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
depends on how slow it is
for me...it is worthed to go for 4Mbps
last time my 1Mbps also slow on web browsing...download also slow
something like megaupload also 20-30KBPS only
thn i apply upgraded to 4Mbps
at 1st, they upgraded the modulation to ADSL_2plus and upgraded the speed to 2Mbps only...to test the line if it's capable
even with only a minor speed upgrade...the web browsing everything became faster, megaupload suddenly can get full speed
so it's not the speed upgrade..for me, it's the modulation upgrade and the upload speed upgrade that changes everything
at last he upgraded to 4Mbps after successful test
so yes, it's worthed to upgrade to 4Mbps because of the modulation changes
until today when my uncle ask me to fix his com at his hse(he is using 1Mbps)
i can actually feel his speed on web browsing is very different than mine....some web i click and directly open, his connection need to load sometime to open the same page(we live quiet nearby BTW)
his download is exactly same like my previous 1Mbps....i tried download something from "file hosting website" on his com, crawling 40-50KBPS
when i download the same file from the same website at my com, can go full speed to 400+KBPS
