Bloody Slow Streamyx (Part 3)

Filed in: Malaysia, Tmnet — September 10th, 2006

This is the follow-up of my series of “Bloody Slow TMNet Streamyx.

Well, another day of slow Streamyx broadband narrowband connection. Strangely, the connection becomes very fast after 12am.

According to the TMNet service interruption notice, 12am till 6am is the time they perform the upgrade process. Now, this is funny.

What other Malaysians say about Streamyx in September, 2006?

“Its been teribbly(terribly) _ _ slow for the whole _ day, and i’ve been trying the whole day to get an ip address from the 218 ip address pool.” — kukujiao.com

“TMNet announced service interuption for 2 weeks, starting 5th September. They claim to have slow browsing from 12am to 6am. And surfing is like worst than shit since afternoon just now. The whole Miri is affected, as far as I know. I’m not so sure about the other parts in Malaysia though.” — Clueless Dream

Have your say? Send it to me. Also, rate your Streamyx connection performance at Malaysia Bloggers Forum.

    hehe… I have to censor the words. :)

    Ya, I also discovered that 218.x.x.x is faster than other IP addresses. I never get download speed at 100KB/s. Maybe it is because I do not use P2P?

    I’m with 219 IP, it’s smooth so far, no problem on browsing. Well, still not as fast as it suppose to be. I’m wondering what is the real difference between 1MB and 512KB? Because at home town I’m using 512KB, and here 1MB but so far, both of them seems to be same spped for me -__-”

    Going out also not a good option. oil price increasing, but not our salary. Now streamyx is going slower & slower, our life getting miserable here

    My connection started crapping out early last week, but today it’s fantastic. It’s been rather inconsistent over the last 2 weeks, I’m hoping that consistency will improve.

    I don’t know. I’m in penang and everything has been fine, fast and stable. Anyway Liew, did the TM people response to any of your complaint? (like the previous MCD ppl), like giving you free upgrades to 10MBPS? :D

    Today my connection is bad again. I think they must be doing some upgrades (hopefully). In economics this is the Monopoly theory… although there is Time/Jaring/Maxis, coverage is limited and cost is high. Therefore for most of us, there is only one choice – Slowmyx. And when you have a monopoly situation it is either high price, poor service, or both. Just like the Telekom days before they were forced to wake up by Maxis and Digi. Now that they wake up, they find they are 5 years behind others and losing market share. So they do expensive ads to get back market share. It would be much cheaper for them to invest in good service in the first place.

    These few days, the TM Net Streamyx is damn slow like hell, even my office using SDSL, the download speed drop to the lowest 100kbps only instead of 1.5 Mbps.

    According to the old records, TM Net always announced incorrect maintenance period.

    Hope this can be ended soon.
