I’ve added a new poll to the site (right hand corner) - Streamyx Users - How many gigabytes of data do you use per month?
TMNet has recently starting to put the amount of data you used per month in its monthly bill (in Megabytes (MB). 1024 MB = 1 Gigabyte (GB)). You can read more at the Lowyat forums.
Apparently, 87% of you visitors to this site use TM Net Streamyx (995 votes). It’ll be great if you could vote on this new poll - I’m coming up with some calculations and observations on TM Net’s network capacity and subscriber data usage. You can see how this might be useful to lobby for better service.
Quick note: To all the people reaching this site searching for terms like “tmnet”, “throttling”, “p2p”, “bittorrent”, “blocked”, “streamyx blocks bittorrent”, and various other permutations - yes, it is apparent that P2P is being throttled and blocked by TM Net currently. Some hints: There are some ways around it, but you will still get very very low speed. And yes, you will get better results using local trackers.
Also, some users are telling me they have difficulty accessing the iTunes music store. Are you Skype and Steam users affected too? More news soon.
