my emule is downloading at 50kb/s now.
512kbit/s package

According to a very reliable source, we got to know the following about the current P2P blocking issue facing Streamyx users:

- TMNet is currently in the process of testing their "Volume-Base system"
- As its still in the development phase, the call center won't be able to tell you much.
- The block is implemented from 6AM - Midnight.
- The P2P block was implemented after the Taiwan earthquake because they noticed that "p2p downloading was adding to performance degradation on their network"
- "Weather permitting", the block will be lifted at the end of January, when the Taiwan circuit is fully restored

Based on the above information, and bandwidth usage starting to show up on bills, we speculate that TMNet will release new packages to cater for heavy broadband users. To be fair, this should result in cheaper packages for light users - and not more expensive packages for heavy broadband users, presumably. As for the throttling, well - let's hope its really lifted when the Taiwan circuit is restored, and maybe too, it'll all get settled in the next two days.
