sri_lion said:What a stupid policy!
This is total shit.. its totally owned by Telecom Malaysia.. but Telecom Malaysia has no such rules here!
This is purely to save their bandwidth and earn more money!

) were totally utilizing the whole bandwith & it affected almost all the other users who use the internet for other purposes like web surfing, email... etc
AlienX said:hey,
Wimax is a shared bandwith technology. You cant blame anyone as its how the technology is implemented.
FUP was introduced as the heavy users ( heavy downloaders..) were totally utilizing the whole bandwith & it affected almost all the other users who use the internet for other purposes like web surfing, email... etc
& their were lot of complains from all those other users for the browsing speed becoming slow... & thats when FUP came into play.
As a result inthe future all the heavy downloaders will be handles in such a way that wont affect the normal users...
I cant reveal technical information on how they do it because this is a public forum.
for your information machan...
there is something called CIR & MIR for the connection. when you say "I have 1Mb/256kb connection" it means that your MIR is such. your CIR is very lower than that. So you cant blame if you dont get 1Mb/256 all the time. Coz what they gurentee is the CIR, MIR is something which you can go for if there is bandwith left, you cant blame anyone coz broadband is shared technology & so is wimax.
CIR - committed information rate
MIR - Max information rate
This might go away when they further expand their internet bandwith

sri_lion said:Not good enough bro! their business expansion is non of our concern, why do we have to pay for someone else's bandwidth?
Where's the value for consumer's money?
dj-nitehawk said:hmmm... i wonder y u defendin dialog??? mabbe u work 4 them?![]()
anywho... i know all about the technical side of things when it comes 2 broadband... mind u i do have an IT degree
we are not complaining about the fact that broadband services like adsl, wimax, etc. could be slow at times...
we are complaining about the fact that dialog has intentionally mislead the consumer... (they do not clearly advertise the limitations of the service)
besides, this is not the way that proper isps handle p2p traffic... proper isps impliment a QOS layer... web/email/voip/etc traffic is given priority over p2p traffic.
the bottom line is, we are only askin for them to deliver what our moneys worth.
what's the point in paying the full price of a unlimited/2mbit speed connection when in reality, u never get what u pay for???
if they cant deliver (due to technical reasons or whatever), they shouldnt charge such a high price!!!

Machan,
If you read the end user agreement carefully you'll see that it states "user should not use any type of P2P or Torrent applications".
& this new policy will not totally limit your downloads like, "you can download 4GB & thats it no more internet".![]()
Its not like that.
as an example now with slt adsl users being everywhere no one is getting the full bandwith. correct me if im wrong.
