QUOTE(Lynixx @ Apr 9 2009, 11:45 AM) i had enough with streamyx edy...i think i'm going to terminate this f*** streamyx. Lynixx, I strongly do not think that is a wise idea (to ignore than automatically assume termination) - if you choose to ignore, they will still keep your line alive and you might end up with a HUGE BILL and also a LAWYER letter from screamyx.EDIT:guys...how i terminate the service? is it when the bills come just ignore it then they will automatically terminate? For termination, go ahead to one of their centres and ask for one. If you are under contract (eg. 1 year), then you have no choice but to bind to that agreement. If your contract had expired, then you are free to terminate (and you might need to give them back the modem as well). Play by the rules - never by reckless emotions. |

you guys should STOP posting speedtest on malaysian servers..
we all know that screamyx is the fastest INTRANET for god sake please test using a US or at least a singapore server.. my bro once told me hey i subscribed to a 0.5mbps line and i got like 1.5mbps speedtest result. Then i ask, which server do u use to test? He said KL, i say of coz la screamyx is like you have LAN speed (exxxaaggerateed) all over malaysia, go try SG instead.. and know what? He come up with snail 56k speed which he dare not tell me and kept quiet.. Nothing to be shamed off bro, it's just crappy screamyx |

Hi rajul, why don't you use US servers to test instead?
You need to test for real figures, not figures that 'will' only get you good results. Try think - how many SG servers do you access when you browse the net or downloads? Most are US servers.. so getting faster speed there doesn't really matters rite? Anyway, screamyx promised that the speed will come back normal ('on a best effort basis') tomolo.. let's see if they are able to keep their words after 2x failed... Else i will say screamyx is a liar... or in professional term, not able to deliver up to expectation. |

PROXIES DOESN'T SOLVE A THING..
It's like a car with a ruined engine, even if you put an F1 oil or even a rocket oil, it still doesn't perform well. We are ranting because we paid for the service. And what do we get? a stupid service! I went to TMNET today - waited for more than half an hour for my call where there was only like 3 customers waiting, all of a sudden every agents at counter were missing like 15 minutes or so.. left all customers there, including customers who are at their desk.. i guess it was their 15minutes break? WTF all in one go? Who's goin to serve the customer? So i waited and sorted out all infos i need to know in terminating my streamyx account and phone line once and for all. Gave me 2 forms to fill and then says account should be terminated within 3 days after submission. Which i'm going to do next week. And I suggest to all screamyx users who had been fooled for so long.. guys and gals. it's time to change, dun care, just change to whatever ISPs that's available in your area - come on, what do you expect more from an ISP who's a LIAR. ANTI SCREAMYX! |

Just an update guys, browsing webpage is like on dial up tonight, and worst. Some pages won't even load, and youtube keep on buffering forever....
QUOTE(ablack @ Apr 22 2009, 07:14 PM) . Appreciate your understanding ablack. Their service is simply pathetic.. It's like you buy a car, the salesman said oh this baby ferrari can go up to 200km/h easy as pie, when you drive, it choke and won't run more than 4km/h (I'm saying this for a 2mbps speed, and able to download 4kb/s max!) - so they say the car doesn't have problems - it's the road, why? Because it's hilly billy or (enter rubbish excuses here) - and still you need to pay for the monthly payment for the farkary every month. WTF?????well i agree wif u ..... we pay for the service...... of cos we will be very pist....... n not all the ppl in here know how to use farkin proxies..... even some might not werk...... n doin so much rubbish just to get the line we were supposed to get n we dun......drives us up the wall...... some ppl like me hav tried so many ways but some just got lucky n some just dun..... anyone can suggest a better broadband ? cos maxis sucks big time too..... esp the mobile broadband...... any good recommendations..... additional info.... 60.50 ip speedtest is smooth but not stable..... if u change ur ip too many times n dl using RS.... they will change ur pwd.....n send u an email sayin that u might be sharin ur acc or ur acc hav been hacked.....do it too many times n u might get ur acc terminated..... QUOTE(Omochao @ Apr 22 2009, 07:37 PM) I know...so what can you do now???you rant to them?I think their customer service staffs are gonna resign soon....I'm sure everyone can guess that being a customer service staff there sucks? why? most of the calls to there is either complains or rants about the caller's phone line. Nothing good will be ever coming up if they pick up the phone. Ok Omochao, I don't know you and I don't know your mindset or how long have you been using the internet or exposed to broadband or use it for what... The way you talk is like you're a screamyx insider trying to say it's useless to rant here.. HELLOO.. this is a thread to rant (ok there's another thread for that i know) - i mean this thread is to discuss the slowdowns of screamyx, they said it on the first post they wont close it down until it's fixed, and look how long this thread had been and how many posts are there from v1. When you say "Just bear with it for a while" do you know that in english a WHILE is a LONG TIME?! I'm not going to stay and pay for this shit service!?Just bear with it for a while,I know it might sounds stupid or idiotic but what can you do seriously??? Unless you go post a letter to The Stars, you might just get it fix. OR go and gather up some people who hates Streamyx like you and the others to organize a protest and stand at their headquarters??? Most of the broadband in M'sia are problematic as well.....Maxis is slow,Celcom coverage also bad, P1 wimax slows down at certain times or weak signals. "I know it might sounds stupid or idiotic but what can you do seriously???" - As i said on my previous post : QUOTE So i waited and sorted out all infos i need to know in terminating my streamyx account and phone line once and for all. Gave me 2 forms to fill and then says account should be terminated within 3 days after submission. Which i'm going to do next week So that is what EXACTLY I am going to do. If you want to wait like a stupid person who does not have any other choice (because you choose too) - so be it, and stay with what you claimed to be 'the best'.. QUOTE(oumind @ Apr 22 2009, 07:38 PM) If I were Screamyx user, I would subscribe to 1Mbps plan (RM 99) since TM may not have bandwidth to support higher subscribed rate and get a proxy from Singapore for international traffic since TM usually has better connection to Singapore than other foreign countries, e.g. vps #1 from gplhost.com at RM 44 (USD 12 x 3.7). Total cost for one person = RM 99 + 44 = RM 143. oumind, I am on that 1mbps screamyx.. what do you mean if you were a screamyx user? If you're not, don't ever be! It's nothing but total crap. Even if you're on 1mbps or 368kbps or whatever package, it's the same provider with the same service. And WTF with the proxy again and this " since TM usually has better connection to Singapore than other foreign countries" from what basis did you get this? How you want to handle this issue is up to you :-) the short simple summary, i will abandon screamyx!! there are lots of choices out there like celcom (i know this still under tmnut shell, but at least i heard their service is not too bad), digi, maxis, etc etcs. ABANDON SHIPPP!!!~~~~ Lol.. sorry guys i do not intend to bang yourself personally, esp Omochao - it's just i am really upset how well you guys handle these situations. Darn.. why didn't i think of that before... |
