(a) Whether Streamyx disconnects frequently or not could be due to bad wiring to your house. Your neighbour may not be affected, so this is not the best test for connection reliability.
(b) As for the Izzi salesperson to come over to your abode, bear in mind that they are bringing their own terminals to do the connection. Unless someone can confirm to the contrary, I believe each device's ID is tied to a username/password combination. Izzi can easily configure the test account such that its traffic can have a higher priority over all other subscriber's traffic, so you get some excellent test results. This dastardly move would not be beyond Malaysian companies just to make some sales. The customer is so impressed with the test results that he/she signs up on the spot. I'm not saying this is practised, but bear this in mind. I recall reading in this thread where people have complained that during the testing they achieved impressive speeds, but later, the connection quality began to degrade.
I was told by their back office personnel that "reloads" are only available in a minimum 3 month package. So you either renew for 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. Maybe they've changed their minds. Who knows? When I spoke to them about three months ago, the price had yet to be finalised because the service had just been launched, and no subscriber would encounter the renewal situation at least until the second quarter of 2008.
What exactly are you comparing this against then? Maxis wireless broadband packages? Celcom's broadband packages? Jaring wireless? u-mobile? Etc?
Whoa whoa...chill out dude. Don't be such an aggressive man. It weekend by the way. Thanks for the very detail explanation regarding my post. Yes, no doubt, you make your point there, every single bit. But bear in mind my friend, not every one is very teachie and technical like you. Obvously, the person who ask do go thru all the post here. My advice is simple one but yes not flawless. It still depend on the telephone line wiring. But base on my experience, in my previous home at Kedah, TM net tend to allow streamyx connection even the phone line already more than 5 km. All my neighbour has some bad experience with me, espcially when raining.
About the price, monthly subscription etc, this information I got from the reseller. I should quote that earlier.
About the contract, I base on comparing with telekom 2 years and maxis 2 years...and no refund policy. Escpcially telekom, phone line 1 year and streamyx 2 year.
Added on November 25, 2007, 1:58 pmAbout the price RM98 etc, as consumer we will think that way. We pay for the hardware too. I was thinking that way too. But look at the brochure. They clearly state that the modems are free....that's the catch. Even, use any marketing sense available, there is no free things like that...but they make it as 'free', which able for them to charge RM98 in the upcoming year.
Streamyx practice the same way too. RM 88 with modem, and contract end after 2 years. After use it for more than 2 years, the cheapo zte modem is mine but still need to pay RM88. No matter they have promotion RM77 with modem or my contract already end.
If the cost of renewal after 12 month subscription will be much lower than RM98, let say even lower than RM66 (RM 50?), thank god. I dearly hope that will happen. But, to be honest, I do not put my hope on this. Sometime, in this practical corporate world...the world is not too idealist as we want.
