I have just bought a farm and moved in recently. Went to transfer my streamyx account to my new phoneline but was informed that I am unable to do so as the nearest port available is 8Km away.

I did a search to perhaps find a device that can plug into my phone line and would be able to extend the distance but I have found one from australia that can extend the fixed line bb range to 20 Km.

The following site provide the necessary information :

Does anyone know if TMNET has any plan to extend the reach of their fixed-line BB ? The solution seem very cheap.

I am using Celcom BB and it sucks ..... kept getting lookup failure and drop-line is also quite frequent.

Can forget about Rapidshare download and voip.


Anyone has other alternatives ?

yr best bet, pray TM install RDSLAM. So it will shorten distance from 8KM to 3-5KM.

if there is majority ppl subscribe to Streamyx, they will install RDSLAM.

if you check DSL forum, you will notice DSL distance is not the limit.



few years back, there 2 user claim DSL service up 6-7KM. but it been topic been purge.

remember the distance show TM system are estimate only.

even my bill state is 4KM, but according to technician service my area. The RDSLAM to my house walking distance is less than 2KM. Weird right ?
