QUOTE(Nixdorf @ Aug 23 2011, 10:24 AM) 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 You were enjoying a bonus of 150-180 kBps before this but a bonus is a bonus, it can be withdrawn anytime. |

QUOTE(Nixdorf @ Aug 24 2011, 02:10 PM) It always under my consideration whether to apply for Unifi as gonna tie up with the 2 years contract. Well it is fine for me but if within this 2 years there is no FUP enforce on it then I will apply it immediately. But who knows once I got my Unifi, they start FUP after few month then I can't enjoy the unlimited usage. Which do you prefer - unlimited usage and screaming low speed like Streamyx or a reasonably capped usage and decent speed? I think 60 GB cap is pretty reasonable, heavy downloaders can opt for VIP10 or VIP 20 with higher caps. It's fair that heavy downloaders should pay more or everybody suffers. |

QUOTE(muffdiver @ Aug 25 2011, 10:52 AM) I was desperate enough after the whole "downgrade" to 120kb/s.  I actually contacted a fibre optic backbone provider who could put a line to my home directly and give me a truly unlimited line without any limits for 1Mbps up and down speed. The cost? RM 1,800+ a month. So for the same speed but no worries of throttling or any weird submarine cable snapped issues...can't think if it is worth it for home use. Why is Malaysian bandwidth so expensive?!?!?!  RM1,800.00 a month for 1Mbps? This should make you run screaming back to unifi or even old Streamyx. As for "no weird submarine cable snapped issues" think again. Every ISP share international bandwidth. Unless for RM1800 a month your provider can give you a direct link to U.S. and Europe. |
