SHARE!

SHARING IS CARING.

Kadang² ayat ni rasa macam sedikit gay-ish. Tapi dalam Islam, pembahagian sama rata dan bahagian pada yang hak adalah jelas lagi termaktub. Walaupun apa yang aku nak tulis ni sememangnya tak ada dalam agama, tapi jangan lupa, kehidupan kita inilah sebahagian dari agama kita.

Sebenarnya aku nak menjawab entry aku sebelum ni tentang review poyo aku pasal wireless broadband. yeah,rite..sungguh lebar kan jalurannya?

Sememangnya aku ada sedikit (banyak sebenarnya) ganguan perasaaan apabila tau yang aku dah sampai kepada limitasi trnsmisi. Frustrated. Kalau ada Support staff yg jadi jiran aku, nak aje aku BUZZ dia tanya apasal. Mungkin dalam hati dia akan maki hamun aku sebab aku ni tak belajar dan tak paham konsep. Jadi, itulah yang nak aku perbetulkan dan memperjelaskan lagi kepermasalahan yg terjadi sebelum ini.

Alhamdulillah, sehari selepas aku takleh pakai Streamyx, skrang dah stim balik! YEY.

Apa itu fair usage policy (FUP)? Kalau kita buat carian dalam internet, jarang kita dapat tahu apa makna sebenar fair usage policy dalam Bahasa Malaysia/Melayu. Err..kalau nak diterjemahkan dia akan jadi lebih kurang sebegini: "polisi penggunaan sama rata". Pergh...terbelit jugak la medulla oblongata aku! Ekeke..

Kemungkinan (selalunya) semua penyedia jalur lebar dalam Malaysia akan mendakwa bahawa mereka memberikan akses jalur lebar tiada had (unlimited broadban till ur head pop out), namun mereka tertakluk dalam "polisi penggunaan sama rata" itu tadi. Ini adalah untuk memberikan sekatan kepada pengguna yang menggunakan bandwith berlebihan. Dalam kes yang paling ketara adalah pengguna P2P (peer to peer) seperti LimeWire, BITtorrent dan sebagainya untuk berkongsi file masing² secara virtual.

Depa donlot apa? lagu software,shareware,MP3, video klip artis terbaru, movie terbaru...termasuk cerita lucah dari uganda...ini adalah most favrouite item even aku tak pernah donlot mende camni kat torrent. nak aku bersumpah kat masjid wilayah gak ker?

Jika anda berada dalam keadaan yang mana bandwith anda terlalu tinggi, aku rasa korang kena cek balik kontrak yang korang tandatangan kepada syarikat tu, yg depa kata bagi unlimited broadband sampai pecah kepala tadi, bahawasanya itu adalah pembohongan semata²...<<< style="text-align: justify;">Aku memang serius bengang bila mana aku dapat tahu yang aku dah exceed (terlebih) penggunaan bulan ni sampai 5G. gila kepe..kata unlimited. Tapi, inilah polisi yang kerajaan kita pakai (kerajaan negara maju pun pakai gak sebenarnya untuk elak hogging) untuk memberikan peluang kepada orang lain untuk merasa "syahdu","nikmat" broadband wireless di negara Malaysia ini.

Kat sini aku nak tepek kan apa kata TM dalam FUP ni:

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.

Kenapa depa ni kecoh² sangat kat manusia yang pakai P2P ni? Hmm...tak ramai yang boleh jawab persoalan ini. Aku bagi contoh kat kedai mamak. Sekarang kedai mamak kat KL ni belambak bagi wireless percuma, kat JB pun ada beb...bak kata pepatah, Malaysia ni sama maju dengan USA. Tapi orang USA je yang jakun tak reti pakai SMS. Apa aku merepek ni? Okay, P2P tadi. If korang ada 8 orang satu meja, samapi mapley tu lepas Maghrib, maknanya korang lah crowd yang terawal sampai.

Jadi, katakanlah jika wireless mapley tu berkeupayaan memberikan service wireless dalam kuantiti 200mbps (katakan). Jadi, kita kena ingat, wireless adalah menggunakan kaedah sharing atau berkongsi! Jangan malu untuk membahagikan 200/8= 25? Hmm...korang jangan lah kecoh² kat tokey mapley yang buta IT tu kata wireless depa slow nak mampos. Tak nampak?

Ini contoh kedua: korang pg mapley dengan kawan baik atau awek korang. Korang pegi berdua. Alah tak kelas la mamak...korang pun kata "Ayang, jom lah lepak Starbak Kopi, situ lagi standard, lagi lju wireless dia". Dalam hati korang,sure tak ramai lepak sana sebab kopi ais dia lagi mahal. So, korang lah manusia terawal yang dilengkapi dengan laptop berkuasa tinggi datang ke kedai tu. Disitu juga memberikan servis yang sama. 200kbps. Apabila dah dibahagi dua : 200/2=100. Korang berdua dapatlah 100kbps seorang. Laju lah sikit dari dial 1515 cam tok nadok punya zaman dulu...

Tengah² best layan chatting, Friendster, Myspace, Facebook, dengar lagu....datanglah sorang mamat ni. Nerd je muka dia. Dia punya laptop pun IBM yang tebal macam file lawyer zaman 80-an. Skali dia on laptop tu, korang tak tau dia nak pakai P2P. apa jadi? Korang tengok nih:

200/3=66.6+. Tapi bila mana mamat tu pakai P2P, korang punya kelajuan automatik bawah daripada 50 atau 40kbps! Amacam? Tak paham lagi kenapa depa ni hangin sengkudu satu badan kat pengguna P2P. Menatang ni memang pelik...dia boleh "sedut' bandwith jiran² dia.

Ini juga samalah seperti penggunaan broadband talian dan broadband wireless.

Aku penat type. Kepala baru je okay migraine dah dua hari. nanti aku cerita lagi pasal 3G wireless.
