[KeV-TEC]

Bunch of rumours man... just power down ur modem n try connecting again. Sometimes, speed can be slower due to overheated modem. In my case, it is the pesky ZTE modems.

 

[KeV-TEC]

but last time i download stuff very fast... just that since last month its getting slow.... n then my modem is cool enough also it still download slow nowdays... last time even its hot also still download fast... sigh... dunno la... just hope that it will be back like last time as soon as possible... cuz every1 also complanning its damn slow n found it hard nowdays...

Nonsense la, it's definitely a rumor... government might try to control piracy, but not to an extent to lower down our internet connection speed.

I assume you're using a 512kb streamyx package... because i am using it. Btw, i felt that the streamyx broadband connection has slightly increased its speed these days... cos last time i use to get only around 30kb - 45kb/sec but now can easily i can reach 60kb/sec.

Btw, i'm from sunway... it depends to location too sometimes...

My friend who stays next to me has a 1mb streamyx package, can easily hit 100kb/sec downloading musics... hehe... go figure..

I'm not sure when anybody felt the slow down but I called up tmnet bitch center last weekend and they said there was some problems in PJ area since last Friday. Seems to be alright today so I'm not too sure about it.

And this should be in the Science and Technology section.

Some of you give TM Net too much credit. They don't know jack shit. Which is why they keep screwing up. Which is also why it has been slow these few days. Somethings fucked up and they were fixing it. What exactly fucked up, we'll never know for sure because they're not exactly transparent.

Any network heroes here who did some digging and found out what exactly did they screw up?

TMLag is so slow until this thread took 4 weeks to deliver.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd definitely attribute the increase of speed to the higher bandwidth. If you would check your router or modem, i think you will see a 1024kbps downstream and a 512kbps upstream. :)

But some modems put those figures to bullshit people. hahaha The previous ZTE that I had always showed that figure but when surf net while TMCRAP having problems and slow like a dead slut, it still show 1024 kbps downstream. hahaha

But I do believe that figure could be modem model specific. heh heh

err .. previously my modem shows 512/256 .. now showing 1024/512 ... but download speed about the same only laa ie. around 500kbps when i tried to bench it .. i oso wondering why laa .. i guess will have to ask TM whats my speed laa .. but my package is the 512 package laa .. hehehehehe

 

[BlackSamurai]

check my connection speed testing at home, i can't even load GOOGLE.COM!
speed slower than 56K modem.

filed few complains, TMnet gives standard answer, guess it's pre-program,some auto-reply stuff. Really pissed off. TMnet is still charging me RM66 per month.

I'm technical person, i know shit above won't work.

speedometer test result provided by tmnet.

Fellas, the speed shown on your modem is the line speed, basically what speed you are capped at by TMNuts. Your real speed on the other hand can only be known by the speedtests. You're supposed to get at least 70% of what you subscribed for. If you don't, please give them a piece of your mind. Bear in mind though that the call centre personnel are about as helpful and knowledgeable as a cucumber. So please get them to make a report.

 

[BlackSamurai]

the TMnet exchange node at my area is overloaded i guess.

 

[si|verfish]

Doesn't matter, that's their problem. If you don't get what you paid for, give it to them good.

i guess that wont be sufficient enough, yes we can shoot 99 them.. but what they can do? all the while streamyx cheating customer, offered 1mb (quite slow to me) but only received 500+kbs.. even if u notice last week newpaper, minister of energy, water and communication publicly shoot and minta TM upgrade their streamyx package so to keep what they hv promised! For now, everyday ping the line la.. so grab more line... lolxx... macam me kena clon redi ... lolx


KeV-TEC,

i guess its not downgrading, they wont be so mou liu la.. downgrade mean no many to gomen wor.. who wan do tat.. ard which area u r staying? maybe the streamyx user in ur area increase, thus for sure line would be slow lo.. on9 when ppl r sleeping la.. lolx. or u can upgrade ur ram..
