As the number of subscribers grow large, the speed of the connection grows slow. Obviously. But only in our country. Fuckin' pathetic. Why? Because I have even read that broadbands in foreign countries offered lower price for a service so much BETTER and FASTER than the one and only, streamyx. Yes, many subscribers in its customer base. That means, many pissed off subscribers like me too. We pay them monthly fees for connection speed that is sometimes as slow as or even slower than the dial-up modem. The most common excuse you will hear from them is "the port is not available in that specific area yet" or worse still, if the residents in that particular area who applied don't add up to a satisfying amount for TMNet, they're gonna have to wait for some time for them to set up a port to enable broadband services. Port this, port that... Port 'lu eh chao cheebuy' man. This is like telling you, they are the monopoly company of broadband service and they want you to use their services but if you want it you're gonna have to shut the fuck up and wait.
Another thing that disgusts me is their ads. Yea, those stupid dances and making 'sohai' faces on the t.v screen. What their marketing team didn't realise is that entertaining ads don't REFLECT the quality of your services. Instead of using their profit (our $) to showcast moronic ads, they should be using those money to improve their maintenance of the connection speed. It is already farked up enough to pay for lousy services provided by them, yet they made it more miserable by making us watch retarded ads.
Do you feel cheated by a company that makes about RM 1 billion in profit, especially after watching their ads? I laughed in my heart when something like 'fast as a bullet' was mentioned in the ads. The major outcry in the newspaper not long ago has proven to be a moment of truth for TMNet. *LoL* Another 'piece' of moment of truth added to my collection alongside proton savvy. When will they ever learn that ads that are absurd and ridiculous will only make the impact hard should they ever FALL. Steamyx is indeed a BROADband service with NARROW size of common sense. I strongly urge that the government allow private companies that offer broadband services to be set up, foreign or local ones. This is of course to make sure TMNet don't slack off and give the people more choices.
TMNet, what is the point of having 1 or 10 gig per second connection if you can't even provide a consistent flow of connection of the basic speed??
