Fair Usage Policy

This is something that i guess most of u wants to know. TM Net have a new look to their website and a new policy applied to Streamyx users and this will solve all those slow BT questions of yours.

TM is committed to ensuring our customers receive the best broadband service at the most competitive price. To achieve this goal, we provide a contended broadband service. This means our Internet bandwidth (capacity) is catered to be shared by all our customers at any one point in time, to ensure we provide a satisfactory and acceptable performance on an equal basis to all our customers.
However, a small number of customers use more than their "fair share" of the Internet bandwidth provided by us. On average, about 10% of our customers are using a disproportionate amount of Internet bandwidth. These customers degrade the performance of our broadband service by taking bandwidth away from other customers, who use the service fairly.
For example, some customers use P2P or file sharing software, which constantly sends and receives videos and other types of very large files, throughout the day. These activities (download and upload continuously) use a lot of bandwidth and can significantly reduce the connection speed, which other customers are getting to access the Internet during peak hours. We don’t believe this is fair to the vast majority of our customers.
We wish to bring to your attention our traffic prioritization policy with regards to P2P and Fair Usage Policy. We would like to reiterate that the P2P throughput is subject to peers (seed) availability and their throughput as well. Kindly note that TM does not have any control over peers’ availability or throughput.
The Fair Usage Policy automatically identifies the extremely heavy users and manages their bandwidth in order to protect the service of all our other customers. This traffic prioritization policy will protect the quality of service for the majority of our customers when they use the service, while at the same time, still allowing the extremely heavy users to continue to send and receive files with certain restrictions. With this policy in place, we will prioritize Internet activities like web browsing, live streaming, messaging applications and VOIP access while traffic to P2P sites will be given lower priority, due to the high bandwidth consumption of such services.
We wish to also highlight that as an Internet Service Provider (ISP), TM only provides access to the Internet and does not guarantee content delivery and performance where it is not within the domain of TM as an ISP. In fact, our international traffic management policy is designed to cater for all our customers so they have an optimal surfing experience within the normal limits of Internet usage.
As our priority is for all our customers to have a positive Internet experience, we wish to emphasize that it is important for all our customers to practice responsible usage of the allocated bandwidth based on normal usage.
We would like to reiterate that we are not against the use of P2P but we would like to educate our customers that the usage of excessive P2P does impact the overall service availability to our other customers.
TM does provide every customer with an allocated bandwidth, where other customers may use when not used by the others. Unfortunately, the nature of P2P more often than not, takes more than their allocated bandwidth, thus causing undue setbacks for other users when they want to use the service.
As a responsible service provider, we believe it is our responsibility and commitment to educate and encourage responsible usage of the infrastructure we provide.

The above is taken from their website. So if your BT is slow which stuck around 20kbps then u noe the reason behind it, if u still get great speed, good to u..

Something to Introduce

Today after lunch i accompanied my gf for a hair cut near the place we stay. Before that, it was a saloon but im not sure of the name then 2 trimester ago changed to a new saloon and we yet to try as many times i went there they are not open yet so this time my gf is able to try it. The shop name is called Zero Degree, quite 'in' rite the name...
When we enter the saloon, its nothing different than those saloon in melaka just something like classic cut. So we have a thought that the price gonna be around RM15-RM20 for a female hair cut but since we are alredi there, so giv a try.
So after she had her hair cut, then when we gonna pay that time, the hair dresser told us that it cost only RM8, wow that's really cheap. My gf was kinda surprised with the price, so did i. So i think next time which is few weeks time, im gonna try have my hair cut there.

RAM

RAM or also called Random Access Memory is a type of computer data storage . It is very common to all computer users as they need it in their CPU in order to run it and in today's market, most computers have at least 1GB of RAM installed in order to have applications run smoothly.

Lately was having trouble with my RAM (I guess), therefore, have some taken out so took sometime and shot it using my cam. Here i wanna show the difference between single sided and double sided RAM. Actually there isn't any difference just that some motherboard might not able to support double sided while some they cant mix it around so that depends on the model of the motherboard.

The RAMs i have here is a Kingston 512MB PC3200 DDR and Apacer 256MB PC3200. Then you can clearly see that the top one has memory module while the bottom one does not so this is to show the difference between single sided and double sided. Double sided have memory modules on both sides of the RAM.

Plan

Few more months and I'll be graduating and soon i'll b stepping into the working world. So it is almost time for me to look into the options i have. I guess this is not just me, but my fellow frens who is currently in the final year. Every year, our university will invite some companies to our uni to provide some talks to students to provide them some idea about what they might be looking for and what they should look for after graduation. Currently, there are companies having walk-in interview session in our uni and those who are interested can just drop by with their resume and try their luck. Besides that, this coming April, Student Affairs and Sports Division of MMU will also organise a Career Fair and invite several companies to conduct their walk-in interview here in our university, so my fellow frens, if you plan to get a headstart over others, this is the time for you to do so, get urself ready and talk the opportunity with it comes.

Fireworks

To mark the year 2008, every country will have their own celebrations and during the celebration there will be fireworks everywhere. So on the new year's eve, on the way back from my grandma place we passed by Sunway and saw fireworks being blast out and many cars stopped at the road just to view it.

We also stopped there and i came out from the car and immediately setup the tripod and my camera to get some shots. Since this is the first time using this camera to take fireworks shot so im not sure of the settings and wasted the first shot due to overexpose. Then 2nd shot was ok and so does the third one. But its still not good as it is not well prepared and to get a good fireworks shot, we need a good tripod, a remote shutter release and also a black cardboard.

The fireworks lasted few minutes only and to my regret i cant celebrate with my darling as she is in melaka preparing for her exams. I wish that we can celebrate together next time and also all other special occasions.

Online Streaming Program

I think most of u have heard of this and im sure that many using it to watch your favourite show whether its live or normal broadcast show. I wrote about this as i think many still don't noe about it and dunno which to use. Personally i've been using all these programs for few years to watch my favourite football match and also some cartoons. Below are some of the programs that i used and i think you might also like it. For your information, ur connection must have at least 512kbps and above in order to stream it and get constant connection.

1. Sopcast (this is the one i use the most as it has quite a variety and easy to get connected).


this program is in english so easy for all and you can download it at their website.

2. PPMate


this program basically is in chinese but can be changed to english interface. Used to be very good but dunno y lately quite hard to get connected to peers. Software can be downloaded at their website. The list of show available are not just from PPMate but also others such as PPStream and PPLive. If you wanna watch tom and jerry and shinchan, this is the one u are looking for.

3. TVU Player
This is another online tv streaming program which have better interface. They do not have variety of show for you but the quality of the show is better. Is another alternative to the above. U can download it at their website or u can also view it there. Channel guide is also available there.

Besides the above there are quite numbers of them but they are not that good and less variety therefore it is not added here. If any of you found any nice program or website for streaming, pls leave a comment thanks!!! hope u all enjoy it!!

Digital Audio Format for Handphone

Now a days when you have a phone which can works like a MP3 player, the thing that you want to have in it is songs and mostly people will put in the songs under MP3 file (eg: .mp3). I used to put that type of audio files into my 256MB card but only able to fit in around 30+ songs depends on the quality of the encoded song.
So, while I was having a break from my exam revision, I found something which i think useful for those who wants to fit in more audio files with less space. Introducing AAC HEv2 codec encoding or known as eAAC+. With this encoding, you convert your other audio file to something.m4a which now a days most handphones and portable audio devices support it. I found out that the size of a song from the initial 6MB(mp3 file encoded using MP3 LAME-one of the best quality) to around 2MB only!!
Many sure things that the quality will be very poor as the file size is so small but surprisingly the quality is almost as good as CD quality which hardly able to differentiated between the file before encoded. Maybe my earphones(HPM-70) is not the best in the market but seriously to those who wants to fit lots of songs into your audio device, this is quite a good choice.
