can help me ask this?

why many people who using 1mbps package but the speed they get is only 512kbps? even after technician come and check, the problem still persist.

streamyx customer support is not helpful most of the time, as a IT student, i know what is going on, and yet they want to ask me to do something that is not appropriate to the problem that i'm facing, for example, my DSL light is stable, line is ok but i cant login to streamyx and connect to internet so i called streamyx customer support, then they tell me to ping google, ping streamyx DNS, if i cant connect to internet, how can i ping? doh.gif

when i got some problem with the streamyx server side, i call them, they will try to deny is not their problem, i told them i have ensure my modem and pc and connection between modem and pc is ok, yet they still ask me to ping my own router, access my router page.

please consider that most of us dont use house phone anymore, calling to 1300 number using handphone is expensive, everytime i call, i have to wait for 5 mins for waiting someone to pickup my line yet my credit is ticking, dont you think this is something to improve?

since unifi is available in many area in KL and selangor, why there are still some place that doesn't support 4mbps? seriously, a lot of confusion and misunderstanding happen in screamyx, when i try to call to streamyx and ask if my area support 4mbps, they say no while some say yes, when the TM contractor come my house, i ask them this area support 2-4mbps or not, they say no, but the website stated that 2mbps and 4mbps is supported in my area.

and ask them why we can only get 80% of the advertised speed, isn't this a scam?

if that's the case, why dont they advertise the actual speed we can get?

Actually with my 10 mbps unifi, i notice i can get between 80-100% of my package speed which maxes out at 1.2 MB/s

So currently it's pretty good (for me anyway) since i'm getting the speed i paid for. Problem is, when they introduce throttling, will that only take affect after the monthly bandwidth cap has been reached, or will it be effective 24/7 regardless of caps, for services such as torrenting .....

because they set your cap at 1.2mbps that's why you can get 1mbps when using speed test, but the problem is the advertised speed and the user only get 80% of the advertised speed, what's the point to advertise 1mbps when most of us only get 80% of it, why dont just advertise 800kbps instead, and not all people can get 100% 1mbps speed, most of them who get that speed is because they set the cap to 1.5mbps instead.

questions should be focused on service quality and false advertising.... rather than new products and marketing plans for unifi because no matter what products u want and respective price, the question to come is, can they deliver as advertised?

false advertise doesn't seems like a very serious matter in malaysia, in other country like USA and japan, your goods has to be exactly the same or similar to what you advertised

let's take our fast food in here, when you see the poster, the food look delicious and large amount of it, when you go in and order one, what you will get it 50% lesser than what you see in the advertisement

same goes to streamyx.

I did not use speed test. I used torrents from bakabt, megaupload premium, rapidshare premium, download accelerated direct downloads to check. All can get max 1.1-1.2 MB/s

For torrent obviously depends how well it's seeded, but doesn't look as if it's throttled doh.gif
I think this is more an issue for streamyx as when i was using 1mbps and 4mbps i never got 80% minimum speed on average. Unifi seems to be fine doh.gif for me anyway.

that's because they cap your max speed at 1.5mbps, just like how my friend can get 150kbps download speed while i only get 60-80kbps

and they dont cap line below 1mbps as far as i've seen, that's why we get full speed download most of the time, they only throttle 2mbps and above.

im not sure if its being asked b4
goin thru 6 pages is kinda hard for me

so my question is

why is sometimes the line ok sometimes lag
when we call 100
n asked to key in the area code n phone number
why r we asked again for verification
we cant do anythin else by callin in 100
so why all the verifications

its wastin time
n quite a lot of time
the customer service doest know anythin bout the current situation
n ask them to listen carefully
there r times i asked for somethin n get a diff reply

we wanna get faster speed like 4mbs n unifi
bt cannot
cuz either port full or unifi not available in ur area
do somethin bout the speed

n why do we hav so much problems wit the underwater cable anyway

if call using handphone and housephone, you will be divert to the same line even though you dial different number, 100 and 1300-88-9515 is the same

if you use housephone they dont track your number and skip the verification, first is verification with the machine, after someone pick up the line then need to verify again, if i need to verify again after they pick up my call, i dont see a point in verify my number with a machine in the first place, and yes, waste of time, imagine you call using handphone where you cant dial 100, the cost is like RM1 per mins shakehead.gif

there was once where i entered the correct area code and phone number, but the machine just keep say i enter the wrong number, you know how annoying it is and the credit is running since i dial using handphone.

the complaint list will go on and on, i dont think is possible to voice out all the problem in just a dinner time, seriously, bring a laptop, connect to wifi (if cant connect, shot them) then show them this thread on the spot

if possible take a video of the dinner, i doubt thy will allow it.

TM is a telco and ISP. They have the ability to setup and host a live online video conference / chat session with a large group of users where questions and answers, feedback and complaints etc etc can be given to top management. No need special dinners or tea parties etc. They can have such an online session maybe even once a month for a couple of hours with different groups of selected  users Its a matter of whether they want to or not. 

Or do they not have the expertise to do this? Or they lack the bandwidth to do this? Or they are afraid that user's slow connections cannot support this? Or their own throttling methods will not allow this?

Hasn't anyone in TM even thought of such an activity??  That's another suggestion to put to the CEO.
