For me, was really lagged Saturday until around close to midnight. Then suddenly all the lag disappeared, but every 10 minutes the line loses link for half a minute. The line is still there, but no data goes through, so it makes online gaming completely impossible. =(
This is from Taman Desa, Old Klang Road. Hopefully tomorrow when all the companies start calling in to complain they'll take action.

Hi all, thanks for the advice on the 60.xx.xx.xx IP problems. I restarted my modem a few times, and finally got an IP which started with 218.xx.xx.xx. However, after a few minutes, it disconnects and reverts to an IP starting with 60.xx.xx.xx even though I did not touch my modem - how on earth did they do that? Did Screamyx delibrately reallocate a 60.xx.xx.xx IP to me? Why did this happen, and how can I solve this problem (i.e. not use the 60.xx.xx.xx address until Screamyx sort their act out)?
Thanks

QUOTE(glen_cct @ Jul 21 2008, 11:56 PM) i think that only happen when you've dc.. you can check the log of your router to find out. because router is auto-connect as you know, if drop it will auto reconnect x_x Ah, so my disconnections every 10-15 minutes aren't the fault of Screamyx's 60.xx IP, but probably a fault of my modem then?

QUOTE(glen_cct @ Jul 22 2008, 12:36 AM) shit .. my fault, i just re-reading your previous post. i though you were talking about "why the ip will goes back to 60.xx from 218.xx *sorry about that about not to use "60.xx" until they back to normal. i dont think it got solution. Unless, they change your port. *sorry again about .. .. No, you were right.. it was disconnections which are killing me. Even 60.xx is working fine and fast for me, it just dies every 10-15 minutes. I tried using another modem and same problem. Maybe the signal dies and prompts the modem to reconnect - even the 218.xx addresses, though. Hopefully Screamyx can sort this out.

Ya I lose signal every 10 minutes or so. It's due to a disconnection and reconnection of the modem - it doesn't look like a DC because my wireless continues broadcasting the signal even though the signal if broadcasts is no longer connected to the internet. After every dead signal, my IP changes, a sure sign that it was a disconnection.
Phew, I'm not the only one who has this problem - at least we know it's not our hardware problem, and just have to wait for Screamyx to act.

I still have the disconnect problem - every 10-15 minutes disconnect for 20 secs or so.. enough to make me restart EVE Online.
The worst thing is you call tmnet and they sound surprised at your problem, like it's an isolated thing and not a big problem which is affecting the bulk of their customer base. "remove the splitter" "plug and unplug your cables" "I'll reset your connection - turn off your modem and turn on again" "try connecting directly to the modem instead of through the wireless".. very polite, but so damned useless.
