I have tried changing download regions, malaysia, singapore and many other random countries, nothing works. Im wondering if anyone else has the same problem? <!--emo&:furious:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/vmad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='vmad.gif' /><!--endemo--> streamyx 1mb user btw planarangel Networks and Broadband Sat, 12 Nov 2011 07:06:32 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2100817 Recently, about 1 week ago, streamyx have been doing terribly, steam seems only limited to 30kb/s, skype constantly disconnects and i dont even want to start with my list of complains on torrents. So i have been considering alternatives to get around this problem, and one of them happen to be VPNs, i, however have no experience in that regards, so i have decided to ask the kind people of this forums a couple of questions,<br /><br /><br />1) do they work? with the amount of people complaining about how slow their streamyx is im not even sure if VPN will make any difference. Can anyone with VPN share how their net has been doing recently?<br /><br />2) The net, which is already terrible becomes even worst whenever someone in my family starts downloading with torrents, my games start to lag, skype disconnects continously and everything basically turns to sh&#33;t, <b>even when i am not the one using torrents</b> <!--emo&:furious:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/vmad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='vmad.gif' /><!--endemo--> &#33; their excuse is usually &quot;its only 3kb/s&quot;, but it still affects everything i do&#33; My question is, If i use a VPN, will it be able to get around that? <br /><br />3) How much does it cost usually? and can i get a few days trial to see if it works? <br /><br />Thank you for reading &#33; planarangel Networks and Broadband Tue, 08 Nov 2011 18:31:48 +0800
