Streamyx conspiracy

whizkid25 · 27th Mar 2006, 08:05 AM

Hello all. I am just wondering, is streamyx really a broadband network as they say? Considering the inconsistent speed rate and comparing to that of other SEA countries like Singapore. Are Malaysians really getting what they are paying for? And if they are a million customers or so they claim, why is it that TM (formerly Telekom) is losing out? Well, I believe it should be "Let's Click and Wait".

From time to time we always can hear them say doing upgrading....but....do u feel the diff?

It's not conspiracy. It's a widely known problem but no one dares to stand out and give them a piece of our mind.

This does not only happen to Streamyx but to Proton, public facilities in general and mostly extend to all government organizations and services. And it has been happenning for God knows how long. But what the heck... when the election comes, we still vote back the old government. Ya know.. we people are afraid of changes.

Tried 'utorrent' last night. From Bitcomet's 5-10kb/s jumped to 70-80kb/s...

Somemore Peaz has been using it for a while also never tell me... Grr...

Wasted 1 month+ didn't download anything.

Hmm... and I've been wanted to change client, never had the time to do it until last night.
