bandwidth cost money. so they take the opportunity to lower upload so u use less bandwidth.

some broadband packages like ftth can ul/dl same speed. but sometimes they intentionally nerf it this way to save on costs .... though the technology itself is not limited in this way like adsl was.

If you are offering web hosting facilities to your customers, all the more reason why you would need a higher upload bandwidth.

So its advisable to stick with ur current VIP10 or 20MB ?

20Mbps oh.
If it is 20MB, that's 160Mbps.

well dl speed is much more important than ul.

ul is limited usage, most general users wouldn't even notice.


but if your like me and do live streaming on twitch tv, or hosting a NAS from home, then yeah upload is important.

10mbps for me is sufficient. but if you wanna stream 1080p, faster is better, maybe 30mbps ul ?


i'm waiting for the 50/10 ul/dl which is cheaper come september. few people already said they confirm tmnut is having a internet only package with a cheaper price come sept :} so i wait.

Mostly I am using my VIP 10 to download stuff from torrent and hear online radio...hardly upload stuff.

Think should stick with 10MB or wait till September for better deal.

yeah see, thats y ul useless most part. you need some sure even for gaming (cause have to transmit data for online game also even though a little). but most stuff don't need much.

i think even 5mbps is good enough for imgur picture uploads, or email attachments.

totally agreed with you.. i think majority of the people will only consume the download. Even report from Sandvine for usage trending last year shown minimum req for upload usage..

big diff in median and mean shown minority user used significant high upload. so if we have the standard deviation.. more accurate distribution able to derive.

ooo nice

Is that statistic based on people who have 5,10,20 Mbps or more upload bandwidth or mixed with people who only have typical 1+Mbps DSL upload bandwidth?

If people have a glut/big upload bandwidth and didn't use it all then fine. But if they only have 1+Mbps upload, even if they want to use more, they can't. And perhaps they would be using more upload bandwidth if they had it?

well for private torrent tracker membership, if someone actively downloads from that sort of place, then upload is very important. more upload = more ratio so you can download more without getting flagged as a leech (which result in being banned or not able to download )

here's good news for some of you!

.. shah alam
.. vip10 (10mbps) user for 4 yrs, no more contract

even the tm point dealer says the package is very new, some people know, some don't.

where the tm branch can find this promotion? can share it?

just walk in to yr nearest tm point, ask the dealer.

there is no ad, no display, nothing.

like i said, some workers may not know.

get hold of a "senior" staff, ask him/her to check on her terminal, it is there.

What about free TM-to-TM free calls, included in rm169?

yes, same like before.

Hahahaah! Very true.

yup,yesterday i go to pandan indah tm point ask they,no workers have know this new promotion,some workers said must take a happy tv....
they manager cal 100 asking,answer is same...

Just went to tmpoint taipan usj, workers knows nut about the new package, told them that i want to upgrade from 5mb unifi to new 10mb RM179 package they say it is only for new subcribers.

I wonder what happend to the curent VIP10 who are paying RM199.00 ? Wont they get reduce price for their package?

Still nobody knows the quota set for 30M package?

VIP package although quota is not implemented, they do publish the quota of 60/90/120 GB for VIP5/10/20

RM169 surely take 30M, don't need to consider already, cheaper than VIP10.
