Woah! Streamyx users have no idea how lucky they are...

I signed up with the, what I wouldn't call the best ISP in Kuala Lumpur or Malaysia, izzi / izzinet... I was actually expecting speeds of up to half of advertised speeds! (lol right)

I want to upgrade to Streamyx!!!
Since becoming a member a few weeks ago of fun loving iZZi, I have learned the following:
- Tech support, Customer support non-existant
- Saturday is a day off for Internet
- Sunday is a "only text internet browsing allowed"
- 5:00pm means 5kbps speed limit in place for download
- Upload speed = LMAO
When signing on to iZZi Internet, there is a disclaimer hidden in the back of the internet page that states:
"iZZi Internet is not really an ISP, we have a few towers in KL that support 20 people at top speed, the advertised speeds assume you are one of the 20 people on that tower and there is no more then 20 people connected. As subscriptions increase into iZZi "Internet Sharing", we will not be spending additional revenue on towers or hardware to improve service. We need to pay commissions to the thousands of iZZi salespersons, our 1 outsource IT leader, and the legion of Marketing reps."

iZZi is a great Internet Sharing company... I truly want to work in their Marketing department, with all the pre-paid 1 year package they are selling, they must be laughing all the way to the bank. I could improve their marketing greatly with my new slogan for them...

iZZi... while others provide youtube, live streams video and audio and photo sharing, we provide you with the best of internet text from inside your car, while you drive up to speeds of up to 100 Km/H in rush hour traffic KL with a starbuck in one hand, your knee at the wheel and fingertips on your laptop accessing the latest news in a format lesser then a phone can provide you!

I do love the speedtest provided by izzi website, it is FAST! I get speed of up to 600 kbps!!!!... of course if I use any other local, non-local, global, asian etc. speedtest, I get speeds of up to 60kbps!.. I think izzi misplaced the dot "."
