A lot of my friends complain to me about their slow streamyx speed. Actually, I’m having the same problem too. It is also hard for me since I need to surf the internet everyday to get my works done. From my reading through the internet not a long time ago, it seems that Tmnet has throttled the bandwidth among the users. It may be because of heavy load of P2P connection by other users. As far as I know, every user should get their right for their port. Tmnet should not take this reason as their main point in reducing the speed.
Streamyx also has slow access to United States based server. This blog is hosted by Dreamhost in California so streamyx user might have problem accessing this site. Sorry for that inconvenience.
How to fix the slow streamyx connection?
The basic think you need to do is tweak your internet connection is by optimizing the TCP/IP setting. What is TCP/IP? Well, basically it is the suite of communication protocols used to connect host on the internet. If your TCP/IP settings are configured properly, you can achieve good speed with your broadband connection.
The second step is to optimize your internet browser. We will make the browser suit the type of your internet connection whether you use 512Kbps package or the 1 Mbps package. Both Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer can be optimized using this tweak.
The third step is to get avoid from traffic-shaping by applying some tweak for your favourite torrent client. This is very useful for P2P fan.
The fourth and the final step is a manual way , which will be revealed at the end of this article.
How to do that?
Before this, it is very hard to tweak all those settings using regedit tools to edit your Window’s registry. You might do some mistake and it is very troublesome.
Fortunately, today there is one software that enable you to apply the first and the second step in just some clicks. For this tutorial, the software that we are going to use is TuneUp Utilities 2006. You need to pay it if you plan to use it for more than 30 days, but for don’t worry since it offers all function during the trial period. Get it here and install it as usual. You will only need to use it once.
1) Open the program. Click “Optimize and Improve†on the main window, and then choose TuneUp System Optimizer.
2) At the start page, select “accelerate downloads and Internet surfingâ€Â, then choose the type of your connection.
3) So, click next. After that, restart your computer. Settle.
How to avoid traffic shaping and the final way to optimize Streamyx
You can learn from these articles on how to avoid traffic shaping to top bittorrent client program:
Prevent traffic shaping on Bitcomet
Prevent traffic shaping on Azureus
Prevent traffic shaping on Utorrent
Now, the final method is going to be revealed. What are we going to talk about is related with your IP address. You need to know your IP address first. So, go to this site to check your IP number.
If you got another number than 218.111.xxx, and 219.95.xxx, be prepare to reconnect your ADSL modem until you get the IP number started with that. This method is known as hammering the B-ras. Why do I say this? It is because sometimes, IP address other than that will have a problem accessing online games, IRC, due to slow ping time. It is related with technical aspect and I suggest that you also learn stuff such as IP range from Wikipedia to get a clearier view about it.
Well, we have just finished doing some tricks to optimize our internet connection using streamyx. Does your connection improve? If yes, then congratulation. If not, maybe we will have to wait for a few days hoping it will become stable later.

TMNut tu macam yg terburuk sekali!IP 60.XX.XX.XX yang terburuk,IP 218.XX.XX.XX / 219.XX.XX.XX asalnya bagi yang 1 tahun 365 hari tak tukar IP punye VIP customer guna punye,macem syarikat besar atau ape-ape.. ni ialah Direct IP..tapi tak tau ape problem customer biasa pun boleh dapat IP ni,tapi TMNut sekarang sedang repair dan mungkin September atau Disember tak boleh dapat IP yang macem ni lagi…TMNut Screamyx~~~~

kalau nak tukar IP,senang je…tarik keluar wayar TEL,dan masuk balik bagi reconnect…kalau yang bukan auto connect,disconnect dan redial semula…TMNut Screamyx~~~
