You're both right. Indeed kinda dumb to give them more money. At this moment, I am having "severe" connection issues. It has been like this for 3 weeks. I am an avid P2P user, an am an esteemed member of a private P2P site. Any other way of downloading from this private site is strictly prohibited and no doubt a ban will be imminent. Even the client version used to download has to be exactly in the list. At this moment only all versions of Deluge works. Sadly, for the past 3 weeks none of the P2P has been downloading. My upload/download ratio has plummeted really badly and a swift ban will be in the future, about 2-3 weeks at this rate. Tried online/direct HTTP methods of downloading but all fails or the service is down.

Besides P2P, for some odd reason, with all the maintenance work going on, I can't quite load Facebook and Hotmail. Twitter works, and other sites too. Hotmail has taken the turn for the worst for me - it wouldn't load, or when loaded, I can't click to open Inbox / Sent items etc.. Facebook - can't even get to the login site. I am super busy at the moment to call up TM Net and report the "issue".

So is this an "issue" with my connection of maintenance work? I live in Kepong and for the past 3 weeks it has been an absolute nightmare. I have always been an avid TM Net user and always supported their upgrading/maintenance works. For the first time, I am thinking of moving to other providers. I'm most comfortable with wired ISP solutions. My cousin moved on to P1 Wimax as is extremely happy about it, never used it before but its wireless.

...oh and thanks to them taking back their bandwidth, the max speed of my 1Mbps is now 120kbps (used to be 170kbps).

My IP range is always 175.xxx.xxx.xx

I might consider upgrading to 4mbps too because this is getting ridiculous, however I might just hold on for at least another 3-6 months before I even take that option in case some changes occur or something better comes along (to the Sabah Kota Kinabalu area).

i'm sabah as well
tuaran area
3-6 month?...waitin for unifi is it?

Nah, I don't think we'll be so lucky to get unifi that soon, maybe 1-2 yrs from now it'll come haha. I guess 3-6 months until I lose all my hair then I'll force myself to change

Btw, I noticed that when I load a youtube video it doesn't load fully, although on the progress bar it shows that it had loaded the whole video. When I play now it only reaches around 40-80% of the complete video (yes I already tried moving the seek bar further, still no go, the vid parts are not there). Anyone else experiencing this annoying thing? I thought it might have been a firefox thing but this only happens for me with youtube. Don't know if it has anything to do with the traffic spikes hanging/timing out the loading of the vid.

Yeah but I meant for my area, I think it'll be a long while away before it becomes available for me, but if it comes sooner that will be nice. Then again I bet by the time I do manage to get it, the download quotas will be in effect
I did notice they've been installing a while, but it's only in select areas.

ya...that't the only downside of unifi is the quota
just upgrade to 4Mbps now
becuz if u upgrade it now...u would know if your line is capable or not
if not capable...after 3-6 month will still be not capable
thn your only choice is unifi

i love my speed so much
any1 got this kind of snail speed with its 1mbps package?

you pay for 1mb and you got 1mb. like that also want to complain? 

you want more speed, then you have to pay more. 

well, not exactly 1mpbs also. i do know 1mbps is their best effort but already pampered by 1.6mbps too long  may be my parents want to switch to unifi

Switching to Unifi... aish... so much of work. Not just a simple "activate my account". I'm thinking of 5Mbps package.
