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. 

Read the Policy @ Streamyx

Well, I have been a pioneer user of their broadband service, Streamyx. I guess I understand the situation faced by them as I believe they lack the infrastructure to cope such situations. But that does not mean, as a user I sit down for weeks and have really irately slow speeds of connectivity.

When I mean slow, Well imagine taking 30 seconds to a minute to load Google’s home page and I’m on the 1MB package. Sigh. Im currently hunting for alternatives and I’m sure most of you who live in or work in Malaysia do. Well, below are a bunch of other broadband ISP’s and solutions that I would recommend. Including WiMax options. There are actually more options, but they don’t seem proper somehow. 

• P1, WiMaX
• TimeNet
• Maxis Wired Broadband (Requires Maxis Fixed Line)
• Celcom Broadband
• Airzed, WiMaX
• Jaring Broadband
• PenangFon, Fiber Optics Broadband (The prices seems reasonable, I would like to look into this further. Anyone?)

How do you work with this two terms? I would like to hear from you. You could help me to improve and as well share it to the rest. On the other hand, here’s my two cents. 

Strict Schedule - Before that, do plan a realistic time frame and then stick with this. This applies to basically everything. From house chore to blog postings. Force your selfs to be discipline towards your schedules. Do not compromise for another event unless important. 

Practice - You have heard this before, “Practice makes perfect”. It may be tough in the beginning but carry on and you will be used to it in no time. Don’t stop. Trust me. I did that and I had to go through the whole cycle again. 

Focus - Keep your priorities appropriate. Do what needs to be done first. Keep room for rest. All this minor notes eventually helps in keeping you focus on your main task. As for me, I have to multitask every single day. I do drain out but I been working on realistic schedules and it is slowly working well.

So, what else could you add to the list?
