Streamyx on Steriods!!!

Yes, if you look close, Streamyx is actually rolling out its wireless broadband with a twist - just pay RM10 on top of your existing streamyx connection and you will be able to enjoy wireless broadband wherever you are. Streamyx claims that they have the widest coverage in Malaysia and with the new package, it will attract a lot of people. I have to disagree with that.


First of all, Streamyx is rather slow. The only good thing about it is that Streamyx offer customers unlimited downloads. Other than that, Streamyx is pretty slow in surfing the internet.


Personally, I think that ADSL broadband in Malaysia is pretty poor. What they have done is that Streamyx now started offering download speed of up to 4Mbps for RM288 a month. I don't understand why TM does not want to improve their services first before rolling out new products.


For your information, I do have a 1Mbps service in my house but guess what? According to three speedtest which I have done online, my download speed is only 300kbps max while upload speed is only 88kbps at max. What can you say about it then?
