I just got Celcom 3G (prepaid) to use with my laptop at work, and I already have suckmyx at home (several years already subscribe).

Guess what, since last week stupid DSL light keep blinking... stable 3-4 seconds then blinking again. Cannot connect. Been using the Celcom 3G connection ever since. It's working like a freakin' champ, no problems so far.

This monday gotta go complain about suckmyx again, hope it doesnt take their techs another week to fix it.

Haha.... And you better keep calling them for a few times since they won't do their jobs with just only one call... shakehead.gif

Actually, my suckmyx calls over the years have always been attended promptly. Luck I guess. I had 5 tickets, only 1 of which required 2 calls on my side before a tech responded. My main beef with suckmyx is the international gateway but we all know that's not getting upgraded until hell freezes over. Also, hate the game, not the playa. I pity the poor techs and peons stuck facing irate customers, but we all know their shitty policy is to blame for their neverending woes. TM needs to stop f***ing changing CEOs and management so many times.

Just wanted to say, FINALLY switched to Unifi (the lowest residential package).

1. Youtube. For a few seconds it loads ultra fast, then it slows to some steady rate. Fast enough to keep from buffering but nothing impressive. Reaction: "That's it?"

2. Torrents. From a measly 5kb/s on a well-seeded (200+ peers) torrent using Streamyx's basic $88 package, to 300-400kb/s using Unifi. Reaction: "Holy ****".

Still want my Astro so that's extra I'm paying but it was definitely worth it. Screw 1-week downloading times for torrents, I'm finally seeing what people in other countries were seeing with their broadband a friggen' decade ago.
