Slow TMNet International Connection?

Filed in: Tmnet — August 1st, 2006

Recent few weeks, my friends and I discovered that TMnet Streamyx is slow when connecting to International web servers.

TMnet’s speedometer shows that my line is normal speed, but I get a different result from TestMy.net (non-Malaysia website).

TMnet speed test

107Kbps… It is terrible slow for a 1Mbps broadband line! For your information, I am in Kluang, Johor… A Johor only problem? :(

    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 tensen

    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
