streamyx always recieve complain but they can’t do anything coz too many. we should just cancel streamyx n change to something else so they have less complain. better for everyone. somemore streamyx super expensive n slower than 3g speed

whoever only stays in Malaysia will think Malaysia boleh and nombor satu the moment he or she stepped out and goes overseas then they will open their eyes and really know for sure that Malaysia is not nombor satu dan Malaysia memang ta boleh.!!!!Slow and expensive broadband is one of them Hope for change in people governing us soon if not we will be going backward speed as this is a form of govt subtle controls.I hope the people will make changes in order for Malaysia to move forward.

at the moment, the limit for Maxis are 6gb. I use both Maxis and Celcom's broadband…the problem with Celcom compared to Maxis was, "sorry, we have to manage your speed, otherwise…pay us another RM20 for another 5 gigabytes of your favourite tv series, mp3's and (err…maybe a few favourite vivid dvd's collections) those classic movies that you cannot get in malaysia, and we wont be bothered". as far as i know, FUP were first introduced in the UK because there are mostly heavy users who clogged the bandwith…I think that is fair usage after all…but here in Malaya? I dont think so! how many laptops were up all day and night (except for mine)? Celcom is great!! they profited from the heavy p2p downloaders…ways and means to make money out of free downloads eh?

the best thing is, their excuse for this FUP is – "a regulation from Suruhanhaya Multimedia dan KOmunikasi Malaya…"

hey..! celcom broadband not sux.. It’s Fukced..

Just be honest celcom bband.. just use “usage policy” without the “fair”..
i wouldn’t mind if it’s like that.. it just makes people feels like being fooled by saying it fair.. there will be less complaint if they didn’t say “Fastest, Unlimited, etc..” just tell the truth.. just said “Average speed, limited, usage policy of 5GB/month.” then i will not complaint but still i want to use it.

I woke up this morning to discover that TM has blocked Rapidshare to the point it’s completely unusable. How unusable? Try 1K/s.

That may be all well and good for the “uncles” and “aunties” who don’t use the internet beyond chatting and email, but what about people who do know how to use the internet? What about users who just like to store their hard disk backup on Rapidshare? Are they going to start blocking off parts of the internet in the name of fair usage?

Even the celcom has 5G data usage, still Maxis still on the 3G data usage, this is called backward of Malaysia…

While I am in US, yahoo DSL with no more than USD30.00 for “stable” over 3 Mbps and with no limite of the download and upload, cannot remember how many movie and drama I download earch month…

So, it is unacceptable in Malaysia for this kind of speed an data usage policy..

But in Malaysia, who care about the consumer…

Most developed countries have 25Mbs as standard, most are rolling out 100Mbs, and some are trialling 200Mbps. And behind these speeds is quality and service, not only that but governments are now forcing ISPs to specify minimum data rates rather than “best effort”, which as a measure is really meaningless, but lets the ISP oversell and make lots of profit, I think in the UK the minimum date rate is set to 2Mbps.

Did you know that Malaysia’s internet backbone only runs at 45Mbps, which is hardly cutting edge.
