WHAT HAPPENED TO STREAMYX. ITS SO LAG!!!!!!!!!!!

@Hornet

That's a very interesting observation you've obtained there..

Perhaps we can "cheat" the system by using speed limiting software on our side to just go under the the arbitrary limit they impose before they cut off the connection?

I will test your hypothesis further then repost...

EDIT:- OMG Hornet you may be onto something here.. i just artificially limited my own DDLs to about 410kBps (max line cap is at 438kBps).. and the download is now stable.. and not fluctuating erratically...

Some food for thought there...

EDIT 2 :- I've ascertained that the max limit for me before Streamyx starts to cut connections for DDLs (aka hammering the line) is at 420kBps... the moment it goes above that line the connection drops...

same here, happens after 5pm

Reporting from Miri, POWER EXTREME slowdown!!

seems like sarawak having issue...hmmm...

damn slow line now

lag

Guys.. to beat the TCP congestion algorithm you just need to artifically limit your downloads to slightly lower than you total line speed as i've outlined in my post above..

E.g. if your max speed is normally 438 kBps for a 4 Mbps Streamyx line, just drop your speed in your download manager to about 410 kBps as the upper limit...

Problem solved, at least as far as i've noticed... Slightly lower top speeds are better than insanely spiking speeds and dropped connections

Reporting from Sibu, international connection speed slows down drastically.

I tested with IP 175.X.X.X, speed around 10KB/s
Now having IP 118.X.X.X, speed around 40KB/s

(Using P1 speedtest)

Thanks man for sharing what you've found.

I'll try that out and see what happens. The connection drop is really annoying.



BTW, seems like the line is lag right now even though I'm not downloading anything. There's lots ping timeout to yahoo.com

Feels like the submarine cable just putus.

Tonight the line drop so badly, unstable speed

there are 3 fellow LYN members chatting in game, ranting about HIGH latency that suddenly hit some MMO they are playing...

it felt like the 'fish food' cable was getting bitten by sharks again...

reporting from klang. both my 4mbps streamyx felt so slow & not responsive especially facebook.

I seem to have been spared what most of you are facing re: the slowdowns... but then again i'm just DDLing from RS right now...

Pretty good speeds @ 400+ kBps stable....

Reporting from TTDI...

WTF , my swtor and wow both went from 200 ms to 5000 ms !!!


Freaking tmnet , probably fishes and sharks biting off their freaking undersea cables again ,
They should be more creative with their excuses , or perhaps they are just put on all the butter and fish cream on their cable so the fishes can bite them off .




When something smells, its usually TM NET. so TRUE

yah me too, 4mb at ampang, facebook cannot login

ya ya my WoW oso, 1000+ms on home, 6000+ms on world... shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

4mbps. websites from US pretty slow.

Ahh it's so comforting to know that they are always exactly on schedule when it comes to frustrating people and bringing down the internet. Come 6am *BLAM NO INTERNETZ FOR YOU*. The connection is very unstable/freq disconnections. I wonder what the excuse is this time if they even bother announcing it.

now still very slow
