Yeah, if only tmnet's effective throttling matches their service & reliability, all of us Malaysians will get service like that in Korea. Alas, that is not the case.

tipu pandai, service takde (well, ada but tak memuaskan)

2 kB/s with µTorrent regardless of the IP range

location : near TPM, Bukit Jalil

wow, that's amazing

why ? the fact that you can still sneak in that amount of speed when your connection is shaped as sources from US (even Singapore) have very slow speed - something everyone should be VERY familiar with

too bad the Japanese dont download US tv shows though, thus us malaysians have to rely on other countries to piggy back BT on

glad you noticed.

its been in effect for quite some time, since they start throttling everybody in fact.

the disconnection you (well everybody actually) experience is not actually an actual disconnection from streamyx's DSLAM per se. what happens is you lose incoming and outgoing traffic for a while, but your IP still stays the same. After a while your download may recover but with a maximum of 10 kbps only But your upload may 100% recover or limp along just like your downloads. its easy to tell this by using apps like netmeter or freemeter in windows.

solution ? reduce limit on incoming & outgoing connection on whatever app you are using. make sure the incoming connections are within 2 digits, i.e. less than 100. The same goes for outgoing connections too.

but this so-called "solution" limits the possibilities of peers that can offer you data, thus slowing your downloads. but at least your connection stabilize, though no guarantees as streamyx does successfully thwart this method too. their shaping policy is very effective i must say.

in other words, there's no solution really. although disgruntled users can always migrate elsewhere hey, just kidding
