Really? I don't get 50% more and in fact I get slightly less than (let's say 512kbps). I"m located in Penang.

So when streamyx says 512kbps, it is for local or overseas sites? I assume they meant local only.

if u r on streamyx, the local speed u will get is as below

512kbps = 1mbps in speedtest.net (kl server)
1mbps = 1.5mbps in speedtest.net (kl server)
2mbps = 3mbps in speedtest.net (kl server)

TM Net usually give u 50% more speed as they know that they are oversold. therefore, they give extra 50% speed so that u will be able to boost up near to the speed they sell to u.

however, most of the areas r not able to get the speed as i stated at above.
only certain areas that the infrastructure which is well maintained will be able to the such speed.

Yupe, I did that too. I sometimes test on the Europe site as well. It depends where the server is located. You're right and most of the servers are from U.S.

I guess the reasons why we choose for the closest side is to make sure the ISP promise what they offer. If I subscribe 512Kbps (download) and 256Kbps (upload), I should at least get this full speed when I test it in local.

for testing malaysia link to the international's speed,

select new york, then u will be able to see how much u able to get for the international links. always use new york as international links benchmark.

coz if u select malaysia(cyberjaya/kl) or singapore, u will sure get the full speed.
but the internet is for use on those international sites, so select new york will be the best benchmark point.
