Im sure most of us here are on TM Net's streamyx. But did you guys notice on the right hand side bar of your latest Streamyx bill, there's a counter which states the total of data downloaded/uploaded, which mine is stated about 29GB. According to my friends who are studying in Australia, Australia has a similar measure implemented, where if you d/l more than a certain amount of data, ur speed will be capped. For instance, if ur running on 1MBps, it might be capped to 768kbps and so on. Frens from another forum has also confirmed this by saying its a matter of time b4 they do it. But in Australia, you get speeds of 10Mbps. Thats y they can afford to do this. Another thing since the earthquake episode that damaged the subamrine cables last December, I've notice a slowdown in Bit Torrent downloads, most of the times 0kbps downloads. Again according to the frens from another forum, it seems that TM Net is blocking out P2P d/ls. Although they have denied it by the numerous complaint emails that have been sent by my frens. Apparently, TM Net cut off international seeders, thereby if that file has no local seeders, u cant d/l anything! Is anyone else experiencing this? Anyhow i have found a way to work around the bit torrent issue but the if the speed cap thingy really gets implemented, where is our rights when we signed up for the unlimited package? Y is TM Net doing heavy promotion and accepting Streamyx application by the thousands when you cant widen the alredi congested bottleneck? Anybody has any insider news? Pls share your comments.
