RM198 x 12 = Big Regret

Who said they will not going to throttled BT ? Read the T&C again

"Speed of service is on 'best effort basis'."

You should run the speed test on Jakarta or Singapore server. The further the distance, the less speed we get.

I can get only 1.5mbps on Canberra server but the truth is i can get more than that speed when testing it on nvidia/ati driver site. Some server are just slow and not accurate.

Kinda hard getting close to 4mbps but i do agree his downstream are way too low. The point is the distance. How far the bytes needs to "travel" and gap of the ping you are getting.

Here is the test shot on 3 of USA servers, LA/Miami/Austin:







Just check out the frigging ping. Pathetic isnt it ?

While this one on Singapore:



Some of you people measured it in a wrong a way. You don't use USA as benchmark to check your down/up stream speed. Distance will take down the speed/ping. Do a quick check on shorter distance, that will be your down/up stream speed.

Another best way is to download files from Nvidia/Ati website, their drivers. That is the most accurate because their servers are located in the USA, as you most preferred to check it that way and they don't capped the download speed. You can maxed out on whatever connection you may have.

Don't be short-minded, think of broader and smarter ways to check it!

1mb package will give you 1.5mbps after the auto-upgrade. Based from the screenie, you are getting the max speed of your package.

332ms ping net you 1mbps speed, not bad at all

For 4mb package, you will get around 4mbps - 4.2mbps averagely.

I know some if not, most people use USA as their default benchmark speed check. While i myself on the other hand, most download from BT and that can't be a good benchmark medium because we download chunks of hash file from so many peers. Gathered together, we get the full speed, how far the package can provide to each users. As the experience will differs if the seeders are not sharing that well.

Yes, those ping are way too much to accept. Since you are have experienced the speed in those 2 countries, it makes sense you have a clearer picture to compare among those ISPs. Thanks for the input regarding the distance definition. I stand corrected.

That speed shown there are identical to 1mbps package. You should go down to TMpoint and hammer their desk for providing false speed. Don't need to do the test on TM's speedtest site. They don't even bothered to update the test package. Their KL's counterpart still have the old list: RM269 per month for 4mbps.

I'm getting good speed here because i'm the 1st 4mbps subscriber in my area and my house are like 5mins away from our exchange here. Not to mentioned my internet kept disconnecting for the first few days. Took me alot of effort to signed up for the package. Can't recall how times i have called them to make it right. None of the staff at TMpoint have the updated information about the line coverage. I remember, you once told me copper can support up to 20mbps. I always had the impression that only fibre-optic can support such speed. But the reality is the DSLAM upgrading to support such speed.

This is how it looks like when a company allowed to monopoly everything, robbing people at daylight. At one point, some people even labelled TMnut as "Robbers with License In Malaysia"

Mass load of speed result

517ms ping from Austin can still net you 3.9mbps, kheng!

You think by logged in with your friend's 4mbps line login ID on your 512kbps line will scored you 4mbps speed ?

Yes, you can register as many as you want but that is going to cost you

RM140 for 2mbps. If you subscribe to 1mbps package, you will automatically get 1.5mbps speed, exact 1.5mbps package does not exist

1.5mbps auto-upgrade depends on area, actually that is a lame term. All areas in Malaysia have atleast 4mbps speed coverage right now compared back in April. Why they refused to auto-upgrade 1.5mbps in certain area are beyond our understanding

It's done automatically by TMnut back then, silent auto-upgrade but words from mouth circles out so we got the answer why suddenly we are getting 150kbps on BT

You can try calling the customer service and asked them why you are not getting the auto-upgrade while other areas are enjoying it like almost 18 months ago. Bang the customer service for good if he/she failed to provide you with a satisfying/logical/reasonable answer. After some good banging, wishes them Merry Farking Christmas!!!

After all, customer services is all about taking shit from the caller. When a customer called-in, it is means they have questions/problems and mostly already 51% annoyed/pissed. If every phone calls are polite and smooth, many people would apply for the job!

You referring to your upload speed ?
