I thought it was just only international, however when I tried LYN, I keep getting unfinished pages or....



It goes fast then slows down repeatedly like clockwork...

Screamyx back to slow-mo again today... even Google is slow...

Seems many foriegn websites (not local) are slow... click on page, then zzzzzz...... Need many retires, page never load complete, just blank, or takes up to 1 minute to arrive!! This is definitely not DNS problem.. every HTTP or FTP file download tried around 1KB/s or less.... Time again to make their complaint phone line busy.

Edit: Youtube videos are still no go...

As of the time of this posting....

- Hotmail comes up blank despite retries
- Youtube just too slow until zzzzzz...... like a ultra slow slideshow
- Quite a number of sites are very and utterly slow, only a few are OK (seems very odd indeed)
- Combined download speed (HTTP + FTP + torrent) is less than 20KB/s to 35KB/s, despite using a 1Mbps line (theoretically 100KB/s)

Bad Screamyx

Your Youtube can work..... Mine totally "dead"!!! Even right now...

Yes, once in a random while.... though rarely.

From my observation, each connection is throttled down to 5KB/s (doesn't matter whether HTTP, FTP, etc). A download manager is a must because downloads simply decrease in speed and stops, timeouts very often. Many sites still slow or inaccessible.. The DNS lookup is utterly slow, click and wait ("Looking up ....." zzzz)

Same here. zzzzz..... Hotmail is weird... sometimes can log in, often cannot... blank screens (login and logouts too). Some sites still slooooowwww.... like pages were "done" but lots of stuff like images are loaded halfway or missing...

Seems my TOTAL downstream bandwidth cannot exceed 30KB/s, even at this time!!! Why am I paying for 33% bandwidth? My suspicion is the indiscriminate throttling, seems Screamyx traffic shapers only monitors the first headers of the HTTP request... If go thru proxy server, its ignored because the first header is the proxy request... not the actual HTTP request (which comes after the proxy request has been authenticated)... That could be the reason why proxy servers much faster...

All my downstreams is limited to 30KB/s as I've mentioned earlier... even with local server



TMNutz Speedometer busy... I guess this is evidence enough, showing Screamyx limiting connections, clearly not even considered "best effort"!! Breach of customer contract/agreement?!

I tried... also cannot access it, considering its a local website! Does TMNet did it on purpose... just look at my download stream speed for the past 24 hours.

Seems its back to normal..... Youtube works, can read Hotmail, websites quicker than previously in the morning...



Hopefully can last.....

Deja vu all over again... I'm also having trouble getting LYN pages to load... it takes like forever.. I thought TMNutz would have fixed it by Monday... guess its time to make more noise...

My connection's gone crazy again... despite nothing else running, restarted PC, on/off modem... still...

Currently under investigation....

At certain times of the day, I'm only getting 480kbps to 500kbps.. this is not only VERIFIED by Speedtest.net but also by my modems internal modulation status, in fact I used 2 different modems for this.

Also my connection returns to normal which 1Mbps for only SHORT periods of time.... then it starts going downhill again...

Certainly something is amiss.... Will check this out time to time for the next few days...

Note: Does anyone notice that TMNutz's Speedometer is always kinda "busy"? Can't even use it at all...

This is my speed most of the time... for the past whole week, during daytime, doesn't matter if I disconnect/reconnect, on/off modem, restart PC, used a different modem, etc.. The whole daylight hours its like this!

Sometimes it gets worse..

Around 5:00 AM yesterday...

7 hours later...

Around 2:30 AM...

Rapidshare throttled badly.. I had to download this file again for the 4th time!! (the other times all did not complete)

I suggest you check your modem's modulation speed.

Screamyx new tactics?!

Since from yesterday night, I could not get any higher than this despite many attempts (includes disconnecting the line)!

Then at around 6 AM today, I simply disconnected the line, reconnect back and got this
What's going on here?

Port problem? Looks fishy.... Same pattern again (see my previous post).

Everywhere slow! Furthermore no announcement from Screamyx about service breakdowns!!

My RS timeout also, for the 15th time since yesterday/today and wasted hours of my time...

My total P2P bandwidth combined can't exceed 20KB/s (hovering around 15KB/s or less). A bit of recovery at 5AM but otherwise downhill all the way until this morning

Some sites are still awfully slow...
