Seeing that there are people who are frustrated to the point that they derail topics with their rants, the Rants thread is back! So make yourself comfortable and rant away here

(you may of course rant in other topics if you feel that it can contribute positively to the topic)

Okay. SCREAMYX SUX!!!

Streamyx SUX and FARK !!! Forever useless until proven useful... I doubt it though

We love tmnut screamyx but of course not tmnet streamyx.

tm go fly kite

tm a money sucker, take our money for minum tuak only, never maintain their service, I complaint them about the high latency on local port, they said only supply base on 'best effort basis' means I give your connection, good or bad is your luck, not my fault. Here is the reply letter:-

With regards to Streamyx connection issue, we would like to convey our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused. Upon checking your connection speed, which you received around 800-900Kbps, we would like to clarify that the Streamyx service provided is based on 'best effort' basis. This is stipulated in the terms and conditions that is stated in the Streamyx application form, our brochures and also on our website (www.tm.net.my).

A 'best effort' service means that we are unable to offer any throughput guarantees or a 100% of the subscribed speed. However, at TM Net, we consistently strive to do our best to provide our customers with the fastest connection within the allowance of their set-up or individual conditions.

We would like to assure you that TM Net is doing our best to comply within the 'best-effort' benchmark of 70 % throughput.

We wish to inform you that actual connection speeds are also dependant on various factors. The different parts of the Internet network do contribute to your overall online experience, such as your computer?s hardware specifications and performance, modem, internal telephone cabling, local loop, Point-of-Presence (PoP), Internet traffic, international connectivity, etc.

u guys who never get to use the internet during the 14.4k boom surely never appreciates streamyx

i dun give a damn if i get what i get when i pay rm66 per month

coz before this, i have to pay like rm 200+ for a 56k that s used heavily

my torrent speed is acceptable, http speed is ok. what do i have to complain?

disclaimer: I AM NOT AN AFFILIATE OF TMNET NOR HAS I BEEN PAID TO PUT OUT COMMENTS SUCH AS THIS. I HAVE USED INTERNET SINCE I WAS IN FORM 3 (1996) ON A 14.4K US ROBOTIC MODEM WHICH SOMEONE CHARGED RM 3 / 15 MIN. STREAMYX USER SINCE 2003

say restore but not yet restore!!! so long

f*** you TMnut!!
haha

We shud leave tmnut alone for the moment, basically their ceo resigned AND new green packet project which resembles hari raya's $$ packet with a new upcoming soon evolve package of 3mpbs where u can drive at 300km/hr without affected speed which shows no sense at all though. So apparently malaysian drivers surf net on the road while driving 300km/hr. ER Dot come online yea.

Streamyx suc! WTF, why are u throttling my line? =.="

NO ONE CAN GET FULL SPEED AT A TIME.

I would be more than happy if I can get:

1) 70% of advertised speeds
2) 30-40% of BT speeds
3) 90% stability (i.e. no dc, good (not excellent) SNR & Attenuation)
4) <100ms ping time

but as most of us know, we can never get all.

If I can get all the above, I will never "divorce" Streamyx but if there is a better "beauty" around, then bye-bye Streamyx.

streamyx is sux in giving promise..
they dont have the capability to give us more banwith
sux man

i'm really happy if they give us the 1mb package at rm20 per month. because their services it not even worth a dollar.

NO ONE CAN GET FULL SPEED AT A TIME. we are not stupid!

lol you got that right bro. started using internet on 1996 too (still have my 600 bucks us robotics external modem ). damn really missed the good ol' modem handshake sound

Most of the 'noise makers' probably come from newer generation. bah, i really hope tm starts charges by how much you download (like other countries) so it'll filter out these kids out. Hopefully their parents will see that 3gb monthly is enough for their children to surf for education

I Want My Money Back.

When i was in the 56k era... i couldn't BT vecause speds were so slow then and it costs a lot to go online.

No complaints from me.

Why?

Because TMNET is the only ISP besides Maxis offering broadband and they control almost all of the backbones and infrastructure in Malaysia.

You have to understand that not everyone at here is lucky as you and i believe you are not the only one have use 14.4/56k and have to pay 200+ for it,ofcourse you not complaint that much cause you can get what you pay for but the others not.
