| P2P Users Hog 87% of International B/Width
Was reading Jeff Oi's Lemak Lemang blog and noted the following stats provided by TMNet regarding P2P usage i.e. "a minority of 13% Internet users are sucking up 73% of bandwidth" It is also stated that total international b/width is 17Gps with future upgrade to 21Gbps.
Hence, 73% of 17Gbps = 12.41Gbps and not 10Gbps as stated.
Fully utilising 12.41Gbps assuming all the P2P users are on 512kbps, this would require 24,238 users.
If this represents 13% of TMNets Streamyx subscribers, there are a total of 186,448 Streamyx subscribers.
Queries:
- Thought Streamyx has about 500,000 subscribers?
- 20K+ users are able to clog up the country's international bandwidth?
Somehow, the numbers don't add up, maybe it should be GBps? Anyone know if these stats are available anywhere in the public domain? |

To be fair...
If TMNet not allowing P2P...
they should put it clearly in the R&R...
they should not have ban/proxified users...
But whatever it is.. there is still other method to bypass TMnet p2p throttle-ing... |
