Bloody Slow TMnet Streamyx

Filed in: Malaysia, Tmnet — September 8th, 2006

I am getting very slow Internet connection since September 7, 2006. My TM Net 1Mbps Streamyx connection is so slow that even a dial-up connection would be much more faster!

At the TMNet website, there is a “Service Interruption” notice which writes, “We wish to inform our customers that TM Net is performing an upgrading exercise to the Streamyx system nationwide from 5th – 19th September 2006 daily from 12:00 a.m. till 6:00 a.m. As a result, tmnet streamyx customers may experience disconnection and slow browsing during the stipulated time period.”

Are they working over time after 6:00am and cause the slowness of Internet connections? Or, they are actually performing a “downgrading exercise” to the system? :roll:

My two cents

I can’t do my works without a stable Internet connection. It is very frustrating. Everytime Streamyx is not working, I would miss Jaring broadband service. When will Jaring broadband(consumer) available in Johor?

Update: Some MyPDACafe members are having the same problem.

    Yeah .. Streamyx sucks .

    Now downloading is even slower than dial up connection .

    It gives me 3.06 KB per second and it took 10 hours to download a 100 MB file .

    Let me tell you guys the reason.
Malaysia can still offer 384K bandwidth? Popular plan at 512K & 1Mbps?

    Advanced and developed countries are offering over 25Mbps.
including Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, China.
That’s after the government push for competition and unbundling.
(some even before unbundling are also running at >4Mbps)
    And these countries are aiming for >90% uptake

    Where does Malaysia stands? Still Malaysia want to claim to be IT hub? gosh! No wonder Malaysia Telcos are making money…and economic booming (just a little)
All at the expense of people welfare.
Guess you people should start to demand.

    Ooh well, what to do… If we malaysia had more than 4 ISP providers like Singapore, Streamyx surely lost all the customers, and they’ll regret giving us lousy services and try to improve them ( improve the lousyness ).

    anyone using celcom or maxis broadband? I heard that celcom broadband perform quite well.. just review from other user. I personally use streamyx fixed IP before, that is TREMENDOUS speed and stability I experience. Very Recommended if you need a fast speed and good service but the price is a bit higher.

    This TM big company still becoming only big ‘CHEATING’ company(earn a lot of big money from you and me all) is because of we all are innocent. My 1 Mb /384kb package (Rm110 per month)) average the download speed is around 10kb(not over), no matter how to setting the network speed or install software. Although they earn a lot of big money, they still want government use our Malaysian’s tax money to help them to improve the service. The second president agree that signed the contract, is more than 10,000,000,000 (news have show).
    Compare to other country, 8MB/640kb package is at around RM41.00.

    We have right to say our very unsatisfied.
