Streamyx Woes

I have known many people to have used Streamyx in their offices or even at home. Most of the time, the majority of Streamyx customers are from big corporate firms and also home users. Well, since Telekom Malaysia is the only big telecommunication company to provide such a service, they are the only big ISP company in the country.

One would ask about Jaring but if you read the news, Jaring has been bought over by Telekom Malaysia. I used to like Jaring very much until it was bought over by Telekom Malaysia. Do you know why? TM is using Jaring's resources for thermselves!!! That is the bad part. The good part is that it has increased TM's customer base in the country.

No doubt you would understand that mobile broadband is on the rise in Malaysia, same goes to many countries like in the USA and also in the UK. However, I have received many complains from users of mobile broadband of not living up to their share of the bargain. It is like buying a 1Mbps broadband service only to receive 512Mbps of download speed. That is just not right.

The worst offender will be, nontheless, Streamyx. They have promised a 1Mbps of download speed but it is often not what consumers will receive. Most of the time consumers will only receive a quarter of the published speed. That is pretty bad. I really hope that TM will improve on their broadband service which is pretty poor at the moment although they have come up with various innovations to increase their customer base. With loads of hiccups and downtime sessions, no doubt that Streamyx is the worst offender here...
