Hiya all... does anyone know how to get around this whole throttling problem on a mac?... d/l & u/l speeds hv been shit as of late...

Been goin thru threads on the LYP forum n most "solutions" r for windows...

any ideas?

my speed 3 days ago was 140+ on average... today it's like less than 10kb... which is crap... dont ya think?

yea... i hear u... n totally understand this slow down affects everyone but thr must be a way to do adjust proxy settings, etc in a mac... or is thr no hope?... hmmmm....

Amd, nah... encryption didnt work... thanks tho...

yeti.. the threads basically had tonnes of disgruntled streamyx users givin their 2 cents worth... no real solutions thr...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||-------
i guess ultimately, this is well n truly beyond what any streamyx users can do... if u google "tmnet bandwidth throttling", u will find articles abroad tat says how ridiculous tm is...

this my friends is due to absolute monopoly... the dickweeds at TM r juz bullyin their way cause they know if 1000 ppl go in and cancel their service, another 1000 will come in almost immediately...

i've been on a billing dispute with TM since 7 mths ago!... it's juz stupid how their protocol is... i was appalled wit the fact tat they will charge u if they bar your service. which is absolutely ridiculous! how can they do that completely baffles me... and having friggin puppets workin at the help desk & email centers serves zero purpose...

i mean what is the point of havin all this new color schemes and shit when it's all juz cosmetic... only skin deep... the friggin "geniouses" tat sits behind counters, sit at the end of the phone only always tell u... it's policy this, it's policy that... well... i told them, it's my policy not to pay for something i didnt use... and it's my policy that your policy no longer applies when you DIDNT inform me in the first place that you will charge me when u bar my service... if you did, then i will pay... but i didnt... not written on my original contract, hence i dont give a rats ass what they say abt "You must pay cause it's written here in OUR new policy"...

yea... my policy is here u go... have a middle finger... it's my policy wankers like tat get one...

so i told them i am not paying a single cent of the amt they charged me when they barred my service... it's not the matter of the couple of ringgit... it's abt principle...

oh ya... if i cud, i'd already change providers... unfortunately, i've only tm in my area!...

frm the way i see it, we'll just hv to:

a. wait for some miraculous arrival of another broadband provider in the coming couple of weeks.
b. wait for some son/daughter of some really big shot to run n complain to daddy/mommy how he/she can no longer d/l anything.. and hope daddy/mommy can do something to turn the situation around... unfortunately, this is even a bigger miracle!... hahha...

neeways, i do hope the powers tat be do something abt this big sluggish company tat's just playon consumers for a fool... in what developed country u get companies that say u pay for 2MB service, you'll be lucky to get 512MB... hahah...

sorry all for this lengthy crap.. juz am totally cheesed off by these farkin licensed con men...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||-----------------

well... tat's not so much a gd solution... cause now i can't even update my ipod software or download any of my podcasts... anyone hv this problem?

Wei... how do u that ssh tunnelling?

Yeti... my ip's 124.xx.xx.xxx.... it's juz shit also... neeways, i so wanna try out ssh tunnelling... i love BT too much!... heheh...
