Wow! I don't need astro. Too bad it lags on my 512kbps connection. Hmmm, I bet if I were to stream this everyday to watch. TM Net would say I am abusing their services and a part of the 20% using 80% of bandwidth. It's not even p2p.

It's amazing. Here I am uploading to a guy in Brazil at FULL 256 kbps speed. Whereas we can't even download anything thru bittorrent at 256 kbps speed. Last I remember Brazil is a poor and developing country where football is the main way out of poverty while we are steaming forward to developed status by 2020. Looks like we are now heading in the wrong direction.

I think that was a typo was supposed to be p2p. I wouldn't mind getting a psp together with my TM Net account.

PSP cost RM1300. I can get a PC already.

Wow, if this is true then it's shocking!

Wah! Download 155KBps Upload 5KBps. This is what I call a leecher!

About the dslreport, the time is now 12:10pm and I'm still getting good speeds on my torrent 10-30kBps with 0 local peers. Most of the peers are uploading at less than 1kBps while a few are uploading up to 10kBps. I have pinged those high speed peers and they have very low latency while others (very slow) have high latency. The peers are located in Germany, USA and Netherlands. Meanwhile, I have noticed that my google problem have also disappeared. I think TM Net did something to my DSLAM.

So the report has some errors unless they really decided to remove the traffic shaping appliance because it is needed elsewhere with higher traffic or suffered some kind of malfunction from heat or humidity.

Yes, I also faced streamyx problems right before I was throttled! They have to mess with the system to install the traffic shaper hence the connection problems.

I found this in StarBiz, 6 March 2006.

Title: TM Net promoting broadband lifestyle
By Yvonne Tan yvonne@thestar.com.my

INTERNET service provider TM Net Sdn Bhd wants to get this message across to Malaysians: broadband is not merely about surfing the internet and e-mailing; it can be, in fact, a lifestyle.

Chief Executive Officer Michael Lai said when it came to broadband usage, Malaysia was at the 'middle tier' compared with other countries in Asia.

"Countries such as Hong Kong and Singapore, with their many high-rise buildings, allow for the installation of a single pipe to service many broadband customers at a time, unlike Malaysia where many people live on landed property.

"For Malaysians to move to broadband, there has to be something very compelling about it. Therefore, improving on the communication area of the broadband experience is important," he told StarBiz in an interview.

"When I talk about communication, I am referring to things such as using a video call. Many people use some sort of broadband now, but how many are actually making use of something as simple as video calls?

"It is something close to being free of charge, but many people still do not know how to use it," he said.

One could got through messenger services such as those provided by MSN and Yahoo! to conduct a video call, Lai noted.

"I think a lot of people feel broadband is only for e-mailing, surfing and downloading stuff from the internet - they have yet to truly realise its full potential," he said.


Then the article continues on about video calls, webcams, internet penetration, IPTV and etc. I'm too tired to type more.

What I'm thinking is, TM Net is messing up my P2P lifestyle so I can have a video call lifestyle instead? I wonder, are your friends gonna be in front of a webcam when you make that video call? Nope. They'll be out somewhere relying on their handphone for communications while they eat, drink, shop, work and play.

Wrong thread-lah

Did you know they outsourced their customer service to another company? Then the TM Net staff all protest outside TM Net office in cyberjaya because they lost their jobs.

Internet become Intranet TM Net is now an Intranet Service Provider

Amazing! Even with the bittorrent throttling, they still can't provide the service promised for non bittorrent traffic.

Yeah, they'll unthrottle and cap all of us at 30GB per month. Then say 'Hey this is 10 times more than what Maxis is offering.

Ah Yes! More installation of the traffic shaper appliance at Taman Midah, Taman Tan Yee Biew & Bangsar

I think it's suppose to be Hippo wearing a human suit.

I wonder, does the Streamyx SOHO 1.0M Package have the same effect. I can't seem to find the Streamyx Enterprise 3M package listed at the website.

Wait a minute. There is a user here by the name of steven437 with bandwidth problems eventhough it is a Corporate package. How do you explain that?

In other words, a 512 kbps connection is shared among 10 users so when 9 of them are not using only then you'll get full 512 kbps speed.

It's the damned sea monsters I tell ya! I saw them in Surface and Pirates 2.

Couldn't pay cisco too?

I'm a light-moderate downloader and yet I'm affected as well. Do you think that is fair to me? Thankfully this filter is worthless as I have bypassed it. Bypasses are great. It's the reason why Dr Tan Sri Mahathir (correct title?) & David Letterman are still alive.
