Try ar now...u already use for 2 weeks right? I wait for 1 weeks, then called them regarding the ip issue...

You need to wait for your IP to be ported to 218 range , took me 2 weeks. Just wait for a while. Depending on your luck. I did not ask at all and bam I was changed automatically. Just wait

oh well, i will wait then. will give them 2 weeks then.hee~

Pretty good I've to say. I am kinda impressed though. Its on wifi , so the jitter is a bit higher.

Regarding Youtube slowdown to all 4Mbps (218.111) LYN B-U2U frequents:

Quoting Fair Usage Policy (FUP)





1. As far as my knowledge of internet concerns, Youtube can be considered a live streaming site and should be given priority as stated in the FUP.
2. I'm not an extreme heavy user and they should at no time prioritize my traffic usage.
3. As far as the FUP is concern, it will only limit P2P and P2P sites that consume a lot bandwidth and/or users who use extremely lot of bandwidth.
4. Youtube is not a p2p system or site.
5. Youtube is not a file sharing software.
6. TM broke their own Fair Usage Policy by limiting our Youtube speed.
7. Their FUP got loophole because it states Extreme heavy usage? How much is extreme? for normal user like me, extreme means >20GB a month. But to all torrent and RS kaki, your extreme is 100GB+- a month.

(That is on the assumption they throttle Youtube)
There might be other possibilities like they are starting their own cache server and need some time to set it up and get all the videos in it. Other possibilities are server problem etc.

However, a user in the forum has told us that Premium Customer Service told him that they are throttling Youtube and Rapidshare.

I am now quite busy, so i suggest you guys to complain to relevant complain bodies 1st. Giving a pre-amp situation and a platform for our pledge to begin.

I should be free after 2nd week of December and if by then it doesn't improve, i will exhaust all time and resource to take this case up to the highest level possible as i always do with fellow LYN members...

Please, you have to take make a report and take this case up with higher authorities. But i STRONGLY suggest you contact TM though e-mail 1st and see what reasons they give and whether they do throttle Youtube. If they are denying and being unreasonable, giving excuses, then take it up to relevant complain bodies.

* Remember, this in on the assumption that they do throttle Youtube. The signs are there, anyway do make a case and see what they have to say.

Why need to streaming youtube while u can download?

Use idm with 8 connections u can download youtube clips at high speed

Yup, download with IDM is faster than streaming.......can max out my 2mb line easily....

Well.... what you say makes sense and I do that quite alot.
But you know sometimes, WHY would I want to waste time downloading where I SHOULD be able to stream directly without waiting in the first place.

I'm impatient, I know.

I am going to apply for 4mbps. Is it stable? Do u really get 4mbps when downloading from RS? Is multi tasking lagging? Does it trottle alot of website?

Usually they will capped u at 5mbps so that u will get true 4mbps speed..
For the time being, around 7am till 1am, streaming will be lagging (my observation)..
RS, not sure coz rarely download using RS..But can get up to 200~300kbps in my case..Dont know can get this speed constantly or not from RS..
Local browsing is fast...Load soccernet, bbc.co.uk quite fast...

Last 2 weeks, the speed is like hell slow..but now seems to be normal already..

So, what can I tell, it worth it if u is a heavy download user...

Because previously i can stream HD without buffering. Plus i really watch a lot vids in a day, downloading them to my hard drive is just not practical to me.

What kind of ISP is TM, users always have to find a workaround around their nonsense, previously can stream no problem, now need use IDM to download and view from my computer?

Watch out the papers december 2nd week. I might be able to get a story about TM and LYN users out. Might.

You are a reporter?

Wish i am

Have to try at least, but I'm sure you know such that big organizations like TM have some "invisible forces" working behind them...

Thanks got your point. Because currently my plan i need add RM42 per month to get 4mbps only if i can get pure 4mbps i want go for it.

It all depends on your DSL Sync. Again it depends how you manage your bandwidth. for me , at times it can be good and sometimes it can be pain in the butt

Hulu streaming would be great at High quality without any lag on a good day. However on a bad day, bam it will start to buffer every 2 second. It has its ups and downs. Local sites are always fast , downloading latest ubuntu is great with 4Mbps. Again it all depends. The main reason why I went with 4Mbps is not because of its speed , its because of its IP range and superb routing to Europe and to US. That was my main reason

It has its ups and downs. As for me , I am okay with it. I can tolerate with its down and lately youtube takes forever to load.

Thanks for the wonderful review. Just wanna know what download speed do u get normally? Some member said they cap it at 5mbps? or u get 4mbps?

As for me, I usually get around 500~590kbps HTTP download. FTP download usually around 450~530kbps, only if there's no problem with TM routing...

Others I think around this range also...

There you go , this picture would tell you

Thats the average speed. Obviously sometimes it can go up to 560 , but its not stable. Its a bit up and down. Averages around 490-500Kilobytes/sec.



The cap depends on you. I was capped at 4Mbps at first , then I demanded to be raised to 5Mbps as my download speeds were pathetic , I couldn't even get 80% of the advertised speed for local links. I told TM, I am not asking much, just give me 80% of your advertised speed and I am set. So they increased it to 5Mbps so that it would offset the overheads and other things and I could get up to 4.3Mbps

It will take some time for you to get the true 4Mbps speed as at first you'll be on the same IP Range as last time. It will take 2-3 weeks (yes I know and I waited for it) for you to get the 218 ip range.

just to confirm example i am 1mbps

if i download 4 files it will distribute 1mbps among 4f files so 250kbps per file but the screenshot show me every file u get 450bkps+++

I havent been getting 218 ip for very long time di. I thought that would be SDSL right not ADSL

Haha...its not like that la...The screenshot that he show u is the download history...
If u look carefully, there's column that show start date and finished date...
