the traffic shaper exempt list and it might be possible that
speedtest.net is added to the exempt list. Can you please repeat
the testing procedure we used? Its quite
simple...
Hmm...I think they have added the entire Internet into the
exempt list. So how do I test the connection now?

WGET for Windows
1. Extract the zip file to C:\wget
2. Start up a Command Prompt. Start | Run | cmd | OK
3. Type in this and press enter afterwards:
cd \wget
4. Type in this and press enter afterwards:
wget
http://anapnea.net/~benlee/1MB.anapnea.LatecomerX.file.zip
5. When that finishes copy and paste the last line into here. It
will look similar to this:
09:52:45 (120.40KB/s KB/s) - `1MB.anapnea.LatecomerX.file.zip'
saved [1048576/1048576]
6. Type in this and press enter afterwards:
wget
http://www.blacksburgpower.com/~benlee/1MB.blacksburgpower.LatecomerX.file.zip
7. When that finishes copy and paste the last line into here. It
will look similar to this:
10:03:20 (175.20KB/s KB/s) -
`1MB.blacksburgpower.LatecomerX.file.zip.2' saved [10485
76/1048576]
Those speeds I pasted to anapnea and blacksburgpower is what
`()cpZ! who uses SingNet achieved. They aren't really big servers
and their speeds can vary during the day.
Both test files are only 1 MB each and were freshly created
using:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=./1MB..LatecomerX.file.zip bs=1024k
count=1
Once you have your results please come back here and paste them.
Also paste what speed you are on.
omg. The zips contain the Win32.RumourSpreader.Virus !!!

StarHub is capping international websites. To answer your question,
if it was Odex all protocols and ports both local in SG and
international would be speed capped :p As to "Why the heck would
StarHub cap download speed to such a low limit?" I answered that in
my original post:
StarHub is capping intl websites to 10-15KB/sec
quote:
This would suggest that StarHub is maxing out their international
bandwidth and have put this in as a band-aid solution instead of
upgrading their backend haul bandwidth.
That Odex part was of sarcasm to them. Or did you just forgot to
switch on your left-brain?

It could be the server, as mentioned in the article, or it could
be due to network connection latency with a high ping delay, which
is why SingNet have came up with PingPower
specially suited for gamers. Besides, DL/UL speed is not a major
factor in online gaming, unless you are running 1,000 instances of
the same game application. You can try sueing StarHub for not being
to handle that number of connections for your gaming
purposes.

have been wrongfully quite hostile. No need to shoot the messenger.
Go and unleash your anger where it rightfully belongs, on your ISP
StarHub, in their official forum. Take the time to register at
their forum and tell them in that thread I started that your not
happy. After that tell people you know who uses StarHub to go and
post there also.
You might ask why bother posting there? Simple StarHub believes
that complaints about their service are "few and far between" and
also they believe that "we do not agree our connection is slower",
posting provides a rebuttal to both of those beliefs.
I'm looking forward to your results.
No, I'm just hostile to a 1-day newbie who post such stuff when
his fingers does not receive impulses from his brain.
