my dad wan subcribe streamyx in sabah,tawau.. so the technician informed my dad that my house area do not support the TM free modem..

is it got such problem exists?

does not support free modem? .. WTF the noob technician is talking about .. It may yr housing area dont have streamyx port , but dont support the TM free modem WTF?

yes..tat wat my dad told me..
the noob guy tell my dad the free modem provide bt TM do not support in my area, ask my dad buy own modem...
or they wan cheat my dad modem...

could be that 'free modem' package is only for rm88
if ur dad is subscribing the 66 package, then no free modem. the free modem here in key-el is subsidised by the reg company like gen3.

if u r reg for 88 package, then definately the fella is conning u.

con detected ...
impossible cannot support for free modem ..

If he said the offer doesn't stand then you might believe what he says, but i never heard of a free modem not being supported by an area, thats so ridiculars

All ADSL modems will be supported... Why wouldn't it support..? That tech guy doesn't qualify to be working there...

Tmnut hiring loads of noobs and giving all those stupid unlogic reason. U can always call back to terrorkom and ask , i always do this when i dont understand something . Ask is the best

OTH , he might be right

there are many "flavors" of ADSL , G.Lite , etc..Maybe the modem only supports one flavor of ADSL..It depends....

Then i guess that modem must be those first generation ADSL modems..?

so no such thing rite...not support..wats tat~!!

i think my dad going to subcribe the rm77 1mb tat.. is tat package ok?

There is such thing. My area wont support any adsl2 ready modem. Its something has to do with the type of cables underneath. The DSLAM cant verify your modem. THe DSL light is not blinking, but you cant connect to the remote. I tried several different type of modems which is ADSL2 ready, all same result.

With modem lah better

Well, if he say cannot support, then just get another modem lor... Sometimes those free modems also crap wan.. Depends on your luck..

wah...subcribe streamyx also so many thing ar...

LoL... Don't worry.. You'll get used to it..

omg~~ ok..thanks to u all dude..

haha.....or u could just use that w800i of urs with GPRS.....sure more stable than streamyx speeds

But better ask the technican why cannot lah, or see if u can get a rebate on the "unsable" modem

sure or not...w800i gprs slower than streamyx wutt..haha...

ya..if really cannot use,buy a modem la...and the free modem juv keep it.

some brand modem doesnt work with some brand dslam, but on common sense, if tmnet want to give free modem, they must gave u a brand/model that will for the dslam u are using.
