In Malaysia, there is only one wide coverage Fixed line Broadband service provider, their awesome name is called Streamyx, TM NET – By Telekom Malaysia. EVERYONE IN MALAYSIA knew them, even those who never use broadband services. Because they are WELL-KNOWN : in terms of “quality of the service”

They do have an advertisement something like this (so “gay” huh?):

(DAP) Jeff Ooi’s Adjournment Speech. during 18th June 2009 – Monopoly of TM Net is not for the benefit of Malaysians.:

* But seems useless, as we didn’t see anything improvement after that.

Same as Chong Chieng Jen (DAP, Kuching, Sarawak), voiced the frustration of Streamyx users in Parliament

* Same, useless, we didn’t see anything improvement after that.

Even our local TV channel – NTV 7, have a show for them:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

And they are introducing their new high speed broadband service since last year called UNIFI:

Imagine? Our neighbor – Singapore already using high speed broadband for more than 5 years! And UniFi will only expand to east Malaysia from year 2012….what? Another 2 years?

Even the map they use for this “Checking service availability” page, are showing east malaysia need to wait “long long”.

You will never understand how disappointed it is for IT person who worked rely on this kind of broadband services. Especially when the service is suck and “aweful” for 11 years. I’m really disappointed and they leaving us no choice.

i’m going to switch to other wireless broadband service provider this year, say WiMax or YES broadband when it is available no matter what. Everyday i just pray i can get a smooth and working internet connection, so i can work. Otherwise, i really felt like ban on table like this guy:

I don’t know why they picked a chinese actor as a customer to ban on table, most complaint customer is chinese in Malaysia? I don’t think so :p.

I only spend less than 10 minutes to write this blog, but spend more than 30 minutes to search for relevant videos, including waiting for the page loading…. my goodness…

Back to work, PRAY FOR US, for better broadband~

Streamyx, pls improve, ok?

如果你是马来西亚人，你最近应该有留意到这两家宽频公司的广告战。P1 W1max先开球，发布了一系列有关“割掉”的广告来吸引客户转换他们的服务。有些人也许会觉得这很不恰当，因为在马来西亚这里，“割掉”这词是蛮敏感的，也许会让你联想“阉割”。但我个人还蛮喜欢他们如此这般的讽刺另外一家大家都知晓的宽频公司，也许是因为我太痛恨那家整天说自己是全马第一的宽频公司。

YouTube Part 1

Part 2

Now this so called Malaysia No.1 broadband service provider – TM Net Streamyx start fight back with their campaign which telling people why cut? If you hear in radio advertisement, there ‘s a mother scolding her son : “Why cut? Cut liao so slow and “Cut your head la! / “割你的头啦” / “potong kepala kau”.

现在这个一直说自己是全马第一的宽频公司也开始一系列反击的广告，告诉用户们”为什么要割“？如果你有留意电台播放的广告，某声段是一个母亲一直骂她儿子：“不是割了吗？为什么还是这么慢？….哎呀～割什么割？割你的头啦～”

FYI, they use a guy looks like Michael Lai (P1 W1MAX CEO) in their advertisement

Ok, here are conclusion, who are really suck then? Well, they both suck! Want to find out more? Read here
好，现在来个总结，那家比起差？哈～两家都一样差！不信？读这里

If you are my reader, you should know i hate TM with passion, or you can check my post from this tag : http://henstudio.com/v2/tag/TM_Nut/

If you are Malaysian, you should know about our so called No.1 Broadband provider. Else, you can read here (from the Star newspaper website) :

Disappointed with Streamyx services

I love this paragraph :
“As one who has travelled extensively and enjoyed broadband services in other countries, it pains me to see the sad state in Malaysia. When I speak of Streamyx with Americans, Australians or even Singaporeans, they find it laughable that I pay the same as they do but receive 10 times less the service.

It has been my sincere hope for years that a new, major ISP will emerge in Malaysia which will give TM Net a run for its money. Without any such competition, I believe that TM Net will continue offering low quality service while billing itself as a premier ISP….”

You can try to search this keyword from Google, i think this search query might be top search query in Malaysia.

Celcom 3.5G HSDPA. failed too!

So i was looking for alternative (lots of Malaysian doing this), and i thought Celcom 3.5G can surprise me, unfortunately it is not!

I used to wrote a good review about Celcom 3.5G HSDPA broadband, and I’m so regretful by posting that positive review. It just disappointed me after using it for more than 3 months. Most of the time, i won’t be able to get above 1.5MB speed, and most of time, it is same as 3G speed, which is less than 0.30 Mb/s !!!! Refer screenshot below (Speed test result)

0.29 Mbps?!? What’s the different with 3G then? What for i pay another extra RM30 for subscribe the 3.5G that same speed with 3G? !!?

Some people said, if this kind of service is launching in Singapore, that company can closing down within a month. If it is from US, people there can sue them and the company have to apologize by posting an notice on newspaper/television etc.

In Malaysia? Complain also useless, you only can learn to “Get use to it! You have no other choice!” This is MALAYSIA. Satu Malaysia, Satu Fixed Line No.1 Broadband.

K.N.S!!!!!!

Our Information technology is improving? But i can’t see it

你－使用本地蜗牛宽频服务1MB
客户－本地客户和你一样使用本地蜗牛宽频，国外客户使用他们的基本速度宽频，比如3MB

1. 当你在线上做一些发布会、产品演示，但你的蜗牛宽频逼你要找借口和要求你的本地客户等待下载。
2. 当你使用宽频电话软件如Skype和你国外客户进行对话、会议时，但你却要求国外客户把线上视讯关掉，并且一直重复：“抱歉，先生，我的线一直中断，请再重复好吗？”
3. 当你提供你国外的客户一些线上使用指引或教学，但他/她却比你还快。意思就是说他/她要等你下载完毕才可听你的指示。
4. 当你国外的客户要求你在10分钟内把一个100MB的文件传输过去。
5. 当你国外的客户介绍你使用高素质的线上视讯做演示
6. 当你把YouTube视讯呈现给你的本地客户，但你却要求他先按播放，再按暂停，等待下载完毕后再按播放。
7. 当你尝试介绍一些好用的线上使用的软件给你的本地客户
8. 当你举办一个线上购买东西的比赛，条件是要在某限定时间里买到某些物件，但你知道本地的用户是永远没有机会赢的，你却要介绍给本地用户参与
9. 你国外的客户告诉你关于WiMax、WiBro、T1宽频、线上电视、podcast等有多用，但你只能望梅止渴。
10. 你国外的客户来拜访你，并且使用你的本地宽频。

我们的国家资讯工艺在进步吗？为什么我看不到？
