Bloody Slow TMNet Streamyx (Part 2)

This is the follow-up of my previous post “Bloody Slow TMNet Streamyx.

The connection is getting slightly better in the early morning of September 8. At least, most of the websites loaded without timeout error… My friend living in the same town was not as lucky. His Streamyx connection automatically disconnected after 7pm each day and back in the early morning.

When I told my friend that the problem might continue until 19th September 2006 due to “system upgrade”, my friend swore: “What fxxx upgrade! Internet connection down for a half month?! It wasted our broadband subscription fee!”

This is a nationwide problem. Malaysia blogger icon, Jeff Ooi is not an exception which he writes “My home Streamyx has been sucky for the last two days and even now.”

Ironically, TMNet CEO will meet Streamyx users on September 15, 2006 for the Streamyx User Group meeting. This is interesting. ;)

My two cents

I am not sure what kind of system upgrade is it, which is nationwide and takes two weeks. TMNet seems like they’re not going to give a further explanation and do not have intention to do something for the affected customers.

Anyway, like this commenter said: “here’s hoping that the UPGRADE really means UPGRADE…”

Let’s wait and see. (What can we do if the broadband performance does not improve after the “upgrade”? Hmm…:roll: )

Update: Jeff Ooi is the lucky one. envy
