It's not due to international line, it's due to throttling by TM. P2P (torrent) has been throttled again since turbo started. Youtube is also throttled to a certain extent.
Hence there were discussions about using VPNs and seedboxes, especially for torrent purposes.

Thanks for the answer. If throttled at 15MBps for torrent, I see no point to have 800Mbps unless I miss anything. Any sifu here can share why we need 800 package? Thx

Yes it's quite a facepalm on TM's part. It's all their marketing ploy.
In front, give users turbo. But then behind, throttle the speeds for certain connections.
Let's just hope they stop throttling once they settle everything or when 'pilot' is over.

As for why the need for turbo, well other than torrent and youtube, every thing else seems not throttled so far.
Downloading from other sites, ftp, windows update, apple, adobe, google drive, etc should still give you max speeds.
If for torrent purposes, get a seedbox. It was discussed in this thread some pages back.
Most VPNs won't let you achieve max speed. And seedbox is a much better, hassle-free solution especially for torrenting/downloading.
I guess you are 1 of the lucky ones bro. I read your previous posts regarding this too.
I've personally tested the CentOS torrents you mentioned, torrents on private and public trackers, all of which are for sure well seeded, and all multiple times. Was never able to go higher than 15MB/s (I'm on 500Mbps, so technically 62.5MB/s). On other sites I'm able to get upto 68MB/s download speeds.

Pretty sure TM is throttling. Many of us have reported since turbo started (V34).
Anyway I'll try to post a video on TM throttling youtube too. See if others are facing the same thing.

As mentioned in my previous post, I'm able to get 68MB/s download speeds on certain sites. And yeah consistent speeds I mean. So I don't think my PC's network is having any performance issues.

Anyway I just tested the Centos torrent using my iMac to make sure. Wasn't able to go beyond 10MB/s. =[

I'll post the video regarding youtube throttling later. Hope you guys can help test if it's the same.
Is your friend using VPN? I'm using SSD too (NVMe), so don't think that's the issue.

This is my average torrent speed when I am torrenting "video file". On iMac with no VPN and 800Mbps. To me is good enough

Gr3 can't reach full 800Mbps?

Non-torrent. Haven't been able to achieve good speeds on torrent. iMac is retina 5k (2015) i7 16gb. Router is rt-ac68u.

Have tried a number of VPNs too. Unfortunately all tested given slower speed than without VPN. 
If you have any VPN recommendations that can support turbo on torrents, pls let me know I'll try.
Is my rt-ac68u the bottleneck? What's the minimum requirements to be able to handle torrents at turbo speed.
To avoid all these speed issues on torrents like ours, hence I'm suggesting using seedboxes.

Can you guys do this test?
Basically download large Youtube videos using IDM to see if the speed is throttled.

For me:
* The DL always starts at full speed. Goes upto >60MB/s (maxes out 500Mbps).
* Will quickly drop to around 20MB/s.
* Each time pausing and resuming it will burst to >60MB/s and then for sure drop to 20MB/s again.

Bro soonwai, you haven't got your 800Mbps. Is it on a separate UniFi account? Or you mean your 500 is getting upgraded to 800?

What is the purpose of you swapping their BTU with yours?

Does this mean if I took my BTU to my friends house he would enjoy my speed cap even if he hasn’t gotten upgraded?

So by switching BTU means you switch the phoneline with your neighbour as well? do you use your own login or your neighbour's PPPoE?

hi guys, i dont live in KL anymore so can i ask TM to suspend or pause my account?

i'd like to ask if anyone ever faced similar issue as what i'm facing right now:

ONU AN5506-04-BG intermittently disconnected from internet with power light LED blinking.
i've only faced this issue today after 5mths' usage of this ONU with 10Mbps Lite package
and ~1mth upgrade/re-contract with 100Mbps Lite Best package.
