hey guys! accidentally passed by this thread yesterday and came to know streamyx have this promo!
for me i am very happy with this promo, so i'm thinking of upgrading it.

I'm a 512kbps user (rm66/month) for 5-6 years already. I can say that in terms of stability i'm quite satisfied, it seldom dc, but in terms of the speed it's really getting on my nerves. I remember 2years back i had bought rapidshare premium and managed to download things at 50kbps, which was the max speed i guess i can get. smooth gaming, youtube quite ok (wait approx 15mins then can watch a 10 minute video).

However things were a lot worse this year. My emule download never exceeds 15kbps, and i can thank god if my rapidshare can reach 10kbps..normally it will be like 6-7kbps..not to mention even with rapidshare premium my download gets terminated halfway frequently (operation to server terminated message). Youtube sometimes need to wait 2 hours for a 10min video, but sometimes may just need 5 minutes.
Darn I'm frustrated.

Do you guys think that upgrading my package to the 1mbps (RM71) will solve my problem, and I will be getting a 100-150kbps download speed by changing to 1mbps?
BTW, i would also like to know about this HSBB, will it be covering east malaysia by next year? (I live in Sabah)

Thanks a lot!

but i've been with streamyx all this while ah..the malaysian internet really
with each time i download a file i will scold screamyx once

yea thanks for your fast replies, i think i will spend an extra rm5 per month and hopefully the speed is really 2 times faster. I just couldn't stand it, downloading a 100mb file takes around 10 hours! Simply ridiculous.

so i just need to call 100 and they'll upgrade for me in a few days time is it? No extra charges right?

I don't know how the other rm66 users get 50-60kbps download speeds (whether it is rs or torrent)..is it becoz tmnut pay more attention to west malaysia and neglected us?

I just submitted my form online..
don't know how fast they will process my status? I'm from sabah
need to check status ourselves?

yea i'm upgrading from 512 to 1mbps.
hopefully can get out of the super slow speed i experienced for more than 5 years soon =.=

yes i got cheated by screamyx too.
submitted my form on monday night then tuesday morning (512-1m) i got a 1.30mbps dl and 0.30mbps upload speed the next morning. I was like 'Whooaah streamyx is efficient' and was delighted with joy
then i tried downloading from rapidshare. guess what. same old super duper slow speed. hardly over 10kbps, and often get the operation aborted message. same goes to youtube. 2 hours for a 10minute video.

sharp56 i second you with your previous statement above.
