TM > LKY + MCMC. Discuss.

i dont mind if they block 50% of our speeds on bt
but completely close is unacceptable

tmnet used the excuse they had to throttle p2p to get back the bandwidth so that the "rest" of the subscribers have a better surfing experience.

but is this true? from my experience, even normal surfing etc is hardly trouble free, pages timeout, sometimes load halfway and jam, have to refresh and load again, jerky youtube, low speed on filehosting sites like rapidshare etc.

i think all that is just bs excuse to cover for their incompetent network setup.

it's 2007 and i don't see anything improving ... "typical" tm nuts with their lies and promises

I second that...

what kind of promise tmnut makes ?
they never admit they throttle bt, they already give thier 'best effort', what kind of improvement you expect, comeon, we know that we live in malaysia right ?

In the last six months, I've experienced the Australian internet system, and the Malaysian system, and I gotta say, I don't know which is worse.

Malaysian crap one-choice-only ISP who throttles p2p, but no limits on how much you can download, and is decently priced.

Australian many-choices-ISP with lots of speeds, but almost all ISPs set limits on how much you can download, and you wanna download more, you pay more.

The Australian system generally works on the basis that you wanna download more, fine, but you pay hell for it. The only current ADSL1 1500/256 unlimited plan in Australia costs AUD$105, which is approximately RM290-300. Its actually a decent price for Australia, but the ISP will probably die in the next 6 months or start imposing limits once it gets enough customers.

Why compare australia and m'sia?

Why not compare China and M'sia?

China can get 2mbps cheaper than out 512kbps.

Sorry for the rude post.
No offence.

You forgotten about Chinese government censorship?

If you want to compare prices of anything between countries, don't convert to RM because by then the comparison is useless.Compare the earning power then it'll make sense. If I earn AUD2000/month, I don't mind paying AUD 105 for 'good' ADSL service compared t0 here in Malaysia if you earn RM 2000/month, you'd think twice paying RM88 for 'best effort' service.

I wrote to complain in Malaysiakini too about transparency in TM's business conduct, which is, none.

That is true, I'm exaggerating relative prices since the RM is weak compared to many currencies.

That said, AUD 105 for "good" service is yet to be seen. Every Australian ISP that has advertised and sold unlimited plans on ADSL for around AUD 100 has either limited the plans, scrapped them, or the company has gone massively downhill a few months after the plans.

You want true unlimited with Australia's version of TMnuts? You'll have to pay AUD 300+ for it.
