i just found a good streamyx replacement available at my place

time broadband offering true unlimited usage and only t&c is must keep the subscription for 1 year
no throttling on downloads and can torrent directly full speed without the need to vpn / tflux

don't need to refer anything already if time broadband covers your place
just sign up without hesitation

if u really want to refer, look here -> http://timebroadband.time.net.my/

too bad for u.....


i've called their customer service and they have confirmed the only t&c is the 1 year lock in period
other than that no FUP or bullsh!t like that

Time has good routing, have heard great stories about ping to USA is only slightly more than 100ms, sometimes lower
i'm willing to sign 2 or even 3 years contract if the service remains that good
although it's slightly more expensive than screamyx but i've calculated that in the long run i won't be using VPN or tflux anymore with Time so it's actually cheaper comparing to using screamyx 4mb + VPN / tflux
screamyx always made me scream at it back in those days.... it's also so unstable....

U Mobile is not bad actually except for the throttle....
have to use a VPN to unthrottle it but i only get around 130kb/s with the VPN and not the full 200-300kb/s

actually just now in office i tried and i have got so many dc i lost count......

well they have sold off their 3G spectrum (license) to Digi and their mobile telco co to Maxis (017 used to be Time) so not much expansion they can do...
but since their entire backbone is fiber optics - from exchange to data centre so the speed is
and not to mention the lack of customer base means more bandwidth for current users

today i think have problem????
failed to do speedtest cuz ping fail..........
have been consistently like this since around 12pm
anybody else have the same problem????

i'm on HSDPA but then my ping is incredibly slow....
i tried using my friend's modem to check whether it's the modem's fault but the result is the same

so what's U Mobile up to now??????
in addition to throttle download speed they throttle latency too????
wtf

maybe we downloaded too much and U Mobile is trying to stop that...........


anyway, i'll be subscribing Time wired

that's not show off lar...
i'm not on a 100mbps leased line ler.....

most probably getting 3mb package

well they don't enforce the FUP but they do enforce a bloody throttle!!!!!!!!
not suitable for a download junkie like me........

well i'm on another ISP now so U Mobile is just my backup and i use it on the go only
for surfing only in klang valley i think no other ISP can beat U Mobile

i'm confused with something
say i add a voice plan to my U Mobile data sim, are there any other double data charges if i use 3G video call???
i mean on top of the video call rates, any other charges???

oh so the data plan cannot be considered as something similar to Celcom/Maxis/Digi???
it is solely for accessing internet??

haizzz i thought of switching to U Mobile if voice+data is possible.....
looks like still have to wait for new digi data unlimited to launch...

ya i need data on my phone
i'll be getting a blackberry from my company anytime next week so thinking of getting data on my personal line

vincent, beware of the throttle
U Mobile will throttle u.... read my posts earlier...
and about the billing, it's normal for the bills to be delayed. I went to the service centre and the guy there said in some cases the bill won't come in 3 or 4 months but it's better to go to the service centre to check and pay

overall, i would say in klang valley for surfing on the go, U Mobile is among the best
sadly it's not suitable for downloads though......

oh u got it too???
i thought it's me only

bro that's the sign of the throttle....
later it will become less than 50-80kb/s....

wireless connections are like that it's not stable
and, pray hard the throttle has not been imposed on u...

i don't think it's area related but seems like more data centre related cuz at work or at home i'm getting the error
sometimes i can reconnect within few minutes but sometimes can't reconnect at all...

btw i'm not using U Mobile to download anymore... just only browsing and emailing also face this sort of problem....

coverage map at U Mobile official website is a bit unclear...
i suggest u call/email U Mobile customer service to confirm, and they do respond to emails unlike some other ISP's

About the speed, it is quite consistent and good enough for browsing
but if u're thinking of heavy downloading/torrents
they will throttle your FTP downloads & torrents will get 3-5kb/s
VPN is also not a good solution cuz the max u'll get is around 100kb/s only but on heavily seeded private trackers i'm getting 50-60kb/s only....
