They should actually tell us up front, and tell us exactly what their policies are. Then we know for sure if we want to change ISP or not.. Yah it is overloaded, the network itself seems flakey under heavy load and I spoke to some of the Tmnet technical department and they said the International links are WAY overused. They even told sales department to stop letting new people sign-up as the service is already terrible. But they won't listen. Wordpress? Yah moved over for the new year man, it's mature enough at version 2.0 to do everything I want, or has the capability with plugins anyway :) Wan Zafran: Totally agree man, they should be transparent with what they are doing…not just change things whenever they feel like it.

But at least over there they explicitly mentioned how much you were allowed to use before you were capped, and whether you would be shaped for excessive bandwidth usage or not; and most importantly, to what extent you would be shaped. I think that this lack of informing the customers is downright dishonorable. But hey, I guess that's Malaysia for you ^_^ I don't know, but I think their next move would be to block the common Bittorrent ports. That would be the day when Malaysians gather in unison for a public uproar against the Streamyx service, hehe. The problem with Streamyx is that it is (or seems to be) overloaded, and yet those TMNET bastards still continue to pump new customers into the system. Better your services first and at least help us achieve 70% of our speed first! Argh. P/S: Oh, I just noticed.

Usually it's just purely based on protocol, like Bit Torrent for example, the ISP equipment would have no idea how big the file is you're downloading, so it will just shape the whole transfer, giving it a lower traffic priority.

In Malaysia? Aisehmen. This is so not cool. And what if we're downloading, say, huge-ass files, like torrents? Is the traffic shaping based on time + download amount OR is it only dependent on the download amount? The least that they (the Streamyx company) could do is inform us, the customers. Asses.

For the whole of last week, the whole of selangor was experiencing line interuption. You pay for 1Mbps, you get connection no better than the rinky-dink 56k dial up i use to have.. It's just utter crap and they don't seem to give a rat's ass about it.. Pretty shitty this here Streamyx. For the whole of last week, the whole of selangor was experiencing line interuption.

The best I EVAR got was around 230ms in Malaysia. Would LOVE to see a screenshot of that. <strong>James:</strong> Yah I quite often use shoutcast streams too, during peaks times it's pretty pointless, I've even set a massive pre-buffer and it still breaks up. It's ok in the middle of the night, especially at lower bitrates. XTC is amongst my favourites along with BBC Radio 1, Digitally Imported, Bassdrive and a couple of others. It is a shame we can't listen at other times, as well the radio here really blows. senbai: That’s quite incredible, somehow impossible? The best I EVAR got was around 230ms in Malaysia.
