Don't worry you're not alone on this. I'm living in KL and my 1MB broadband connection is like a ISDN line and usually slower!

What should we do to make TM realise their screwing with our money?

Same problem here in Malacca.

Well, not a complete fix for the terrible Streamyx speeds, but ever since switching from TM DNS servers to the free http://www.opendns.com service, accessing sites, including overseas ones, seems more brisk and responsive. So far no timeouts and instability like you get with Streamyx DNS servers. Worth a try!
It's frustrating especially as I have some of my websites like http://palmdoc.net hosted in the USA....

Thanks, Palmdoc. I will try OpenDNS :)

surf in the morning. the speed is super fast... my streamyx only slows down at night...

I don't think OpenDNS will make a very big difference. I'm using it now.

yup, im using openDNS, not much different..the problem i think is the congested international trunk.....ehhehe oversubscription of user?

Yup, surft at low traffic hours (early morning) is faster.

I am using OpenDNS now, it is better than TMnet DNS. :)
More detail report coming later.

im from kl and i got this problem too...

I living in Kuantan... and i seriously have problem with darn TMnet d!
when i was 1mb...my speed was only bout 30kb than i downgrade to 512k and the speed now is around 20kb...
What is wrong with TMnet?i went to complaint and they said my house area is using older port so the speed slower?!

did you guys check your router for the line speed from the tmnet trunk to your line ? that's important. I am subscribed with a 512 kb package but my router shows I'm connected at 1MBps. Sweet

Good luck, Colbert. :)

I got stuck, I'm fail to get/open my email lately? It is a server problem? I've tried many ways but still failed!!!!!!

Do you heard the rumours that TMNut already slow down your BT connection? I heard they want to follow Jaring Packages.. Pay based on your total download per day. Is it true? BTW before this my BT download was around 200kbps but right now its about 50kbps and I cannot surf to other website if my download already reach to 50kbps.

@moskau12: I don't see the slowness here in Johor.

yeah.. im so mad about streamyx speed especiallt while downloading using torrent.. we should all complaint to TMnet so they no all its user are not impressed with its service

well well well,

TM net try to reduce n block connection using P2P to overseas, especially torrent..except for local tracker

is very slow......i download a file at a speed of 2 kb/s using streamyx...zzzzzzzz so slow.....

try use vpn h**p://www.secureix.com/

It's so damn slow!
I'm tired of 1Mb rumour! X_X

how can i make open dns? and where do i get that DNS?

FIRST OF ALL... 1 Mbps means "one mega-bit per second" not "one mega-byte per second". This is what confuses people.
8 bits make up one byte.
so,
1024 bits X 1024 bits
= 1,048,576 bits / 8 bits per byte
= 131,072 bytes
= 128kB/second
b = bit = one lightbulb
B = byte = eight lightbulbs
(1024 is used instead of 1000 in byte-metrics)
125kB/s is just the limit the line could go. You still don't know how fast the servers and TMNet is.
Now, I think its TMNet that is slowing things down. They have not upgraded their servers for years already.

aku juga selalu bermasalah dgn tmnet. nak kena slalu komplain baru diorh nih buat keje.

tp apa2 mslh pon diorg tetap nak salahkan pc dan wiring rumah kita. takkanlah nak buat wiring dan beli pc sebulan sekali sedangkan problem tu dtg dr diorang.
nih la mslh kalau 1 syarikat yg monopli bisnes nih. cuba kalau ada saingan mcm antara celcom,maxis, digi dan lain2 tu. baru la servis akan jd bagus sebab masing2 nak bg servis terbaik
