Title: Streamyx Speed from 1.5 down to 1.0 Mbps
Post by: goldfish on July 21, 2011, 08:42:47 PM
Dear fellow Bolehnian,

Greeting, I'm goldfish and i'm with BolehVPN (intermittently) for about 2 years. Great service and well done, Boleh!

Well, back to the topic, recently, say about 1-2 weeks back, i started to experience slower streamyx speed, on torrent or speedtest.net, my original speed was constantly 1.5 Mbps but since then reduce to 1.0 Mbps, and I think another 2 streamyx line in my house experience the same issue. (Both my house and office located in Penang, Gelugor)

Anyone experience the problem mentioned? or Streamyx is capping us down?

Good luck,
Regards.

Yes, that is apparently their new policy; anyone who had previously benefited from a free upgrade to their 1.0 Mbps have now been capped back to their original subscribed speed. Complaining about this is useless as this is the original speed we paid for. Get used to it; I have. I hope the entire TM staff develop hideous boils and vomit slugs for the rest of their lives!  ;D

Thanks mate. Coz I call to Streamyx service center and the lady don't know what to answer, just keep on telling me my line is fine.

Well, this is what we paid for. Still, i strongly feel that we are paying too much for too slow of speed.

Kill BN, and we stand a greater chance of getting better Telco services and better internet.

Thanks again, all the best to you.

Regards.


ohya, i like the quote, common sense is not so common.   ;D

Same issue here, I got from a stable avrg 150kB/s down to only 100kB/s in utorrent & I reside at Prai area in Penang.

But recently I find something that's quite troubling me, BolehVPN always got some kind of network error whenever I used the proxied settings so I always get "Proxy connect error: offline (timed out)" in utorrent, it happens to most of the proxied settings & I always get the same said error. *refer to attachment*

I tried the routed options but the download speed that I'm getting usually below than normally the speed that I could get from proxied settings, although at some times it will disconnected itself also.

What's more weirder, I don't have any trouble at all surfing the net & streaming from youtube, but only p2p is affected.

Is this problem normally happens? Do I missed something? What should I do about this? This is not happening before, but only till recently.

Take screenshots of your uTorrent settings (Connection Bandwidth Bittorrent Queuing) and post them here please. Could you also post your log for the Proxied All?

Disable uTP bandwidth traffic management.

Also the torrents you are downloading have rather poor seeder/peer ratios.

Okay, I've disabled the uTP. May I know why if its okay? Does the other subscribers need to disabled theirs also? :D

Sometimes uTP automatically throttles the connection when it detects congestion

µTP works to maximize network throughput while reducing network latency and congestion - it is designed to slow itself down when the network is overloaded (when sending and receiving would only make things worse!) - the result is a win-win of faster downloads for users with lower network impact for both users and ISPs.

Now with Streamyx almost always congested :P

But if you're using your downloads go from 150 to 100, you may want to go to speedtest.net without VPN and see what's your max speed to a nearby server. They may have capped you lower.

I see.. Thanks Reuben for clearing it up! I really appreciate it! :D

Yup, I did go to speedtest & it is exactly as U said, they really did capped my speed from 150kB down to 100kB & lower sometimes, it started to happens this month. *sigh* (-_-"    )

Have U heard about this link which is about Astro B.yond IPTV? I just found out today from my friends & Its too good to be true! (=_="   )

i guess the "maintenance" by streamyx few weeks ago was to implement this. Reducing speed of us which get the free upgrade to 1.5mpbs....

Thanks guy for reply, actually I now having new problem.

Since today (Monday) afternoon, I noticed my download with uTorrent3.0 repeating a similar pattern, after VPN connected (to wherever Proxies/Locations), the download started like usual, however, just after few minutes, the connection drop and eventually stop everything. Some times, the downlaod may start by itself but stop after a few minutes, and it created a 'wave' following each other on Download Chart.

This pattern repeated :
1. I stop all torrent in uTorrent (or restart uTorrent) and restarted it, the download started and stop like described above.
2. I reconnect VPN (to any Proxies/Location), and still the problem persist.

The problem not resolved by restarting Streamyx connection or Router. I perform speed test on Speedtest.net, it look like my connection is just fine; I tried several youtube video from nasilemak2020 and it just stream excellently well.

Some one blocking p2p connection ?

I need some advice.

Thanks and have a nice day.


Regards.

If you are using your download, from 150 to 100, you may not want to see the VPN speedtest.net What is your maximum speed to a nearby server. You may have to reduce their cap...

You do realize that your post makes no sense whatsoever, yes?

It's one of those spambots, slightly more intelligent in that it takes posts and jumbles them together. I deleted it so it shouldn't be around for a while.

So basically, I was driven to irritable fits by a spambot. My dignity is in tatters!  ;D

Hi Reuben, u mean 'bandwidth management' ? no, i let it enabled.

I still experience such problem for past one week: the connection is very not good during week day but almost full speed only in weekend,  for example, I downloaded almost 15Gb for past weekend, and the speed started to slow down monday evening. It remain same for whichever server I connected to.

again, I try restart modem / router, reconnect VPN, restart uTorrent, it just dont help.

any idea what is happening to me?


Regards.

I have experienced the same thing. My line is fine, no disconnections but only slow speeds. Used to download 160kb/s for a torrent file but now the max i see is 100-120kb/s and is unstable. Am on a 1mbps line btw. Maybe Tm net is upto something? Streaming too used to be fast. streaming at 150+kb/s but now is lowered these past week.

Yah, Schadenfreude made the point. TM is cutting us down. :(

Any one ? I still having same problem, even I change from Streamyx to DiGi 3G.

Post by: Chris on August 13, 2011, 11:33:16 AM
I don't know about Digi 3G, but your streamyx line could also be affected by bad routing. I noticed you were on the 115 IP range, can you get any other ranges? Visit myip.dk with the VPN off, disconnect/reconnect to the internet, recheck at myip.dk. You want the first two blocks of numbers to change, eg 124.13 to 60.50. The 115 and 175 ranges are particularly bad.

What sort of speed will you get during the week?

I think I have almost the same problem as U, but I'm not quite sure.. This happens just around 4-5 days ago.. Same things happened also whenever I try to use FullyRouted-All or Proxied-All settings, until I find using a more specific settings like FullyRouted-Netherlands or Proxied-Canada which was a bit more stabler & faster to connect but after half an hour or so it will too get the same unstable connections.. See attached files..

1st pic shows utorrent having a very unstable connections for each past hours in proxied settings.. (its the same problem whenever using other options like FullyRouted-all or on any specific settings & countries)

2nd is the logged text from the BolehVPN's proxied-Canada settings when those unstable connections occurs..

3rd pic is from last month when the connections was so stable that I can let utorrent goes for 7 days non-stop, total accumulated download size is 52.4 GB & for upload is 9.2 GB (which is capped at 25), & at this time I use FullyRouted-All settings, if I remembered correctly it was connected to Netherlands & it got no problems at all until this past 4-5 days..

4th & 5th is the most recent text logs copied just after I waited for a while & get it connected again, I thought U guys might needed it.. :)

Juz a while ago I try to go to http://myip.dk/ the link that I saw from Chris's post above & I get 60.50.xx.xx of IP range, so its in a good range right? :D

May I know why is this unstable connections happening? Thanks in advance. :)
