Malaysian TmNet StreamYx Optimization Guide - Page 2

Hmm... the noise level?

NeoSquall · 26th May 2003, 10:07 PM

from the guide.. the noise level is depends on ur modem...

Adrian Wong · 26th May 2003, 10:52 PM

Hmm... I have yet to read this... guide... but according to another guide I read (by John Navas), there's really nothing much you can optimize in an ADSL connection...

I go dig it up...

Adrian Wong · 26th May 2003, 10:56 PM

Ahh... here it is...

John Navas' Cable Modem/DSL Tuning Guide - http://cable-dsl.home.att.net/

Note : This guy came up on TechTV before... and he's been in the business for some time... so he's pretty certified.

On another note : ARP oldtimers will remember him as the brother of the notorious troll Jim Navas.

yeah... there isn't much u can do with adsl optimizations... juts as dial-up modem optimisations.. it's all just theoratical improvements...

might as well, spend the time tweaking and go earn some more money instead and get a faster streamyx line

goldfries · 27th May 2003, 09:42 AM

that's why.........what is there to improve? download speed is dependant on so many factors, it's very hard to do a proper benchmark on the speeds cos there are so many variables.

DSLreports' test is nice, but then the other factors involved will be our the connection between the modem to the copper wirings and to the many nodes, there's no consistency.

so if i tweak i'll download 0.2k faster or 2k faster? LOL..........i won't waste my time on getting slight tweaks when i'm already on 384k download speed. and not full-time downloading anyway, furthermore streamyx is 24/7 and we could just leave it on to download while we sleep.

i'll be interested in tweaks then make TMnet not drop my line.

Jeremy · 27th May 2003, 10:42 AM

Jim Navas! LOL! I wonder how is he doing now???

OK well what if..... your connection disconnects and you have no idea why it does that and then you can't immediately log back on.

The stuff i've read in these guides they also help you diagnose the problem and provide solutions.

Theres nothing magical when your not able to dial up to streamyx and others can.

It's some technical problem you just don't know how to fix.

Anyway speed is important especially when you play games like Counter Strike like i do.

You can see how much lower pings you can score when trying to reconnect to the same cs server.

Heck faster the better what

I'm not sure paying for a better adsl line is practical for the main stream people in Malaysia o.O;

the 111 malaysian ringgit and below is the only ones you can get. I'm using the 111 myr package.

Why do over clockers bother over clocking their hardware then ???

Free extra performance

hm... firstly... it DCs because of DSLAM... am I correct ? correct me if Im wrong...

secondly... heck.. I can tweak my cs to get more lower pings compared to an 1mbps line... 20 - 40 ping... wat u think ?

lastly... the rm111 and the rm88 package is the same... only for rm111 u have to pay the rental for the modem... since they offer u a modem when u get the rm111 package... but as for rm88 it doesnt... and same goes to rm60 package.. that one is something like prepaid... just u can use for 60hours only.. haha

peaz · 27th May 2003, 01:16 PM

urm the thing is.. it's already fast if we access local servers... BUT no matter what u do, you'll never get low latencies from servers abroad simply because TMNet do not have the capacity for the required bandwidth....

so few lines out of Malaysia shared by SOOOOOOOOOO many users.... how la can get >100ms ping time???

i think can get >200ms from a US server also happy.
