rclxub.gif mad.gif All sites slow for me since Christmas. Some American sites crawling. As a World of Warcraft player I'm pissed as the game's been slow since then.

Any solutions other than to persevere in waiting? How are other ISPs? Amax Wimax ok? Switching ISP a good idea?

sweat.gif How bad are the constant disconnects when using Wimax? Streamyx does sometimes disconnect too. I think I'll try Amax Wimax. P1 is out of the question as my place is not covered (most of PJ isn't) and as a P2P Torrent user a download limit will screw me.

It seems that the theory that Streamyx is rerouting to help corporate customers after the cable severance incident may have some truth. As a KDU student I remember that their WiFi used to suck. Now it's even faster than my home connection. I'm quite sure they use a corporate TM connection. vmad.gif vmad.gif

I still have problems connecting to some US sites. They are so horribly slow. Screamyx Tech Support told me that it's the sites' server problem. I don't buy it at all. It cannot be such a coincidence doh.gif, obviusly it's a Turtlemyx problem.

I also still get horrible latency on World of Warcraft. For that TMnut claims WoW servers block certain Malaysian IPs. They came to this conclusion because many WoW players call to report same problem. Their logic is since many users have same problem TMnut is blameless. What bullshit?! rclxub.gif
