I am staying in crimson now, and my only comment to metrofon is Poor. Poor in term of connection (always time out and very slow) and customer service (no one answering to technical complaint even stated it is 24/7).

If you are thinking of swithching from Streamyx to Metrofon, i would advise you not! It is not worth to pay so much to them (High installation fee and Deposit) for this of company. I am a victim of this poor ISP provider. Try imagine in contract with such company when your GPRS Edge connection is even faster?

Which area you are? I'm also having a same issue from the pass few weeks especially for the BT download. But these few days is quite OK for me. Some time can reach up to 50KBps. Maybe you should make a call to their support center and ask them to check your connection. Maybe is their crappy cable caused the issue.. hmm.gif

Sorry to disappoint MetroFon critics, but I'm currently using MetroFon in Happy Apartment, Section 17, PJ. My fastest BT download speed was last week at 2.0 MB per second and most of the time the speed remains above 30kbps. I was the only user that time.

Now I'm sharing with 7 other people with most of them also downloading, my average BT speed is 20kbps. My internet connection was never disconnected at all, but I'll be honest that in raining times surfing the net is slower than usual.

I think MetroFon's internet speed is based on area, it's better for you all to check with friends, family, or neighbours to see if how good or bad MetroFon can be. So far I'm happy to switch from TM Nut's Streamyx to MetroFon.

Just my 2 cents.

There is someone hosted a BT forum in their network. Believe it or not I'm getting 2MB (which is equal to 16Mbps) download speed from that forum. For International, I'm getting about 30~40Kbps in average. But if one the seeder is from MetroFon or Penangfon, the download speed will go up to 2MBps as well....

another 2 cents from Metrofon user

I think the key criterion in evaluating an ISP is

Are they consistent?


Even some Streamyx people are getting extreme speeds and no problems (I am one of them) and some of them are even unthrottled...

Some ppl on the other hand can't even get half of their connection.

So if a lot of people are having problems with their Metrofon, then it's hard to conclude that they are good.

Don't get me wrong, I was actually recommending Metrofon to some of my clients but looks like that recommendation has to go out of the window now. It's a sad day when all ISPs in the country throttle p2p.

It is not... What i know is they pull in a fiber into your condo which minimum can supply up to 100M back to their core network...I'm not about the wow to us but I know there are customer playing dota which connected to flying spaghetti monster has no issue about it. It was shown in their tech forum.
