    hey guyz, my friend might be moving to apartments beside my college.. so they plan to get 3 units to share among us..

    then we plan to get a 1.0Mbps streamyx line :p

    so here is the problem .. streamyx has a minimum of 1year right ?:p
    we might ended up using 8 months only :p
    then we plan to get a wifi router too ..

    do you tihnk it is worth it ? :think:

    But you'll have to pay the rest of the 4 months right? You better make sure you guys collect money first on the 8th month or else the one registering will eat sh!t. :haha:

    Yeah, I think it's absolutely worth it. How can anyone live without streamyx? But how are you going to divide the bandwidth? :think:

    Can you consider getting other ISP instead of Streamyx since you are only using for 8 months? :think: maybe they don't have this minimum 1 year subscription :)

    Get wireless router la... easier. But you are not going to use it right? So, let them share and buy it then. :D

    1MB for 12 people? Mine 512KB also not enough for 3 persons already. :doh: :haha:

    ya they suspend you coz you didn't pay but still the amount will accumulate :twisted: so you end up with no Internet access but a few months' worth of payment :evil:

    It depends on your usage. But 1mbps for 12 people isn't much, you know. :think:

    On the other hand, if most of your friends actually use the Internet only for research, well, it should be good enough. Hehe.. :mrgreen:

    But I think it would be better idea to get one Streamyx account for each apartment. Besides, how would you share the connection?

    By WiFi? WiFi has a very limited range indoors. In my previous condo, I had to place it in the center for all rooms to have a good enough signal. Even then, the signal was not that great in the rooms because there was at least one wall in the way.

    So, I don't think you will be able to share a single ADSL connection using WiFi unless you are all using WiFi-G perhaps? I've heard it has better indoors range but I haven't had the chance to test that out yet. :think:

    Get one 1mbps line for each apartment. RM 88 divided by 4 is only RM 22 per month!! :mrgreen:
