why want they to throttle at specific time when u can have full speed all the time?

yup. I can say full speed most of the time provided seeders are a lot. only drop intermittently for a few seconds then full speed again. if you use utorrent, you'll get green checkmark on the bottom right corner stating that your connection is good. if not, maybe you can try port forwarding in the modem.

if just installed, the modem still under warranty. your best bet is to call the installer to come and check the modem.
but you know, it can be a lot of factor. maybe the dsl line not stable thus the snr margin is low. i doubt they didn't check on first install right.

mine is more like this:

_/-----------\/----------\/--------

the ----- above is top speed
(provided good torrent seed)

streamyx upload is always the same (max 50kbps++) whether u subscribe 1/2/3/4 or 8mbps package.
never bother about the upload speed anyway. unless you are a good citizen who always want to seed at least with 1:1 ratio.

anything other than TM dns

go for it!
new technology compared to aging copper line.
line more stable.

not really.
for not so heavy user, cheap one will do.
your streamyx speed won't fully utilized the modem anyway.
if you are into networking, then it matters. the ability to customize a lot of things which cheap modem won't support is very beneficial.

for me torrenting is a breeze.
i'm using default modem from TM.
no issue.

i thought the bill is already included with telephone line?

get the tablet package but that's limited.
first come first serve basis.

patience is a virtue when dealing with TM

that's somehow looks normal to me.
sifus?

from my experience, i once asked the technician to reconnect the cable (from the drop cable towards my house internal wiring)the joint is actually exposed to rain and after a long time, it gets rusty.
after reconnect, the SNR margin up by about 2.0dB.
maybe you can check the wiring to make sure it's okay.

quick question, is it possible to draw current/voltage/whatever from the phone line to power the modem?
how much voltage/current does the line carries?

seriously?
i can't remember where, but i once saw that the cable has 2 head (Y cable), one head is rj11 and another one is power plug (the round head that usually same as laptop charger). on the other end is rj11.
or maybe i saw it wrongly

as far as i know the line still carry electric current, that's why your phone can work.

not sure.
is it possible?
can save a plug to power on the modem, only use current from the adsl line.
possible?

of course. the easiest way without any hassle.

How can I set static IP address for certain MAC address in DB120-WL?
Previously I use DB108-WL and I manage to do it.
Now using DB120-WL. Cannot find the setting.

I'm on streamyx 2mbps. Recently got a promo rm120 for 4mbps. I straight accept. Now my data rate down is 5120kbps but when speedtest only 2mbps (my previous speed). Called 100 and they reset the port for me but problem still persist.
Anything I'm missing?

Yup I was told the same. In fact this is the 3rd working day. But today I checked my ADSL status already 5120kbps so I guess they might have upgrade my package. But when Speedtest only can reached 2Mbps.

So a technician came and tried to replace my modem (Asus N12U C1) with stock modem and it works! Speedtest result shows 4.5Mbps. He said my modem got problem.

A lot of time I restart my Asus modem but to no avail. Then I tried to reset and input all my credential again and guess what? It works!

How come like this?
