who will be so stupid ?
Is been a month i've submitted the upgrade from 512kbps to 1Mbps...
But still nothing... some more speed slower...
Including me :)
My connection sucks (no surprise here) as it gets disconnected every 30 minutes or so. I'm on 1MBps.
Anyway say you really get 4Mbps. TMNet will surely do some packet shaping and slow down any P2P activity. That means no downloading movies etc.
Also with their packet shaping, they also filter out and slow down legitimate uses of fast connection like video conferencing etc. So it's 4Mbps. What is the point?
i definitely agree with your brother.
i noticed that lately, it has been a pain to access non-malaysian-hosted websites. takes ages to load.
imagine having to update my blog when i need to upload a lot of images. its really painstaking; i could have done it in half the time if only the connection is better!
I couldn't get a good connection during the weekends and school holidays. Early this month Streamyx was playing with me the "i-will-disconnect-you-every-15-minute". Probably the best time to get things done on the Net is around 2 to 5 am.
I also experienced the same game with streamyx....mine may be every 10 minutes.
For me, 1MB already enough to do my internet business and sometime will take extra time to upload the large size file to server, but not everytime.
I hope they improve the service and make the connection more stable. Sometime the connection slow enough, open google.com took more than 20 second to open the website. Usually I open the google.com less than 2 second only.
Honestly, I also just want the stable connectivity. :-)
Thank you
If TMNET can convince everyone that with 4Mbps plan, you'd get at least 1Mbps for international connection, I think many will be enticed to try and pay for it. Otherwise, try harder next time.
Say... we now have one million plus broadband subscribers which is still a very small percentage of total Internet users (12+ millions, or at least 4 million active ones) -- that's well under 10% of Net users, or under 5% of Malaysia population compared to many other nations at 60% or higher of their population! And I think TM really needs help although they don't seem to care about asking for such help. (It's TM Business GM, who was TMNET Head of Sales three years ago brushed my concerns as "solicitations" -- TM continuously claim they are doing good and on the right track, for at least 3 years now)
How can we get more people on broadband in Malaysia? Think, we'd need a poll soon. Choices would be: 1. open up the last mile; 2. reduce the price; 3. offer free broadband to all (metro wifi etc). 4. NEW REGULATION: all new computers and housing/office units built MUST have broadband. 5. Free broadband for one year for all. 6. More education & awareness 7: more local-centric killer applications 8: bring mandatory Internet thru Astro or MiTV (satellite) etc..
Liew and others with huge authorities on the Web (like traditional mainstream media like The Star, NST, Utusan, Harakah, MalaysiaKini and Berita Harian etc): Can you please come up with this poll?
Why can't they solve everything after years?
as you said,
is TMNet, a trusted brand?
We all already know that.
TMNET is making me crazy for the past 72 hours. Calls to customer support at 1-300-88-9515 can get you busy/engaged signals, and once connected, they'd make you wait for 10 minutes or more (while earning millions of ringgit a year from customers paying at 8+4cent/minute for these "customer care" sessions), and tell you, "have you checked your modem, your firewall, your auto-manual connection, your anti-virus, your OS version, your bad internet habits, and finally, oh, we'll still investigating it". Why can't TMNET Customer Support stop insulting the intelligence of their customers? They haven't seem to improve all these five years I've become their customer.
If you'll be bad mouthing about TMNET, make sure you remain anonymous, hehe! TMNET has spies all over the Net, and will come and get you! haha.
I heard the coming up Penang phone is better boardband much much better than Turtlemyx, cheaper and faster ..I'm looking for the better connection.....I planning to jump ship if got other better Boardband connection. Wish coming up more ISP rather than let one party to monopolize the market!! What a F@ck turtlemyx!!! Really a Ringgit Sucker!!! All the BEst to new and more ISP coming up, then user have more choice to look for better service than the ISP will increase their capabilities and give BEST service to users rather than current practise!
dream on till your dream comes true...........................
I'm a Malaysian, currently living in Australia, and I get 24Mbps (adsl2) download speed with 786Kbps upload speed, for the price of AUD$100 (think of it as RM100 a month). I get to download 60GBs a month, which is far more than enough.
I recently went back to Malaysia for a holiday, and I was really disappointed with the speed of connections to international sites. Sites like YouTube? You'd have to press pause and wait quite a while for it to load first, before it plays. Sometimes, you've gotta wait for more than a minute. Here in Australia, once you load the page, the video plays smoothly in that instant.
I'd rather TM give me a 40GB limit and give me a fast and smooth connection, rather than give me unlimited bandwidth but the slowest connection ever. Even loading sites can sometimes take a while.
Will 4Mbps make a difference? I doubt it. They need to improve and make some changes to their service first. Well, they have the government's support and funds, they monopolize the whole broadband business, and yet, they're so far behind? Reminds me of Proton.
I HOPE.....
Please Say It Loud! I'm already sick of it! I pay for 1 Mbps but my speed never be more than 300kbps since early 2007!!!
What else you want me to say rather than IT IS TOTALLY SUCKS!!! :-(

Will only perk up if complain a lot especially if made around 10.30 pm to 12 midnight.
They then conveniently upgrade your lines to keep you quiet.
I was one of the first to register for streamyx when it within the first month of its launch. Recently, the I could not get a connection for 1 whole $#!@ month and then when the connection came back, it was at half of my usual connection speed. %$#!%$#@! those fellas and after four to five official complains and threatening to speak to their manager or top boss, I got my connection back.
Next, my line broke every other 10 to 15 seconds! Shoot in the final %$%$##! complain and finally it got better.
Guess what? I am now connecting at 3Mb/800Kb for DnLoad/UpLoad. Recently, due to a change to Windows Vista, I have to change the ADSL modem and my connection speed is now at 3Mb/1Mb for DnLoad/UpLoad.
Really needs a lot of ^!%@#$^!# to get things moving.
When wimax will reach Malaysia?
i tell u, the SOHO streamyx 1mb is totally than home user streamyx 1mb... i did testing in office and i noticed that office broadband is faster than home streamyx, the speed package is same as home use package, upstream and downstream also same... but y is so damn big different?? office broadband faster than home package??
streamyx is like coconut...u know that coconut??
S'pore broadband is better than this *** broadband - 4 Mbps service will cost S$58.80 (around rm110) and 30 MBps service is S$121.80 (around rm300) which one is worth?? msia 4mb or s'pore 4mb?? if msia have 30mb package i believe the cost would be more than rm500!!!
my friends live in s'pore said "hey, how come msia broadband is slower than mine? promotion is so hot but remain slow??" i dont know how to answer to my friends!!! is so damn shame!!!
really *** la our broadband!!! this streamyx only know keep the money into pocket and pretend nothing!!! today kena kantoi and be good person to speed it up, next day become shit!!! every day eat abalone abalone abalone!!! eat shit la!!!
i had just realised that person who incharge this broadband is so damn kedekut!!! kiasi!!! the lowest broadband connection speed is STREAMYX!!! and also so damn kedekut!!! purposely slow down that p2p speed!!!
please la *** streamyz.... make promise already but never did it!!! streamyx-cheater!!! promotion damn geng... rm77 1mb get a lot free but speed slower than snail!!! is no different with that dialup 56k!!! i suggest tmnet not to take broadband agreement if never make promises to users!!!
any way, for those who is trying to register streamyx, please think twice or more than twice!! is not worth to register streamyx!!! we pay for nothing!!!
