Not too bad from the dreaded Streamyx. Still loses by 400Kbps to my Maxis Broadband USB. Downloads, that is.

I’m impressed. 1.7Mbps connection. On the 17th floor of my apartment. Needless to say I am cancelling my Streamyx since it’s been down for over 2 weeks already. Eat that, TM.

P.S: Upload speeds are stupid though.

Again. http://vernonchan.com/2006/03/slowmyx-strikes-again/ http://vernonchan.com/2006/03/slowmyx-strikes-again/#comments Sat, 25 Mar 2006 17:29:00 +0000 vernieman http://www.scratchdisk.biz/vernonchan/?p=329 I am appalled. Flabbergasted. Helpless. Angry. Frustrated. Disappointed. Find all the verbs you can think of, and insert them here ____. My connection at home is pretty fucked I tell you. I know I’ve bitched, ranted, whined and complained about this time and time again, but as long as our national internet service provider continues to shove bad service down our poor Malaysian throats, I ain’t backing down muthafucka.

Things took a turn for the worse this past week. Speeds were as low as 60Kbps if I could connect at all. Bloody ports could not hold consistent pings, shutting down every 5 minutes. This happens mostly on downloads. Uploads seem ok, although for my sakes (and sanity), downloading holds far more importance.


I feel the world just flew past me. Blazing fast!


Ah…speeds of the 21st century!

Latest news, from the horse’s mouth, is that a third party contractor dug up TM cables at Dataran Maybank, causing connection problems and slow speeds. Hmmph. Believe what you need to believe. That doesn’t explain the shitty speeds I’ve had to put up with for more than a month. I’ve received a payment reminder from TM, but I can’t give two flying fucks about paying. I have consumer rights goddammit. I pay for 1Mbps and you give me 100Kbps. I WILL NOT tolerate such madness.

Whilst my hair drops at an alarming rate, my blood boils. My facial muscles toned from all the wincing and orgasm-like grimacing. Arrgh.

This is bad. Bad. Bad. Bad.

The frustration continues.

This is hilarious. How’s that for a vote of confidence? By the way, my crawling net speed issue is still unresolved. Apparently it is due to a port problem which is directly related to the main switch. They are supposedly awaiting a switch upgrade which they are testing and pending approval.

Hah. Whatever. Just make sure it gives me at least 800Kbps. And in a huff, please!
