Just to share my experience:

I applied to upgrade from RM88 1.0 mbs streamyx to BB 4MB package last Monday 5th April. Previously, the 4Mb not available in my area (Hulu Kelang/Ampang) for many years... but suddenly its available when i asked on Monday.... lucky me! maybe somebody in my area cancelled his line or moved to different area!

today (i.e. 48 hours later) the technician came to my house to check & install the WIFI modem (he wanted to make appointment for NEXT week but i said i'm going overseas so please please please come today can!?!?!). Such a nice guy he came later in evening.... even then I was afraid he would tell me after testing that he cannot get good signal, but yeyy, his eqm showed i can recieve steady 3.5mbs speed......

You can guess how good i feel, after waiting for so many years to get this 4mb line!!

After reading the posts on this forum, i asked if he can cap me at 5mb instead of 4mb, but he said he already tested some of my neighbors & they can't get 4mbs, only upto 1 or 2, so maybe i am on the borderline of the 4km radius from exchange... so he said if 5mb cap my line would be very unstable so better stick to 4mb which he tested looks quite stable. OKlah, i trust his advice & leave it at that.

the 4mb is supposed to be activated in 24 hours, so i keep my fingers crossed & hope everything works tomorrow.

i will update you all if there's anyone interested?

BTW, currently i pay 88+26 per month, sometimes come up to $120-$130 (depends on phone charges).... so now if i just pay extra $20 (i.e. from $120 to $140 becos no need to pay $26 monthly rental + free calls to other TM numbers) & increase my speed +300%.... well that sounds like a GREAT DEAL to me! I just hope the 4mb has no problems & REALLY kicks-in tomorrow, ha ha ha.

I enquired at TM when UNIFY will come to my area.... he said the newspapers say end of this year, but in reality maybe 2012 becos right now many areas in Ampang still cannot get streamyx 4mb after so many years.... wah, 2012 too far away for me..... so i go ahead with the streamyx lah.

I've learnt so many things from this forum.... thank you my friends.............

Hi everyone!

Just to update you-all on my " TMnet blockbuster adventure"...

1)  yesterday my line was upgraded to 4096 as promised, and my speedtests showed performance of 3.51mbs......

2)  So, after hearing the advice from MFA333 and WZTECH in this forum, i called my installer technician and asked very very very nicely if he can get TM to increase my cap to 5120. Well, he did that first thing this morning (!!!), and my speed now is 4.38mbs! I offered to take him out for teh tarik but he declined... what a really2 nice guy!  If everyone in the service industry is like him, then we can truly boast Malaysia as #1.... but unfortunately that is still a faraway dream ....

3)  I will post the screen-shots of my speed-test results, as soon as somebody can teach me how to insert them into my next post (i'm not actually very good at this IT stuff....).

THANK YOU again to my good frens here, especially the two gentlemen i mentioned above.

Cheers!
