Well jayfoo seems to be happy with his 4 mbs.

From what i've gathered so far.

4mb streamyx

1. this is one a different dslam than the one for 1 mb and 512k streamyx. It's on the new e-metro

2. 4mb is not throttled *yet

3. the speed is the promised 4mb * i saw this other thread where the subsriber was given 5 mb so he could reach his promised 4 mb ( heck they wouldn't even let me subscribe because they complain i was just 1 km away from their 3 km limit :[ )


What isn't so clear yet is how good is gaming latency ? any screenshots or figures anyone ? Also how is surfing/downloading from international sources ( namely the us ) like ?


There is no point bashing 4mb since it's different from their other offerings would be better to know the truth for those of us who want to opt out of their crappy 1mbps :[


cons:

1. over priced ( everybody knows this )

2. never know whether they will throttle in the future remember you have signed a 1 year contract with them.... and don't forget the setup cost, your tied with them for at least a year

That is the way of the world.... the rich bully us down throdden poor folk :/ revolution anybody ?

My only qualms is that they aren't covering me. Another year with 1 mbps throttled broadband ... gawd...

Evilme what exactly is your problem ?

Are you in the process of unsubscribe your current streamyx and getting 4mb, or do you already have it but it had some problem ?

Which is it o_O;

Rayfoo you need to go to a game like Counter Strike, or Warcraft 3 and go to an online server. They show your gaming latency :]

250 MS !!! WOW!!

i wonder what your ms would be for World of Warcraft ._.;

Wahahaha so what if interuption more than 2 days ? Do they give a rebate ? fwhahaaha

Try calling Lim Keng Yaik or pak lah

Ok so the review so far for 4mb streamyx is...


Pros
- fast speed

Cons
- getting 4 mb package may result in 1 week of downtime when in tos is stated maximum 2 days.... ( i wonder what tmnut will do since they promised 2 days ? Anybody tried enquiring them ? )

- alot of hassle trying to chase down the tmnut to get off their ass and fix your line and do their job ( might have to go to their tmpoint center and make a scene till management comes out .... bring a protest banner along to unleash full fury ! )

- the modem provided may not work from sratch and may require a little tinkering with.

- some web sites are slow ( probably international ... )

Well my internet speed has been better since i've gotten my new d-link dir-655 router just configured portforwarding, qos, then installed cfosspeed download, surfing and gaming all much faster now :]

What kind of modem you using, and are you using a router?

yeah upgrade your Aztech firmware. I did and mine is now slightly faster.

I'm using Network Magic. It sends me my monthly bandwidth usage report by mail

Paying a lot for 4 mb, and vpn on top of that ? ._.; i really don't think the price is justified.

Their not called tmnut for nothing harhar.

Good for you rayfoo If tmnut start thinking you guys use too much bandwidth they might try to throttle you guys good thing their idiots.

May i know what program that is to monitor ?

is there a program to monitor the whole bandwidth for the computer and not just BT only ?
