I just call streamyx and have a long talk with one of their staff. I told her that I am lock into this 115.132 and 115.135 Ip which is very slow. Then she said my ip is dynamic, it will keep changing.
Then my blood really boil. I say: Yes, I know my ip is suppose to change but now it isn't. I'm stucked to this 115 ip and no matter how many times I restart my modem, it wont change.
You know what she reply me? She said: From here I can see your ip is changing. The first time your ip was 115.132.29.130. Then just now you restart, it became 115.132.228.223.
Maf***, I almost swear on the phone. I calmly told her that the 2 numbers behind doesnt really matter much. Its the first 2 numbers which make the differences. And now I cant get other ips except 115 ip which I hate so much.
She replied: You know IP address doesn't make a line slow or not. WTF She thought I stupid or what. Everyone is raving about this 115 IP yet she say doesnt matter.
Then she keep saying she cannot do anything because she doesnt know much about IP adress. Fark la streamyx.
those Screamyx Level 1 people really dumb. as far as i know, they are given a script and read from there. if they can't solve it by doing the troubleshooting, they will lodge a report for you. but a report is just a report, there's nothing they can do bout it.
so my suggestion is when u call them up, ask them are they from level 1 (which usually they are). skip them and insist to talk with CCD or Expert Team (level 2). Those are the people behind the system. if they say they will call you back, DO NOT TRUST THEM!!! insist to know who is the person from level 2 who will call you back and get his/ her direct number, instead of waiting them to call you (which i'm sure 99% they will not).
i'm gonna complain this 115 IP thing after i get my 4mbps line capped to 5mbps these few days

this fcuking IP has been bothering me since CNY. high ping time, slow connection, unable to P2P etc etc etc. this time gonna make it BIG. bark them everyday. bring in MCMC and media into the picture. battling with Screamyx is testing my patience.

Added on April 15, 2009, 3:01 amguys, i just changed my DSL mode from multi mode to g.dmt. it seems like my DSL status has improved a lot and my ping time is getting better, although still stuck in 115 ip.
DSL Status: Connected
DSL Modulation Mode: G.dmt
DSL Path Mode: Interleaved
Downstream Rate: 4096 kbps
Upstream Rate: 512 kbps
Downstream Margin: 31 db
Upstream Margin: 30 db
Downstream Line Attenuation: 0 db
Upstream Line Attenuation: 1.5 db
Downstream Transmit Power: 11 db
Upstream Transmit Power: 12 db
you guys can have a try to do the trick. good luck!

Added on April 15, 2009, 3:16 amguys, the trick above really works!! at least for me. now my P2P is running at full speed now. 350KB/s for 4mbps line!!!
now i know 115 IP can be speedy as well
