you speedtest to LOS ANGELES, CA sever ?
I think you should the test to Malaysia sever.
why malaysia server ? the majority of the content i download is US server. And even some european servers.
Only local caching stuff like akamai etc, or local website care about local speeds. And local gaming like fps where low latency is required.
Think of it this way....
i download torrent (linux iso COUGH

) but only US peers...... no local peers like singapore or malaysia.... so i get maxed out at 20mbps dl..... at most.
but another torrent got mix of both us, sg, my users.... because some of users is local, so i can get up to 30mbps ..... (because some of that bandwidth is local which is maxed out at 30...)
basically... in limited situations you can get max speed (either local caching or local peers)..... but how often does this happen ? For me most of my download this is situation doesn't happen most of the time.... especially for torrent.
Not even getting between 24-27 mbps (80-90%) either which is the bare minimum you'd expect

Look at SKMM Throughput or Bandwidth Utilisation customers should be expecting for their broadband subscription
QUOTE
Not less than 90% of subscribed level (both for uploading and downloading)
http://www.skmm.gov.my/Sectors/Broadband/Q...of-Service.aspxSo entitlement alone based on SKMM's own rules, i'm legitimately undercapped.
Also since other users 30mbps to US to begin with (based on user feedback on the forum so far), i don't see why i need to settle for less

so this is definitely a real not imagined issue.
Also for your reference
Local bandwidth, international bandwidth, download bandwidth and upload bandwidth.

QUOTE
International bandwidth refers to the max bandwidth that is allocated to each subscriber connecting from StarHub’s network to the Internet outside of Singapore at point A in Diagram 1.
In general, RSPs like StarHub do not have control over how other content provider connects to the Internet to provide their service to our subscribers. The local speed to content provider is usually good because the distance within Singapore is short and latency is low. For example, if you are subscribed to a 100Mbps service bandwidth, you should be able to attain at least 60Mbps throughput within Singapore assuming the content provider does not have subscriber tiering and their bandwidth to the Internet is not congested.
However, when it comes to International bandwidth, the equation gets more complex as distance affects the performance of the international connection. In reality, the distance from Singapore to Hong Kong, China, United States of America and Europe varies and for bigger countries like China, United States of America and Europe, the distance between states and provinces also varies. Thus, the throughput to different international location varies accordingly. This is why when subscribers performs speedtests to different countries, they usually get different results.
http://www.starhub.com/personal/support/br...h-vs-speed.htmlbut that said even multiple different US servers on speedtests, all is under 20. so this is clearly a HARD download cap imposed, not simple fluctuating differences
