YouTube connections to US has been Unthrottle.
Torrents has been Unthrottled.
flv, avi & all other movies file extension has been Unthrottle.

Please confirm?

Are they doing some upgrade that cause them to remove their throttled system?, Finally decided to come to their sense and stop cheating their streamyx customers? or just gave up on streamyx to "what ever will be will be"...



Un-popular Youtube Video (not cached in youtube MY yet), before throttle at 50KB/s(500kbps in youtube stats calculation) but now:








.flv file (before throttle at 20-30KB/s):




.avi file (before throttle at 20-30KB/s):




p2p torrent: (before throttle at 20-30KB/s)

No, restart your modem/router, and all of that will be gone. It is known bug.

Are you sure, can you help to test?
Because my streamyx line has not be OFF for more then a month here and i just notice this stated today around 6am++ it's really behaving like the speed of my UniFi now

Any other streamys user reading this i would appreciate if you can help to test also.

so it is true then,

hm yes, i also using streamyx, they unthrottle everything.
i using 1mb streamyx and my torrent sometimes about 120kbps~

its not normal 2 years ago where my torrent is around 40~50kbps

just off and on back ur modem to test it..

Well then i think i need to monitor for 1 week to be sure. because it may be many reason why it's working as i stated in my first post:

A) TM doing some upgrade that cause them to remove their throttled system.
B) TM finally decided to come to their sense and stop cheating their streamyx customers.
C) TM just gave up on streamyx to "what ever will be will be"...
D) TM might be doing a survey to test stuff.
E) Maybe they decided to put some happy hours or happy days in a week.

Risky

unthrottled? nvr throttle for me AFAIK

Yes I'm sure, I noticed this few months ago. Rebooted modem/router and there goes the "unthrottle".

But i did not restart my modem for over a few weeks now and it was not like this until today 6am, I have checked with few of my friends who use streamyx and they too have notice the change in their speed.. how do you explain that?

Because they did not restart their router/modem?

I noticed this like a month ago...my download was 120kbs all the way..
direct download, torrent, youtube...all smooth..^^
maybe everybody switch to unifi, streamyx slot is getting better i guess...

No they off at night or when they are out of they house and they also notice the speed change today.

I did not check torrent for a month already so maybe they have unthrottled it a long time ago but youtube i am 100% sure only today morning it was unthrottled..

strange. since upgrading the 4mb packages my torrent doesnt get throttle.manage to get 450kB/s but depend of seeder. FYI i use utorrent + port forward only..

I m experiencing the same thing, unthrottled. But in my case is like, i turn off my modem every night, a morning 2 days ago, i turn on my router and i suddenly feel like trying torrent download and the speed is magically max (used to be throttled). It lasted for 2 days, this morning it goes back to throttled state again I have tried the same seed that hit the max speed yesterday evening and it seems like throttled now.

Are you sure? Mine is still the same as yesterday....
Try to use uTorrent 3.1.3 and download ubuntu desktop torrent http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads

the answer will be A

because this isn't the first time they temporary lift the throttle system

they maybe doing an upgrade or maintenance and need to lift the throttle


I bet this only lasts for 1-2weeks, you maybe still having the unthrottle connection after they start throttle back, until you restarted/reconnect ur connection

so far as I know since I became 4Mbps user, they lift the throttle got 3 times already, each time only last like 1-3 weeks

yes is depend on seed yesterday i use bitcomet download movie can get full speed until hit 5m ( i use 4m)

unfortunately, when throttled, even you got good or very well seeded torrent also difficult to hit maximum speed,

as for 1m u will very difficult hit higher than 25kB/s , for 4m average 30-40kB/s

unless you connected to a single or 2 or few seeder/peer by chance those have very high upload speed

then you can hit maximum speed, but only from 1-3 seeders, other connected seed/peer only 0-1kB/s to you


if the streamyx is unthrottled, even the torrent only has okay number of seeder and peer, you can very easily hit maximum speed in just a minute

and you will see usually have 10-30 seeds and peers connected each seed/peer upload at least 10kB/s to you

so you always get a good or max speed even with just "Okay" seeded torrent.


examples:




Obviously, you can see the big difference at the peer list, the leech speed

When TM lifts the p2p throttle, without VPN, you get the same result as the VPN Enabled

Nowadays is torrent or use direct download?

use BITCOMET!!! no VPN or anything... just try bitcomet..
