TIME Netlynx, 10Mbps Broadband Connection for Malaysians?

July 30th, 2008 | Category: Malaysia, Technology | 8 Comments

netlynxNetlynx, a TIME dotNet company, is offering 10Mbps broadband connection in Malaysia, which is 2.5 times faster than TMNet Streamyx 4Mbps broadband package.

However, it is currently only available in Nusa Idaman, Johor and Damansara Perdana, Selangor.

The Netlynx 10Mbps package is RM499 per month. Compare to Streamyx 4Mbps at RM268 per month, Netlynx is a better deal. Netlynx also offer lower speed packages at 2MBps, 4MBps, and 6MBps.

As seen on the Netlynx broadband package list page, it has started in year 2007. I feel ashame that I haven’t heard about it until recently.

Has anyone tried Netlynx? Is it stable and reliable? If so, I might consider moving to Nusa Idaman (nearer) or Damansara Perdana. ;)

When I need more screen space, I buy a bigger monitor. For my friend, Weilian, he has a smart way to get more screen spaces without buying a monitor!

Tshirt: The Internet was Closed…

July 15th, 2008 | Category: Interesting | 7 Comments

In case you were wondering about the t-shirt I wore at the Webmaster Malaysia Gathering. It is “The Internet was closed…” which I bought on Threadless, an online t-shirt store with user submitted designs.

the internet was closed
The text reads “The internet was closed so I thought I’d come outside today.”, with an arrow over the line.

The design is simple, plain text, or we call it “type tees”. But, I like it. It applies well to a fulltime blogger like me. ;) In fact, the design is so popular that it is currently out of stock! You need to wait for Threadless reprints if you want to get one too.

I like to shop on Threadless because the t-shirt designs are unique and beautiful. I bought more shirts on Threadless than in shops. :)

Do you have other online tshirt store to be recommended? Preferable with geek designs.

P.S. I LOVE ThinkGeek tees but, too bad, they refuse to ship to Malaysia.

Streamyx Down and Fixed, again

July 14th, 2008 | Category: Tmnet | 21 Comments

Just like many other Malaysians, my Internet broadband service — TMNet Streamyx — was unreliable in the last week. The Internet connection kept on disconnecting. If connected (lucky!), it was snail speed broadband connection. How to solve the problem? I called the free service number “100″ for 3 times and the technicians troubleshoot my line for 3 times to fix it too.

1st call

My line was very noisy. Called 100 and opened a file. The next day, we received a call from TM technician asking if the line was clear (without visiting my house). Yes, it was clear at that moment. Few hours later, the line noise is back. Streamyx was also down. Called 100 again.

2nd call

The TM technician came in the morning and I hadn’t woke up (typical liewcf’s blogger life style). My brother told me that the technician told him that the phone line was soaking in the water (?!?!). He had clear the water and the line was ok. Good job, fixed in 5 minutes! (although the solution was abnormal)

Again, the broadband connection up for a few hours and down again… Testing our patience huh?
