they have not enough bandwidth
yet they introduce 2mbps package... yes, 2mbps, for web browisng and chatting.... chat till u drop dead
Sometimes I wonder what happened to the logical processor in their heads

there really is no point in getting anything more than a basic RM66 package.

erm, so that ceo@tm.net.my is their CEO email izzit
if really goes to him, i have some love letters for TMNet i'd like him to read

hehe, thats a positive way to look at it though

indeed we can access internet, but i'll be very unfair to those who pays more for the faster package. The only practical thing that need anything faster than a basic 512k package is p2p activities, so all these user pays 22 bucks more than others in believes that it will meet their p2p requirement, but now TmNet is killing off the only application which moves user to get the faster package

It's like they gives us faster bandwidth, but they tell us how to use it

u know, it all just sounds to me like they rather sit back and watch the line idle rather than have it fully utillize, really.. look, they did NOT mention any traffic congestion, all they say is its not fairly distributed and maximum utilization.

1. what is wrong with full utilization of our country bandwidth?

2. Would they rather distribute it evenly and have a load of bandwidth idling because of the difference usage (INEFFECTIVE UTILIZATION) or let this extra, idling bandwidth serve those who need it more (EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION) ?

Clearly it isnt about congestion, but they WANTS the line to be idle, for whatever reason. My guess, reduce international bandwidth usage to save cost. The bandwidth is there, they just didnt want to pay for it.

These ppl are a horrible bunch of cynics..

just my 2 cent though

heheh, u can break pass the 10kbps barrier
mine cant even reach 10kbps..

but mine already basic RM66 package already, so cant do anything, though its a waste pay RM66 but my line is close to idle all the time..

I think the only thing TmNet is better at compare to other ISP around the world is how they cover up all their sinister activity

HK line, the other side slow... the lamest one was we are not throttling, just bandwidth shaping

AFAIK, the terms didnt mention anything about how much share of international bandwidth are we suppose to have.

All that is there is that it defines us getting 512k dl speed for example. and using BT certainly doesnt make our line run faster than 512k

they also did not define the amount of data we can transfer and so many other thing....

As far as the contract signed goes, we get that 512k bandwidth at best effort. so as long as we're not using more than 512k, we're not violating an terms, isnt it....

In europe there's those antitrust law
Microsoft gets alot of pain from them

too bad i dont think our country have any law to prevent monopoly. heck there are so many monopoly companies here, which explains all the bad service we're getting

dont bother calling their technician. they always thinks we knows nothing about all this stuff and talk crap hoping we'll buy into it...

trackers no problem for me...
can even connect to peers but cant dl anything except from local peers of course..
so without local peers, my speed is effectively 0kbps

did u mention to them that ur representing lowyat.net here or something...
probably they entertained knowing that it will be read by many users lol

either that or the rest of us is sending mail to the wrong mailbox all this while

but i hope they wont give answer such as " will do so and so in the future"... they always give a statement that isnt well defined like in the future, best effort... who knows when their future will be...


anyway thanks alot to badawi rocks... looking foward to their reply

bah... our gov are always protecting them instead...
The last thing they will do is let any good foreign company to come in...

man i love this
good job...

yes indeed its just p2p connection only

from website all normal speed, and quite good actually..

If it means more bandwidth at lower cost, then it does means alot since they might ease up on p2p throttling... no one knows. we'll have to wait and see...

right now they are doing this to reduce the cost of international line usage. its not like they dont have the bandwidth to allow p2p, more like they doesnt want to pay for the usage cost
