Not to crash your party, but you do realise now a lot of us streamyx users are suffering right? I'd hope they throttle it back...

The last thing i need is to hear some guy getting 200kbps download on their torrent for their iso, hi def movie, anime, while we can't even get 10kbps for our emails.

Normal days, I'm all for you guys getting full speed. But at times like this, official businesses comes first~ can't believe i'm actually saying this, streamyx throttle them up!!! :S

It won't be long before they catch up with this new torrent.

Dude refer to this page, it says uTP/UDP is hard or yet impossible to throttle.. So, do you have anything to say?
Oh yea, about your slow e-mail thingie... Try restarting your modem, maybe you're getting a lame IP..

Here's the page.

It can, and it will be throttled sooner or later. I myself do the occasional BT, i meant who doesnt?
But, with the recent SeaMeWe 4 undersea cable breakage, and the hundreds of thousands of users which have more legitimate and pressing internet uses, i'm saying it's 100% legitimate for them to throttle it down.

I'm all for throttling in such situation, but apparently, TM is not doing a good enough job if you guys are still getting 100kbps tongue.gif
If it's service as usual, I don't really care about the BT issues, as long as we all have enough of the BW for all our usage. But in cases where normal browsing or mailing activities are effected, the last thing on your mind is BT. Just like how maxis turns off sms read reports during high traffic times.

Your BT client will definitely need to know that this packet of information is meant for it, instead of some random data that happens to come across its port, since it's in TCP/IP there will be a pattern for uTorrent to recognize and assemble the packages. For now, maybe the networking equipments aren't patched to recognize this pattern. But sooner or later they will.

There's no way of getting past the networking equipment if they're alerted to your present.

encrypted torrent traffic beats the networking guys back then, but now, it's throttled too.

If you torrents, I'll assume you should know better than to believe NOTHING is unstoppable.
There'll always be virus - anti virus - virus definition update - updated virus.

Same thing here, it'll be a matter of time before this will get patched too.

i think its not whether someone is draining bandwith bcos of BT but its in fact TMNUT responsibility to see that bandwith is enough for everybody despite of BT.

Yes correct, bandwidth was enough before the SeaMeWe 4 undersea cable breakage, but with the breakage, internet services is in a degraded stage.

And in this degraded stage, I believe it's acceptable for torrents to be stopped altogether tongue.gif

Wow... the fact that tmnet has to honour us with at least 70% bandwidth we paid for n not 20% n we got other ppl b****ing that we suck up the bandwidth... instead ask tm where the hell is ur 70% not blame ppl actually eat the whole cake that they pay unlike others that eat only a few slices n throw the rest away.

I see some who takes this very personally, or seems to be highly agitated.

Well if you believe your torrents are more important than other uses of the internet, at this critical times... i have nothing more to say.

We're in a degraded internet service state after the undersea cable breakage. Normal internet services are effected now, the last thing on my mind is your torrents.

As you say, eat a few slices and throw the rest away.
RIGHT NOW, there's NOT ENOUGH SLICES to go around.

Like I said fight for ur paid service... even at my 80kb/s i can still access my email accounts easily. Its either u got a bad, ur modem has closed all its ports (basically starting to hang) or tm has given u a bum deal. Go blame them for ur bad service.

N btw google, yahoo n msn have local servers for our emails so there is reason u cant connect to them unless u r suffering from one of the faults mention above.

Hello brother, the world doesn't just starts and end with gmail, yahoo and msn. Again, it shows. I'm not continuing this with you anymore.

xcen, there're still a lot of users who're having a hell load of troubles accessing US based servers, be it for web browsing, mails, or WOW.

Streamyx rerouted the traffic during the breakage, and they're stumbling in their work to reroute traffic accordingly after the cable has been repaired.
