satisfied with my DL speed, but
this disconnection every 1- 5 minutes is making me rage.
They have to do this every fking night? 10pm - ??am.

im currently facing this issues also..dunno what happen..is it 1mbps package has been capped or what?demit stimix..

the connection seems fine 12am - 2 pm the next day. Start from 3pm - 12 pm onward, the latency are getting high. What happen actually @_@. Whats with this high latency and my area is not in the maintenance list.

you pay for what you get, it's always true,

but then I want to pay more for better speed, the problem is my place dont even have 2mbps

and dont even think about unifi to come


Problem symptons:
-hits more than 1mbps speed at download start, then goes down to 1.0mbps in few seconds
-it still able to hit more than 1.0mbps speed, but not all the time
-users who used to have 1.3mbps or faster before, their dsl line rates still remain the same
-users who used to have 1.3mbps or faster before, when downloading at 1.0mbps(100-120kb/s), latency still maintain at low ping without lag spikes
-users who are always capped at 0.9-1.0mbps, still has their usual speed, but latency high when downloading at 1.0mbps(100-120kb/s), and will never go faster than 1.0mbps


it seems the current "1.0mbps cap" problem, isn't a hard cap, speed limiting at 100-120kb/s but not completely limited, because when you hit at 100-120kb/s your line still able maintain at low pings without lag spikes

if it was hard cap (completely limits you at 1mbps) you wont be able to go more than 1mbps speed, if you hit 100-120kb/s, thats your maximum and you gets high pings


put it simple, if your 1mbps was 1.3mbps or faster than that, the "new 1mbps cap" just like controls you only able to use 1.0mbps speed but still reserve the extra speed 0.3mbps or faster

Since 1Mbps Streamyx is good as dead... what about 2Mbps or 4Mbps package? Are these packages having P2P throttled/blocked completely?

Lol, this might sound like a crazy idea but perhaps they really WANT people to either upgrade their packages or cease to use their services altogether. That way those that are not complaining means they have been using their services fairly or TM does need not to provide further assistance, while those who are suffering are the ones they don't want using their services/want them to upgrade package. If they really are providing "quality" services as they claim, this is definitely not what it should be. I was hoping after the whole cable fixing thing the speed will be back (Facebook, Hotmail, Youtube). On top of all of this, 160kbps is a bye-bye.

File upload sites are now half the speed (max 50kbps). Seriously have no idea how anyone will have faith in them at this point.

tunnel through vpn implies traffic over other ports, you mean the quota calculation is only on port 80? doesn't make sense... then p2p traffic also not counted.

Hm, since saturday I've been having problems reaching international sites and they are getting harder and harder to load, requiring several reloads if I can actually reach them. Also the line has been going up and down again... more crappy unannounced 'maintenance'?

I used to have 220++ KB/s on my 1mbps package
now my dl speed cut in half... 110KB/s and connections to international sites became unstable.

YouTube is kinda slow

Others are okay

Yeah same to mee

Ok I guess I'm being capped now. I'm 1mbps subscriber. When 1st August my Internet connection were so slow due to the what what underwater cable from Asia to US were down and being told will be fix on 8 August. After 8 August, my download speed maximum only can reach 120kbps!!!! Last time 150-180kbps stable stable. Make report and complaint but they said no FUP apply to me and now i check the thread here and confirm they capped me. Who knows I still want the technician to come my house! I want waste their man power!

For 1 Mbps your max speed should be 1024Kbps/8 = 128kBps. I assume you mean you are getting 120kBps not 120kbps. (B= byte, b= bit)

So you have nothing to complain. You were enjoying a bonus of 150-180 kBps before this but a bonus is a bonus, it can be withdrawn anytime.

I guess they are not capping me but reset bak to 1mbps speed. so my current speed is the maximum speed.

So guys just a news for all the Streamyx users. TM is gonna shut down streamyx by 2012 . I was working as a Unifi promoter for sometime and my supervisor, also a Unifi installer tells me that these a**holes are going to shut down the services cause the copper cable in a lot of places are busted and they are too lazy too repair them so they are pushing Unifi like hell. As a fellow Streamyx user i wished to share the truth that i've heard from the mouths of TM subcontractors themselves, which is like coming from TM's own mouth

me also kena capped by screamyx, just upgrade to 2Mbps last week, but until now still stuck at 1Mbps, is it diff for TM to upgrade my line to 2Mbps...i used to get 190-200kBps before this...i dont mind paying extra to get 200kBps speed again...
Unifi not ready until early next year..
Anyone can help in this

Bro, serious? What about other state which still have no Unifi service? Also shut down for nationwide user?

WTH that they think! Did they realize that STREAMYX user are scattered all around Malaysia... not like UNIFI where it is only available for the certain those so called "high-economic impact" territory... Before they want to "shutdown" the Streamyx, make sure you TM, make Unifi available to whole Malaysia!

why you all so gullible to believe that dupe? that guy is giving false news so that he can get more unifi customers.

That is both great news and bad news. The great news is that, it is brilliant to push towards the "future" of internet connectivity that is optical fiber. I am dead sure if they scrap Streamyx, there WILL be even more packages of Unifi that caters from the light users to heavy users.

The downside to this is of course, the coverage as well as the one-time work needed to install the connection. Contract should also be reduced to 1 year.

Anyways, no official word yet but yeah, in many ways Streamyx was once the almighty broadband speed demon (and some still experience this) but the constant upgrading, maintenance and the load of issues are definitely worrying. That is not to say Unifi is all glory.

In a way, TM can "focus" on making Unifi the best possible internet service instead of their constant work on making Streamyx work.
