Heard that Belkin is offering lifetime guarantee, not bad ma after considering it. The only concern is the brand might not work for my “twilight zone” line. Modem found “kapuk” in my line, wservice center,ork perfectly well at the service center after complaining. I don’t think there is any dealer that would dare to warranty for lifetime on my lousy line. There must be disclaimer hidden at the *. I guess the dealer would say it is my line issue, not a modem issue, go to fix your line.

Me…registered early Jan this yr, until today cannot get the net access. Called TMnet, they told me that they have problem with cables. Huh! Doesn’t make any sense at all. I live very close to city center (at Ampang Hilir, surrounded by embassy’s residences) and yet, unable to get connection. Am using RIgel modem (comes free with the Streamyx) and as usual, the LINK led is blinking all the time. Dont’ know whether its really a cable/network problem or something just not right with the modem. Till today, no one come to look and fix the problem.

I have been subscribing to Streamyx for 1 1/2 year. Changing modem for 3 times already because the blinking issue. So far, have tried with the brand Billion and Rigel, given by TM. The 3rd one, less than 3 months use, it started to blink again. Not sure if this is a “lousy” brand, or line issue. Anyone could comment on this? think of getting good modem after all this.

@Dean: exactly 19 minutes? I think something (hardware/software) disconnect you after certain period.

@Young: just got rewiring whole phone line straight from phone post to my phone socket. RM40. Not sure my mom paid cash or included in next bill

@Silverlsle: glad that your problem has been solved. I bought WAG200G for RM239.

I called the Streamyx hotline this afternoon. The technician guy came this evening and checked using his modem, said the line is perfectly stable and it is mostly due to my modem problem. So I went out immediately after some short surveys online and came home buying a Linksys WAG200G at RM260.

FINALLY~

1 desktop and 2 laptops going online for the whole night just now without dropping the connection at all! =D

Dear Liew,

Do you pay for the replacement of the cable?

For me, it’s included in my next bill.

Hi. I came to your page while I was doing some Google searches regarding my current Streamyx connection issue. Almost the same as yours, the ADSL light kept blinking, and the connection is very terrible when it’s raining.

I’m installing a wireless router in my house soon. So before that, I would like to know whether it’s my modem problem or it’s the internet line problem.

Looking forward to your next update regarding your Streamyx connection issue. All the best to both of us in solving this. LOLz.

I am using a Netgear router. Love the interface and firewall rules. You should try it. Sure beats linksys routers

Thanks for the suggestions. I will get a Linksys router modem.

@Mr. Rajawang: my ZTE modem is about 4 year old!

@KennyP: TMnet or TM also the same number: 100

@kljs: thanks. I tot USB modem is not good. Anyway, my home network need a router.

@Andrew Ooi: I doubt Telekom know me. The phone line and Streamyx account is registered under my dad’s name. Maybe I have better contractors here?

@Mr Henree: Yes, Belkin router is one of the best too. I don’t advice to buy a product because it has so called “lifetime warranty”. Note that if the product has been discontinued, there is no warranty for you.

I have used Linksys WAG200G for more than 3 months.Till now I feel it works better than any other modem I used previously.You may buy it because the price of it is reasonable cheap.

One more thing to add, “It seems that you all are Linksys super fans, huh!” Please dont shoot me back.

I recommend Belkin. It provides Lifetime warranty. I’m using the all in 1 Wireless ADSL 4 port router modem. No problem at all. It would be a liltle pricey compare to other brands. The “Lifetime warranty” comes 1st in my mind.
