If you realize, we as streamyx users now can hardly download stuff such as MP3 and music video from P2P technology using P2P software such as Ares since TMnet has throttled our peer-to-peer connection. However, with some tweaks here and there we can stilll download those files using the same or another method.
Have you ever wondered why did Tmnet set up the bandwidth capping to our internet connection? Below ‘could’ be the simple reason for that…
“Speed kills”
I suppose that you guys know that it’s just a humor being featured in this site again.
I’m not sure if they would spend their money for such advertisement in the future but with streamyx, “nothing is impossible” isn’t it? In a nutshell, speed does not kill but carelessness do. So TMnet, will you give us our downloading freedom back again?

You think only P2P is throttled? The dark day has arrived, my friend. They are capping our normal downloads.

Although streamyx already throttle p2p but we still got way to by pass it.
Firstly, check your window Half open TCP/IP connection is how many. WINXP2 default is 5 only !! I suggested modify more than 512.
Secondly, MUST enable encryption function in BT, emule or other p2p software. After we enbale it, p2p will send packets through PORT 80. Streamyx wouldn’t block PORT 80.
MAke sure do this 2 settings. I live at KL,setapak. I can play BT (>70kbps),Thunder (>60kbps), Online TV, Online Game ALL at same time with 1mb !!

i just got throttled. this sucks man, as they even capped my normal downloads to 5-15 KB/s, that’s like what 10% of my 1mb connection???!!!WTF?!
and they have a neat way of concealing it;you’ll only have a few seconds of your full speed,then the speed goes down significantly.this way,when you test your connection speed anytime and ANYWHERE you’ll get the speed that TMnet wants you to see!.Sneaky bastards!
come on think about it,if i only want to surf,i will be better off with just dialup!what happened to those words;”you will be able to enjoy speed 100x more than dialup” ???! Big “fat” Liar.

Guys, I found a solution to the problem of Streamyx throttling our download speeds. It’s a free VPN (virtual private network) program called Hotspot Shield. It basically serves to cloack your current IP address and provide a proxy in the US. You’ll see your speeds increase dramatically and consistently. I’ve written in my blog about how to get set up with Hotspot Shield here:http://patricksoon.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-watch-hulu-in-canada-hack.html
