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

This post has been edited by squall0833: Oct 22 2012, 08:54 PM

Same. Even with VPN won't get full speed
Max 30kbs only
Last month. I always full speed 400kbs+++
This month teruk
Nowadays is torrent or use direct download?

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

I got my 4mb line since last month 27th .

So nearly a month. I got no issue in downloading torrent.

Most of the time got 450kbps speed.

Direct download no problem.

Using utorrent here.

DNS =openDNS.

IP range 218.111.X

Tak pakai vpn

Just use open dns can solve this problem? Just wondering

No, it's all luck.

tried Bitcomet without VPN

and with LTS enabled

same.. and even worse than utorrent single digit or no speed at all

did u open port and got green light???
edit: and register for free bitcomet ID?

This post has been edited by izzat80: Oct 24 2012, 06:54 PM

yeah i can see my streamyx 1 Mbps already lift torrent speed throttle...

Which area are you staying at? and what IP range do you get?

Which area are you staying at? and what IP range do you get?

yeap, port opened and login with my long time created id,


was a bitcomet user few years ago



btw it's only good for china/taiwan/hk trackers


for western countries tracker not good, utorrent is better

by the way, TM in my location is doing upgrades, got their calls at office and workplace (512k and 1Mbps), say we may face service interruption during this time, and really got random dsl disconnection today

but my home 4Mbps not affected, I bet the throttle is lifted because of this upgrade exercise



This post has been edited by squall0833: Oct 24 2012, 07:34 PM

If they are doing upgrades in a certain area that still does not explain the lift of throttle system in many states like JB, penang and KL all have been unthrottled...

This post has been edited by Jeremy_John: Oct 24 2012, 07:44 PM

btw

I did not test the connection at the workplace so dont know if it is throttled


but I can tell you that you said you are currently unthrottled

but I'm still throttled, now have to use VPN to get max speed

so throttling can be certain area, not really nationwide

and I was unthrottled last month for about 3 weeks

This post has been edited by squall0833: Oct 24 2012, 07:56 PM

check your workplace torrents and Inteenational conenctioon speed with the ip range you get there.
it might be on certain accounts, areas, specific IPs or IP ranges....

Added on October 24, 2012, 10:16 pmAfter i posted my above post then around 8:30+ throttle started back on my line with the same IP i have been having for weeks... torrent, international youtube vids & direct download for video extension files were throttle to back 50kb/s so i finally decided to restart my modem then:

First new IP (after restart) was unthrottled for 20sec then it went back to being throttle.
Second IP (after using modem reconnect feature) same as the first IP
Third IP (should be fourth IP [censored due to TM spyies ] ) so far unthrottle for now.


I'm guessing it might be a maintenance for throttle system after all
or.... one of the moderators here might be working for TM and decided to just add my ip back to the throttle list (but now i'm on socks proxy)

haha same i just found out the speed suddenly maxxed in explosion

I use google dns. - no improvement
I use opendns - no improvement
My torrent still slow
I use bitcomet. Not moving at all
All green light. Still same
So bad luck

4Mbps here

same as usual, throttled

same as u

all green light, well port forwarded
utorrent,
speed not quite ok, but at least can up to 80kB/s, average 20 kB/s

bitcomet, with LTS Enabled
worse than utorrent, not moving at all


but with VPN Enabled,
speeds came back instantly...

utorrent - hits max in less than a min.

this has already proven, Streamyx p2p throttling being lifted happens randomly and temporary, and not really nationwide.
still VPN always works for bypassing this

This post has been edited by squall0833: Oct 29 2012, 02:22 AM

just wondering which VPN u using....can get max speed?

Last night Nov 04

P2P Throttle lifted ?

with VPN disabled, tried many different torrent with very well seed and low seeds, no matter what torrent I'm try to download, as long as the torrent has ok seed and peer, the speed hit max in less than 30sec, and all the time constantly max until the torrent completed.


not sure if it's just bugged or they really lifted, I don't really want to lost this IP address yet,

will report back after i got disconnected or restarted modem with different IP address

This post has been edited by squall0833: Nov 5 2012, 02:31 AM

Same problem here
Xunlei VIP - max can get 80kbps
Direct download max also 155kpbs
Using 4mb Streamyx too
Can't get full speed lately too
Using google dns
Not sure what is the problem. Change modem also same problem.
Last month everything was good. Full speed 400kpbs++
For xun lei or direct download

Simply try to download a file via http from a known US, Europe and Asian server outside Malaysia.

It seems that they are at it again throttling international connections to something close to 1-2mbps now even Unifi connections affected too.

TM is at it again this time trying to implement some throttling mechanism deep inside their core network servers.

Everytime they attempt to do this without public knowldge it always ends up this way.

I don't understand why they keep buying anti P2P, DPI or load balancing solutiions from those vendors when they always end up crippling their network instead. Buy something that is supposed to help save them more bandwidth end up making customers more angry.

That means we can't do anything?

everyday at 450kbps++

They seems to have somesort of speed monitoring system to check your traffic activity. I've been getting top speed for the past few mths on my 1mbps package. After consistently downloading large file , i start to get low speed once in a while. Speed that will eventually run capped at 40kbps-50kbps. But during morning and after midnite, speed will suddenly be lifted and everything runs at top.

maybe yet another tm stress test?

today IP address changed,

back to throttled, p2p speed no longer blazing fast

so.. VPN time :/

edit:

lol, it seems several IP address range are unthrottled,

after few tries changing different range of IP address

once again P2P blazing fast lol

Bolehvpn solve all the speed problem
Worth to buy

Well mine got throttled back on nov 1st 12am along with most of my friends so it might have been a maintenance after all... If you guys want to test if your throttled or not i have set up a site to compare the download speed between US and MY tm only throttle International connection so what ever speed you get from the MY link is your true speed:
http://downloadfiletest.tk/
during the time when it was un-throttled for me both US and MY speed were same.

Trust me now?
HTTP downloads are never throttled. Further the distance, lower the speed.

You are wrong, the week before when i was un-throttled .flv from us speed was a straight up 540-620KB/s but now during the day or peak hour it's 20-60KB/s and after 12am to 8am or non peak hour it's 200KB/s.
You need a 4mbps line to notice the different.

I own a 4Mbps line, I never had any problem with HTTP downloads from US.



You can try it yourself. http://nimetsu.asia/100mb.test (ColoAT @ California)

I don't think TM throttles traffic other than p2p, some ppl have slower speed, it should be routing issue to different servers,

I agreed with that

I think you misunderstood because i forgot to say certain Extension Throttle, sorry. That is why i setup this site to compare the different extension speed between US and Malaysia http://downloadfiletest.tk/

.FLV on from US (THROTTLED):


.FLV on from Malaysia (MAX SPEED):


Last week I got max speed from both .FLV file from both US and Malaysia (during Unthrottled).

Perhaps problem comes from where are you downloading from? (the servers?)

http://nimetsu.asia/100mb.flv

You know what, I'll do second test on the day time.

Sorry for interfering guys,

I just got a Boleh VPN, may i know what are the speed you guys are receiving by using Boleh VPN on 4MB Connection?

Additionally,
Im just trying to figure out how do they throttle the connection?
I tried login to my friends unthrottled 1MB, seems performing slow as well. (less than 10kb/s)

And people who get throttled, are you still tied under contract of the package?

There are some are not throttled, are you still in contract?

almost constantly speed 475-500kB/s shown on utorrent actual speed being used is 500-565kB/s shown on bandwidth monitor

TM detects a user's connection if there are any p2p traffic ongoing, and makes it lowest priority,
i don't know clients other than utorrent, the difference I can see is even you are downloading from a heathly seeded tracker, you connected to many seeds and peers, but it's extremely low from every user,
it's like connected but get no speed from most of the available seed and peer.

like 1-5kB/s or 0.xkB/s or zero, it's difficult to get over 25kB/s total speed.
if you are lucky, connected to few seed and peer that has ultra high speed upload speed seeding, then you can have high speed from just one or few more users only

in short, you started a torrent task, no matter how long you wait, it still stays at low speed.


how when it's unthrottled,
as usual, you connect to many seeds and peers, you got the speed from most seed and peer. at least 20 above,
then you get high possible speed from many users.

in short, you started a torrent task, speed raises fast to max in just a minute.

VPN encrypts ur connection traffics, TM's p2p throttle system couldn't tell if that's p2p traffic, so the throttle will not work.


not everyone is being throttled, but most, depend on areas, certain ip ranges, or a maintenance is in progress so they temporary lift the throttle system.

if you weren't talking about p2p torrent throttle, i don't really think they do throttle others, the slow issues should be just normal routing issues

i just confirmed that some IP ranges have throttle protocol put in place. Try to reconnect to a different IP and hope for the best. It works for me everytime

Do tell what ip ranges
