are u able to run torrent now as we speak?

yeapp
tried a 200mb file doing okay

The disconnection is pretty normal, no idea what caused that. probably the modem or just ABN side.

I'm only guessing but since you say you got 9mbps then you might have 10 mbps package.

Here is what you should expect from a 10 mbps package.
- Full download speed of torrents or any download is 1.1 MB/s (not 200kb/s)
- Able to stream twitch.tv at source quality
- Able to run 2 or 3 youtube 1080p simultaneously smoothly without shutter.

By the terms set by SKMM in Quality of Service Act, you should be able to enjoy the above 95% of the time in a time period of 24 hours.
I know you said its an improvement from a 1mbps, and its obviously is no doubt. But you're still getting cheated for your moneh worth from what they promised you. If they are charging you 1/5 of what they are charging you now, then you're getting your money worth, but right now you are not.

As for capping, they didnt usually cap (and they market their service to have no cap). Before it was universal speed throttle everytime at night after 8pm till 1am, and every weekends. Now it seems like they are capping in a daily basis. So if you used 2.5GB or more, then your speed will be throttle to 2mbps, which still a better improvement of 1mpbs streamyx, but still you are getting cheated by what they promised you.



There shouldn't be any cap. You shouldn't be asking it like its a normal thing

-yeap 10mbps rm99
the random disconnections are a real bummer , sometimes u just wanna wind down relax use ur internet and then this fckin abn decides to dc for fun lol


-well torrents depends on seeds so yeah , the 200mb file(which had good ratio) got up to 700kb/s(maybe it could've gone up more but alrd done downloading) ,maybe its off peak hour
-yeah initially the first few week of getting ABN , i cold do so at source quality , afterwards its just stuck at loading video screen
-alrightt should try that sometime , im just too lazy to change the 480p lol quite enough for me

alright so to make it clear , the cap is daily thing ,so if u exceed 2.5gb in a day , it throttles but resets the next day?


alright thanks for the heads up , i'll see how it goes , if it goes on i'll complain too haha
i rmbr complaining long time ago for streamyx under MCMC , the service was fast and rectified the prob str8 away ,
but from what i read , nowadays is complain to diff dep. alrd?

heyoooo! 2mbps blocks. and I still havent downloaded 2GB, since I just got back from works. *sigh* 7pm trolling started.

weird that my Txxxxnt works now but not great speed la........... around 100+kb/s

my 2mbps/1mbps throttling gone again (hope they finally make a u-turn), heard that AAG submarine cable were already fixed, are this the main reason why they do the throttling because their Bulk bandwidth provider charge more expensive during the cable breakdown, they should just mentioned the estimated recovery date rather than keep silence and doubting the throttling implementation.

I wish they we would have more redundancy if AAG submarine cable breaks down, however, currently AAG submarine cable were not even 100% utilized (Total capacity: 2.88Terabit/s)

No sense if a company suddenly implement bandwidth cap or implement more stricter throttling policy when they are offering unlimited quota on Fixed-line broadband(DSL,cable, FTTx) in their earlier years when IP transit charges become cheaper year by year (and also 400gbps ethernet should be coming in year 2017 somemore). Network cap should only be feasible on wireless service as the bandwidth capacity were too limited (1.25-20MHz) compared to docsis's 3.0 1Ghz bandwidth (42.8Mbits per 6MHz)

torrent work when your connection were not throttled to 1/2 mbps, however dont expect really good speed during the peak hour

Ignoring mnet pointless spam.

Your line is still at full speed? Considering the undersea cable is fix, how is the speed to US?
I'm still at typical 1mbps *sigh*

oookay lol so im getting 2.5mbps now ,
i guess its throttled at night too huh

of course still bad la , those AAG not only used to interconnect to US alone, but to other part of Asia as well (Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam), hence increasing peering cost if the cable were down.

oh shit, the throttling is still ongoing
how your connection speed via abnxcess speedtest?

@zerorating ,
i've got 10mbps on abnxcess speedtest
but its 3.5mbps on speedtest.net lol

this is common, deal with it
the one that i complain about were 1/2mbps capping on any resource (including abnxcess speedtest server)

the low speed was because ABN didnt have enough bandwidth pipe, if you have alternative, better go to HSBB provider.

Welcome to hell buddy. Speed will be slow every night and weekends. Download all u need in the morning.

maybe u all can direct contact abnxcess Vice President technical manager to ask him why so slow the speed

http://my.linkedin.com/pub/chin-aik-tan/6/526/5b9

For the first time since a very very long time, an un-throttled night.

10 mbps local, 5mpbs singapore, 1mpbs texas.

Does this mean a bright future onwards?
The biggest test is tomorrow, weekends, hopefully I can finally enjoy some entertainment at home during weekends without suffering 2mpbs throttle all day and night.

Have u use up the 2.5gb quota? The real test comes after u downloaded 2.5gb. Lol

Have u use up the 2.5gb quota? The real test comes after u downloaded 2.5gb. Lol

usually at night, quota or no quota always slow. Night throttle been there since the beginning of time
But I'll try my hardest to fill in the quota and see hell again. Only 1.2GB will try to fill it up before bed and see if there is hell at the end of the tunnel.

Yep :3 dled 3 GB in total now, this is the speedtest done while I was torrenting at 1MB/s and downloading a 40 MB file on firefox.

Still the big test is tmr and sunday. If it passed then I'm happy (will step off the battlestation for the time being.)
