Seeing that there are people who are frustrated to the point that they derail topics with their rants, the Rants thread is back! So make yourself comfortable and rant away here

(you may of course rant in other topics if you feel that it can contribute positively to the topic)

Okay. SCREAMYX SUX!!!

Streamyx SUX and FARK !!! Forever useless until proven useful... I doubt it though

We love tmnut screamyx but of course not tmnet streamyx.

tm go fly kite

tm a money sucker, take our money for minum tuak only, never maintain their service, I complaint them about the high latency on local port, they said only supply base on 'best effort basis' means I give your connection, good or bad is your luck, not my fault. Here is the reply letter:-

With regards to Streamyx connection issue, we would like to convey our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused. Upon checking your connection speed, which you received around 800-900Kbps, we would like to clarify that the Streamyx service provided is based on 'best effort' basis. This is stipulated in the terms and conditions that is stated in the Streamyx application form, our brochures and also on our website (www.tm.net.my).

A 'best effort' service means that we are unable to offer any throughput guarantees or a 100% of the subscribed speed. However, at TM Net, we consistently strive to do our best to provide our customers with the fastest connection within the allowance of their set-up or individual conditions.

We would like to assure you that TM Net is doing our best to comply within the 'best-effort' benchmark of 70 % throughput.

We wish to inform you that actual connection speeds are also dependant on various factors. The different parts of the Internet network do contribute to your overall online experience, such as your computer?s hardware specifications and performance, modem, internal telephone cabling, local loop, Point-of-Presence (PoP), Internet traffic, international connectivity, etc.

u guys who never get to use the internet during the 14.4k boom surely never appreciates streamyx

i dun give a damn if i get what i get when i pay rm66 per month

coz before this, i have to pay like rm 200+ for a 56k that s used heavily

my torrent speed is acceptable, http speed is ok. what do i have to complain?

disclaimer: I AM NOT AN AFFILIATE OF TMNET NOR HAS I BEEN PAID TO PUT OUT COMMENTS SUCH AS THIS. I HAVE USED INTERNET SINCE I WAS IN FORM 3 (1996) ON A 14.4K US ROBOTIC MODEM WHICH SOMEONE CHARGED RM 3 / 15 MIN. STREAMYX USER SINCE 2003

say restore but not yet restore!!! so long

f*** you TMnut!!
haha

We shud leave tmnut alone for the moment, basically their ceo resigned AND new green packet project which resembles hari raya's $$ packet with a new upcoming soon evolve package of 3mpbs where u can drive at 300km/hr without affected speed which shows no sense at all though. So apparently malaysian drivers surf net on the road while driving 300km/hr. ER Dot come online yea.

Streamyx suc! WTF, why are u throttling my line? =.="

NO ONE CAN GET FULL SPEED AT A TIME.

I would be more than happy if I can get:

1) 70% of advertised speeds
2) 30-40% of BT speeds
3) 90% stability (i.e. no dc, good (not excellent) SNR & Attenuation)
4) <100ms ping time

but as most of us know, we can never get all.

If I can get all the above, I will never "divorce" Streamyx but if there is a better "beauty" around, then bye-bye Streamyx.

streamyx is sux in giving promise..
they dont have the capability to give us more banwith
sux man

i'm really happy if they give us the 1mb package at rm20 per month. because their services it not even worth a dollar.

NO ONE CAN GET FULL SPEED AT A TIME. we are not stupid!

lol you got that right bro. started using internet on 1996 too (still have my 600 bucks us robotics external modem ). damn really missed the good ol' modem handshake sound

Most of the 'noise makers' probably come from newer generation. bah, i really hope tm starts charges by how much you download (like other countries) so it'll filter out these kids out. Hopefully their parents will see that 3gb monthly is enough for their children to surf for education

I Want My Money Back.

When i was in the 56k era... i couldn't BT vecause speds were so slow then and it costs a lot to go online.

No complaints from me.

Why?

Because TMNET is the only ISP besides Maxis offering broadband and they control almost all of the backbones and infrastructure in Malaysia.

You have to understand that not everyone at here is lucky as you and i believe you are not the only one have use 14.4/56k and have to pay 200+ for it,ofcourse you not complaint that much cause you can get what you pay for but the others not.

TM is one of the worst companies around. Run mostly by morons and idiots. The smart ones have already started to leave. Run fellas runnnnnnnn .........

Also on my shitlist of companies are Tenaga Nasional for having only 1 stinkin branch in the whole of PJ area.

DBPJ for their sucky workers who saman me while i was buying the parking ticket froma booth that actually works. (ss2)
after that i still have to go there to state just to show my parking ticket and my saman then only they cancel. damn sohai.

Thank you JPJ for allowing us to install our driving license into our MYKADS having to find out u can only renew it in PUTRAJAYA ...... and only PUTRAJAYA..... no pj state no bandar sri permiasuri nowhere else. That is if you want your driving license to continue on being inside your MYKAD...... YAY for the sohai's.

Terima Kasih dan tahniah saya mengucapkan kepada ahli ahli JKR yang telah menyebabkan saya menukar absorber kereta isteri saya dan kereta saya sendiri tiap 7 bulan. semua rim kereta saya bengkok kerana kerja anda yang cukup memuaskan.

There's more but i'll leave it as it is for now. Going out for dinner.

they haven't provide the service for me

TMNUT Screamyx!!
streamyx suck!!!

I voted for current government to provide us better services. Yet, they still pamper those GLC and give them to fully monopoly to Malaysia economy. And TM ( no more TMNet right? ) is the worst. Government gave them money to improve the service but what they do with the money? Pay a full-paid vacation to their directors? And yet, hired some dumb operator to talk about technical things. I believe, more person called the CS are more IT literate than those idiots.

Conclusion? TM sucks. Government sucks. People is always right.

No offend but I am also a 56K user before, nope, a 33.6K user I never learn the term BT until I get ADSL, in fact, I still keep the Jaring a/c. Even now I using ADSL, i seldom use BT anyway.
When the service first started, the connection is good, but now, they just keep add in more user without limiting the port usage until it is overload
I didn't ask for more, just don't d/c or high latency up to 800+ms. To be honest, until now, Jaring dialup gives me 400ms for online gaming even running smoother than streamyx 1mpbs

give me back my 128kBps

I miss this old rant thread. I just wanna rant on their lousy international links. I somehow cannot access all microsoft websites and services, and plenty of other international websites. I have to use australian proxies to get into those sites. And I can't sign in my live messenger! ~piff~

Tmnut memang nut.....nvm if they throttle the bt....but why when surf the internet still very slow....they said control the bandwidth for bt so that they can provide good bandwidth for other...but why still slow...some sites i even cant access....messenger also cant slow...

don't know what the hell tmnut doing now again, international links sucks again~!

its 3.20 am , i'm now streaming BBC live with many many many many many many (endless) pauses. i switch real media player off, and instead watch astro. no delay or pauses and no need to wait for buffering.

i forgot to add - screw u idiots at TM. when can i buffer without breaks .......

Ahhhhh, the good old days.... I wasn't that late through. I was the 33.6K era. The days where we played around with code strings to squeeze out that extra few bytes over the copper line.

Were you with Jaring or tmnet at that time?

Same with me here..

Nothing much to complaint as my speeds has been decent

Managed to download 10 hollywood movies in just 5days..It ain't that bad isn't??

The connection is so slow nowadays! We should collect RM5-RM10 from disgruntled users to pay for a full page ad to voice our displeasure in The Star.

wah so expensive ah? i use to spend around 100+ every month until they introduce streamyx haha

I'm glad we got that stupid streamyx... at least I dont have to pay a lot like during the dial-up era... If you think that RM200 for it is high.. My normal usage during the dial-up era was RM800 min and RM1500 max... comparing now Rm77... i have save a lot...

I'm glad they did introduced the stupid broadband.. but they realllllllllllllyyyyy need to improve their damn little bandwith...

shit tm, for the last 24 hours, i cant online. finally now can, so i think its tmnut prob not my pc.

but no point shooting tm here, coz they will not improve they service n maintanance

both. but i got seduced to tmNet since they have the no-password, no-telnet thingy + i got many free tmnet accounts that my frens shared

true dat!

you are very young, aren't you? spending rm100+ on a dial-up is just like spending 2-3 hrs a day. when we irc on dial-up, we takes 5-7 hours.

conclusion: streamyx is heaven sent. although not that perfecto, but hey, it's either this or dial-up rite? besides, i got 1mbps line for rm66 and gets me 20 FLAC albums + 5 movies + 10 anime episodes + 100+ manga chapters a month. what more can i complain?

as far i can remember, tmnet dial-up also kena many many complaints back in the ol days, lol.

I am very happy with streamyx seriously

I complain becoz i expect to get at least 10 anime SERIES per month 1000 manga chapters and alot of mp3 albums.Im a heavy anime watcher
100kb/s is supposed to allow me to do that BUT boooooo it cant reach that

Yeah... wait until you have problems like the rest of us!

Remove the throttle device,so I can happily upload the file i downloaded and keep my ratio in the balance...

Lousy la Tmnet streamyx

Well, I have been using streamyx for about 4 years now..

BT throttle? No worries..we now got mytorrent..

In 4 years using streamyx..adsl connections drop occasionally..but never so serious..just call Customer Care they would quick to restore my connection..they are kind, sometimes efficent.

All in all, I am happy user of streamyx..be grateful to streamyx guys..I am sure streamyx always try to fulfill your demands..give streamyx some chance and time

EFF YOU TMNET. EFF YOU.

YOU MAKE MALAYSIA SUCK. EFF YOU TOO MALAYSIA. YOU SUCK.

I WOULD LIVE IN THE SLUMS IN ANOTHER COUNTRY WITH GREAT INET CONNECTION THAN LIVE IN MALAYSIA IN A BIG HOUSE BECOS YOU SUCK TMNET.

Not enough bandwidth still desperately sign up new users, that is sux.

Streamyx disappointed me too many times that it is beyond ranting.

Really lucky of you to have good customer service at your area. I can't say much for the most of us though.

reporting my line sux during night time...

it was good speed at day time

now worst than 56k modem spped

Damn Cilaka TMnut!!... The technician came to my house to check the phone line... then he called the service center again..they were quarelling about sumthing..suddenly he said they mistakenly downgraded my streamyx from 1MB to 512K.. apologizes to me many times.. after that my streamyx restored to 1MB. Sohai...Tmnut.

For me during morning is good speed . Afternoon and evening is quite OK ...but night time is worst. It got so bad at night ...that sometimes I stop surfing ...but local websites is OK.

Maybe many ppl going P2P, torrent at night ?

Sometimes I envy those ppl who live in developed nations like Japan, Australia, United States, Western Europe etc etc...I bet our neighbour Singapore also much better than us.

hah... i have a strange exp with TMnuts yesterday... My office line was down.. Call to the CS and guest what... The Technician Come to the office after 1 hour... damn that fast... and the one who came also not stupid like we use to get when our home line got trouble.... This one come with the complete set of tools+spare modem

I think that they keep their best technician to solve the problem for corporate customer... and left out the idiot 1 to solve our home user problem...

im not getting any response from the net even though got connected through since this morning 7am...up till now...

how much home user are paying and how much coporate user are paying ?

you can't really compare though

Horrible thing for those who work from home and deal with internet 24/7 Mot Malaysian service is about whos the richest gets the best.. bleh =.=

My line have been blinking furiously these days in the morning till afternoon and i have to screw up my sleeping time and use the internet at night.. I rather see TM broadband division goes down to the ground before i land myself in the hospital of irregular sleep.

My international speed been very slow these few days! Anybody experience that? Have to keep on refreshing a single page! That's horrible!

i want angpow <.<

tmnut, no angpau for us customer ?

oh sh1t, my connection is veery slow today, just like the day the cable jammed.

Useless la TMnet.......
Last week the speed was great..... now back to tortoise again....
I think the fellow who installing the throttle machine came back from leave..... Scr*w him and TMnet also......

Wow, looks like my situation is whether to live with hot days and internet, or rainy days without internet. Here's to you, tmnet.

punya main lambat tmnet .. . a lot of seed but only got 2kbs . damnit ..

Same here. They even throttle local P2P. I am getting 1KB/s with local peers. International is only 0.2-0.5KB/s. It is more like completely ban p2p service.

Whole time surfing and chatting no dsl blink. When I started my gaming then only the mad blinks started. Kudos

Even http download also unstable speed.

my http dl speed is ok but bt is BIG 'F'

Yes we have all decided to give Streamyx until the year 2020 to get their act together!

Added on February 19, 2007, 12:46 pmTMNet spend alot of money to do upgrades. They just upgraded to the latest state-of-the-art Packeteer machine to throttle p2p!

This post has been edited by lxwong: Feb 19 2007, 01:01 PM

ur wrong.

they just upgraded their BMWs and MERCs ..........

Developed country got nicer broadband?? Ask uncle google and you will see, every isp got it's own problem, and have you ever walk to singnet customer svc dept based in KL and see how they talk to customer?? You really dont wanna know.

pls do not blame on the p2p users for clogging the bandwidth...
it seems that the throttling isnt even improving anything
browsing and downloading from international sites are terrible.

you cant get a decent video stream even on a broadband connection ::

They probably throttle *.* in their settings

stupid tmnut....surfing international link are very slow....the connection havent restored kah???or now also want to throttle the web site surfing???

Start in here again??? Tired of replying to the other thread which you already closed?

Why don't you reopen http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f=149&t=411742 and then we all restart the arguement again.

TM thinks all CUSTOMERS ARE ALWAYS WRONG and customers are all a stupid bunch of kids.

yay. international link is fixed my arse. routing is still gay and i'm still having gay pings. HURRAH FOR TMNUT

This post has been edited by Ch4o5: Feb 20 2007, 11:37 PM

Happening to me right now, pages can't load at all.

Yup, and that would be 80% of the money used for throttling, and 20% for actual upgrade of the network to fulfill best effort service, deadline 2020.

Everything was going smoothly for me in the past week until a couple of days ago. Now I can't even stay connected in World of Warcraft or download a 5mb file from Filaplanet because I ping out and lose connection.

WTF TMnet?

i have no problem with internet surfing, BT downloads were OK la to say the least, video streaming from youtube's quite fast, but.....

WHY DAH F4RK I CANT PLAY ONLINE MMOS ?! AND WHY'S THE LIGHTS BLINKING LIKE SHITF@RKS MAN ?!

:3

lol same here man.. the dsl started to blink already

I'm free to post everywhere, wth do you care?? It's as per request, no hard feelings, huhuhuhu

instead of posting some trash reply

is better for you shut up since you are not helping at all

no hard feeling k !!

It seems that the problem has been fixed. Downloading from Fileplanet is back up to 150kbps. But there is still packetloss and it drops from time to time. Better than yesterday though (1-5kbps. wtf?)

tmnet & telekom should invest in better infrastructure, dont use old copper telephone line anymore.. we are in 21st century now.

maybe CEO of tmnet not very sure what i mean..?

u guys experience frequent disconnections? .. the freaking blinking lights is happening everyday .. i wonder if i should stop streamyx and apply a new one . >_> ....

how to wawasan 2020 with such slow internet speed...

dsl bling2 yay!

Called customer service the told me to try replacing my phone cable...i called him from the hse phone and some more he can ask if my phone line is noisy or not...wutda.....

Since they are THE phone company, why not sort of link the database and conveniently greet us paying customer with our names everytime we call? Even my stupid nokia 3210 have that technology! its called caller ID!

anybody can explain this?the 3G bar at my phone is full, now at bukit mertajam.but the maxis WBB...

see my download speed for GPRS and UMTS.


Attached thumbnail(s)

is there a problem with streamyx again? my download speed from http sites are so slow..i tested my connection with the speedometer and another speed test and the results are good (62kbps)..how come when i try downloading anything else for example, from rapidshare or speedyshare or trial versions of softwares its really slow?

pFFF....Internet surfing experience my asss....i spend 50% of my online time troubleshooting..

Aiyo...yesterday slow connection, today totally no connection, using jaring dial-up to post this, TMnut please upgrade your self lah, haiya. And don't blame bad copper line, is your whole Gxx Dxxx system too old and need replace lah.

yes! after my streamyx died for almost 8 hours i can get 218 back on first dial

This is a rant sink, not a tech support thread.

Free country, i'm free to speak, who r u to tell me to shut up??

Yes!!! As I'm using a router grrrrrrrrrr......... everytime i got dced i need to reboot whole com to get it run quicker!! Today within 1 hour 5 times dced

is been a month i stuck with ip 218.111 i'm still waiting for rewlie's answer about why only ip 218 can play online game smoothly....

lol cant u see im ranting?

im waiting for the speed to improve b4 calling the CS.

wengjoe, me thinks rewlie takes all the -ve posts against tmnet as slams against himself personally. he shouldn't feel so bad for a company he works for. after all is he in control of it? that may be why he can only make remarks that don't "bear fruit", and provoke irate tmnet customers here. at the same time we, the customers, should not slam him because we shouldn't take his useless remarks personally, after all its un-official?

and no, rewlie, it is not a "free country" - just what does "free country" means? is it a free country when you say whatever you like and no one slam you for it? nowait, don't answer that, thank you.
