Malaysian TmNet StreamYx Optimization Guide

Well, do you know why? Hmm... they get the same salary if they do their job, and guess what... they still get the same salary if they DON'T do their job.

So, why bother... it's not as if they will be promoted or anything.

oh yeah heard of it before.
they said adsl doesn't work with fiber optic and you need to have a converter (they called it pizza box, i donno why) to convert the signal pulse or something like that... that converter is expensive so they need to have a high demand before they will install one in your area.

brian: you can go to kedai telekom to check your distance from your house to the nearest streamyx exchange. that is the best thing you can do now, about the converter thingy, sorry lar..it's really out of our hands cuz it's kinda expensive.

anyway, it's 2:30pm now, and still no sign of the technicians coming.
I guess I need to go to telekom now leh.

adsl doesnt work with optical fiber ? oh my... tmnet people told me it works with optical fiber...

sometimes the telekom has the guts to say ur hse cannot have adsl because the signal cannot reach ur hse... but the hse is right next to a hse who is also using streamyx...

Bunch of lazy buffaloes....

they can work, but you need to have a converter. and that converter is very expensive.

hmm i thought the converter was to be fixed on their "torpedo-looking" switches? cos the fibre optic cables only connects those switches AFAIK and not to our houses....

i dunno,but i got the 'upgrade' to fiber in 1998, probably mine was a pilot project then. my internet connection speed dropped from 45,000 bps to 31,200 bps. then i want streamyx but cannot. now my apparent 'upgrade' sounds like a downgrade
