Thanks for the answers. That clarifies a lot of confusion. Technician just came today. Reason why i couldn't get 4Mbps was just like what u said. TM still haven't raise my speed. Technician said will prob take 2-3 days. Now everything ok.
But sadly from the speed test he ran, it seems max i can get is around 3.5 M. He tried increasing the limit to 5 Mbps but still no difference. Told me the DSLAM which my line is connected to can't support more than 4Mbps coz it's still using copper, not optic. Well, is this true?

Also, i got a new modem. Surprised coz i only upgrade, not applying new. It's the Innacom W3400V. Anyone using this? Any prob? I plan on getting a new Wireless N modem for better wifi coverage coz my house is quite big. Or should i just stick with a wireless G? Will it make any difference from G to N coverage and speed wise?

Basically what can I see is there are three "transaction" done on your account on the same day, which is 25 Nov 2011...

First, you terminate your line, and it seems your jumper is located on the street cabinet (by the green F sign there)..
Then the new installation process are made by TM, and your jumper suddenly change maybe from the fiber cabinet into the direct copper line to the exchange...

Lastly, it seems that there are some problems regarding your port, because the RED X mark available on your jumper status. You better call the mr Desmond and asked him what is the problem for your port... Or maybe they've done some 'mistakes' on the system... because you said that your 4Mbps application are succeed but why the SAMS status shows like that... hmm.gif

The first one is terminated mayb because the first time technician came it didn't work. But weird there is green F sign. Funny thing i also don't know this Desmond guy. The technician that came was Joseph. Also, why would they change from fibre to copper as noted from green F to green tick.
Right now i've just checked on speedtest and it showed 3.5 Mbps. Lol, this is weird.

another thing, once thetechnician came and do the upgrade, do we get 4mbps instantly or need to wait a few days?

Need to wait 2-3 days for TM to activate ur 4Mbps. The technician should have told u this. Guess he forgot huh.

No problem.. the slowest wifi speed (802.11b) has a speed up to 11Mbps, wayyyyy above
your internet speed (4Mbps)... Nowadays, most common wifi speed are 802.11g & 802.11n (54Mbps & 300Mbps respectively).

yea true. but somehow wifi is kinda unstable. depends on what modem, router, receiver u have. using cable i manage to get around stable 450 kBps. with wifi the value always fluctuates, sometimes fast sometimes slow. but speedwise still you can reach 4mbps.
