[vaxlor]

Do you know Streamyx already start capping our P2P bandwidth?
When a company got total monopoly for this service, they dont care about the performance or service.
We just hope there got some new competitor give them a real serious market threat.

when did they start capping and how did you noticed that they already capped our p2p?

hahah yea i guess all you can do is change to funny port numbers and hopefully it won't be a throttled one~ you guys got cable in msia or just adsl? never really looked at the services there since family already had streamyx

[vaxlor]

star paper post it few weeks ago when some reporter interview the person in charge at streamyx .. but they didnt say when it is gonna start doing it ..

[edkitt]

i live in malaysia too...but i don't have slow line prob as u said..56k. but i do have i prob, always need to reset modem everyday. and also, i notice that the line where bad especially during after raining days

i agree with it! bcoz i stay in kl. espeacially at the pick hour likes 3pm-7pm or raining time the line will down at all.

[Guystuff]

The best thing happens when i called them to complain bout anything is............ Streamyx(internet comp.) will say it's telekom's(house phone comp.) fault. And when i call up telekom, they will say it's streamyx fault.

WAHHH, seriously??? I don't want caps when streamyx's already getting slower than what it should be

LOL I like your post. It's so typical of them to do such thing, lmao I can so imagine them saying all that.

Streamyx suck lah i using 1mb account but my download only 5-10kb, sometime only 1kb. Terrible services, complain also no used 1 lah.

[anonymous1]

im using 1mb line too but downloading of bt stuffs i think it depends. if download is well shared and well seeded my download speed can reach 50-60kbps stabily. anyhow some downloads will only run at 5-10kbps. im not sure it is streamyx sux or wats the problem. but recently i can watch streaming videos like i did last time even with 512kb connection.

[salvator]

Now They will block your BT downloads.. Depends they see your transfer rates. Suffering for the lagging net connection

[toffees]

i don't think they'll 'block' users from using p2p (bit torrent, kazaa, etc). maybe they'll set a limit for users and in the papers they did say they're gonna state the amount of bandwidth each users users in their monthly statement. lotsa people are using p2p these days so it's like they're sucking up so much bandwidth and make other users who dont use p2p suffer

i'm on 512k and i get decent speeds, though it tends to suck after it rains.. bt speeds sometimes depends on the number of seeds the torrents have.

[ckwhy]

Yea....they suck! I have made more than 5 to 6 complains in 1 month. Still the problem is not solve.

[SupraTRD]

YES STREAMYX SUX all da way..

Their Advertisement saying tat if u use broadband tester... if u get AROUND 70% of ur subscription line then it is PERFECT.. WTF!? paying Rm88.for 70%... then tat means tat we can pay 70% of the line la? STUPID STREAMYX

No ISP is perfect. You should be considered lucky enough to get 512kbps with unlimited bandwidth and unlimited access. Although certain countries like Australia, New Zealand offered higher speed packagaes, they cap their user's bandwidth.

yeah, that is so true. i'm from malaysia(Sabah) but currently studying in Australia(Brisbane). They offer many high-speed packages here but it always includes a cap such as additional charges after the 20gb download/upload limit, or fixed price per month but the speed will slow down to 64kb after 10gb of download/upload. still happy tho, somehow i never got past the 10gb limit. And i never have any problems with speed, its always around what i paid for (512/128).

i don't mind like u cap my line for 20gb per month as i cant even go so high tho...
now the internet CONNECTION is so dam slow.. even browsing internet too...
if u charge us for 100% payment u also need to giv us 100% service... not we giv 100% payment u giv us 70% of the service or even worst...

wow..lotsa angry malaysians in here. does complaining to the company never work? now it makes harder because you cant exactly tell them that you want to increase the downloading speed of your torrents ..can u?

[angelzz]

well.. mine bitcomet ever reach up to 80++kb/sec with streamyx... only once in a while.. then usually it stay ard 50-60... so far i think it's still ok with me although still consider a bit slow sometimes..
but if u wanna compare with brunei espeed.. OMG tat's even slower.. only 2-15kb/sec.. wondering wat's wrong with the line..

[SupraTRD]

sigh... i jus dunno wwat is goin on with MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT does not wan to PUSH each of everyone to USE BB.... our internet connection i think IS VRY VRY BAD.... i wish some other ISP will come in to fight the TELEKOM @ STREAMYX

[pluto38]

Malaysia have ast world infrastructure & 3rd world mentality. One signup for UNLIMITED PLAN for RM88 per month (ADSL 1megDOWN/128kUP). So one expects they can be ONLINE for the whole 30days..

If you cannot provide enough bandwidth, then dont signup more customers.

In singapore one can get for a mere SING$125 for 25megs DOWNLOADS SPEED!!!

You are right... I think the ADSL line in Malaysia is GOOD BUT they DO NOT have enough NODES to support so many users. ADSL works something like this - 1 Gig pipe shared by 100 people, therefore each get 10 Megs. In the case for slow speed that Streamyx is experiencing, - 1 Gig shared by 10000 users, therefore each get 10kb(if my maths is correct)... I know it is a poor analogy... but you get the idea.

You need to live in REMOTE places where there are very little users.. you will then get good speeds.

Download CAPs are BAD!!! I think I easy use more than 10Gigs a month in bandwidth with all the updates, podcast, vidcast and ISO images I download all the time to keep my system up to date. Imagine downloading a copy of the latest Knoppix 5 (0.7 Gb), Fedora Core 5 (3.5 Gb, Suse 10.1 ( 3.5Gb), Mandriva 2006 (3.5Gb), Gentoo ( .. unlimited? ), Ubuntu etc... Now, if you are a GoogleVideo fan or a Youtube fan... I think you will easily hit any cap limit!

[simplysimple]

I hate this crappy internet service provider too...My downloads in bitcomet always at the speed less than 10KB/sec. If I am lucky enough, I'll get 40KB/sec but it only lasted for a a few minutes.

[ch1ck3n]

streamyx is like proton...
both oso eat our money...

haiihh...
but at least got broadband

[wanson18]

at least now bt speed is getting acceptable now...but nothing like a few months back...now i struggle to get 50-60kBps stable....last month was the worst...5-10KBps...bottomline streamyx sux

[shadowblitz]

maybe i'm lucky, with many seeders i still get my max speed, 60kb/s. I using streamyx 66.

they are blocking the p2p ports. just change the port numbers to something weird and uncommon. and also if your client support, you can enable protocol encryption. then the damn TMnut will have a hard time tracking us.

there is other ISPs.. like Jaring and TimeNet.. but they suck even more. so unless a really capable ISP is coming up to fight the ****ing TMnut and streamyx, i dont think we will be able to get 10mbps before we leave this world... sob...

[ken_zie]

sometimes i could download a mp3 in a few seconds... sometimes it's damn fast... but most of the time, it's slow... even worst is that sometimes i just couldn't online... there's one moment when i couldn't online for 2 days...

[XFury]

now my BT is getting better 50-60kbs for a files that are alot seeders, with old bt files get really slow speed , i guess it's normal after all
now streamyx are charging rm10 to reconnect the line after they stop ur line temporarily for outstanding amount.

the problem is the amount we paid is consider alot comparing to other countries .if you dont calculate the exchange rates, because the money you earn are spend on the countries itself.
and yet we get this kind of services, n no need waste your telephone money to call their customer services , totally bs . they will give alot of excuses rather than really help u through.
These company are lucky because they have no real competitor here,

[shole01]

that's pretty cheap compared to a adsl/cable internet connection here in australia
I pay about the equivalent of us$50 for my cable connection
10Mb(more like 5Mb) down and 256k up
and only 20gb peak/40gb off peak downloads

[kongps82]

I think Malaysia's user have no other choices than using streamyx as it is the best internet provider or the largest provider in Malaysia. We will just have to live with it. But I think recently, a 2mb speed package had been introduced by streamyx. Anyone subscribed to that package?

[wengjoe]

i say again....Tmnet don't block any P2P client like BitComet

as i can see form my peer list,i'm receiving kbyte from other country outside of MAlaysia

do refer to lowyat forum for more infor and update about tmnet.

if your BT is getting less then the usual speed,do use PE as a temporary solution

although i do hate Malaysia broadband,but for most of us....is the only alternative....what is there to complaine about.

and one more thing is that tmnet backbone is realy sufficient as it have to support so many user and tmnet did't plan to upgrade it and keep getting in new customer

you can't realy blame tmnet aslo because our malaysia people mentality is the same,got unlimited access mean must have to download 24/7.....you guys should know that BT is bandwith killer.

[darthvader98]

TMnet didnt block the P2P client. they just cap the speed.

The funny thing is that sometimes my bitcomet download speed will go up to 50KB/s and sometimes will go down to 0KB/s. When it go down to 0, then I will have to stop bitcomet, exit and start again. Usually, a few times everyday. How's that for consistent service from TMNut!!

[mryoghurt]

lolz....dude i agree with you streamyx sux...but that is the only option you have....there is no alternative choice unless the gouvernment willing to do something about it....

[hedycyy]

i am using streamyx too... agreed with you man... but what to do... u may try other service provider if your place do support...

for me, only streamyx is available... cant do anything...

man, just cool down...

[pluto38]

I guess we are all stuck using streamyx.
I wish JARING will quickly launch their WIRE version of broadband.

At least it's an alternative.

Now i still can download torrrent at max speed, in Perak. In KL is pretty congested.

[mmlsz]

man .. the tmnut is monopolising the whole broadmand market in Msia
we have not much ISP to choose from !!!
hate the government and the corrupting leaders

[Wordplay]

@ mmlsz

Sounds pretty bad. By what I have read, New Zealand had a similar situation a little while ago when there was only one, monopolized company. Thanks to this, the country is still pretty backwards network-wise but at least developing. Malaysia is probably still in the cave.
