Talk about slow streamyx,

I was a Streamyx 1M user before, but I'm now using Maxis Broadband, 3.5M (like it is, really). The best/highest speed I get for download is around 70kb/s, the average is 35kb/s. I will return the bloody modem to Maxis once the 1-year mark is reached. I will revert back to Streamyx, and to all Maxis broadband personnel, I give you a HUGE 1 Finger Salute! Go to hell! Especially to your founder.

keep dreaming, live with the fact that we live in Malaysia.

I was in japan until 2002, they started to use fiber optic at home already
I used streamyx since 2005 for 1Mbps plan... and it almost 2008...
still 1Mbps?
....or maybe for the next 2years?

we can complain, but what can we do?
NOTHING

this is what-so-called democratic country

I think Monaro is correct, because I was getting good speeds like 117 two weeks ago but with many disconnects. Now my speed has been capped to 512 but I getting an average of 27kbps download these 2 weeks with virtually no disconnects. I have 1 Mbps account and I only use my account on weekends(12 days amonth) and they still cap my downlaod speed. Funny thing is my upload speed can reach an average 40kbs.
2GB limit can't even fill a DVD-R. For a 1Mbs unlimmited account we should be able to download 10.5GB of data within 24 hour that what we are paying but I'm getting only about 2GB per 24 hour with a torrent of mostly other TM net users
This is what happens when the goverment protects local companies they begin to follow the Proton trend o screwing the Malaysian people by lowering quality to make more profit and as Malaysian we are expected to bend over and ltake it.
Well no more, I can't wait for the next general election, my chance to shove a stick up their ass :)

Just got an info on streamyx. They have followed standards from other countries. People with 1024 Mbps internet speed will be lowered to 512 Kbps during Peak Times. If your total download reached certain amount (2 Gig), streamyx will decrease your speed as well, which also affecting your web browsing.

I used to go 100 KBps for downloading movies from local malaysia but they limited the speed already.

Based on the info I received from Top Management IT Officer in Kuching, they have installed traffic shaping.

After they put control on our internet used, frequent internet speed go down to the extend the broadband speed is slower than the modem dial-up account. Also, Streamyx has also paused/disconnected our internet connection for a couple of minutes to give other internet user a chance to use the internet. The reason the internet stop moving is because of the traffic shaping equipment they have installed.

According to MCMC, Internet Broadband company must provide an excess for 256 kbps speed at all times. Unfortunately, streamyx speed has been going down less than 256 kbps.

According to MCMC, this already a breach of MCMC Quality Service ACT. We can get our money back for the slowness caused by streamyx.

not sure of maxis in penang eventhough i'm a penangites (haven't heard anybody using it).

My previous employer use TIME broadband, bloody fast, but only can work for some office premises (like gurney tower).

Other than that, I believe we gonna stick to streamyx for few more years :)

Re: Bloody Slow Streamyx (Part 3)

I've heard maxis gonna open a new broadband service soon. But currently there only available in Penang and Klang Valley.
