Streamyx Connection

Recently I have been seeing many people have been saying Stremyx sucks because of their unreliable connection and frequent disconnections. Facebook and twitter is the number one ranting site when it comes to streamyx. Hashtags like #Streamyxsucks are widely used among the Twitter users.





I have been using Streamyx for almost 6 years! I still those old times where you have to dial up in order to surf the internet. Now I can just on my modem and within a minute I get my internet connection. For me, I am a heavy user when it comes to using the Internet. I have tried many other services and they always seem to fail at the time of need.

On average days I torrent at least a movie, play games and surf the net via my wifi network. My internet connection is connected 24 hours a day and at last 150 hours in a week. Downloading a movie has been a breeze. I am using a 1MB line and I pay rm88 a month. Downloading at 105kb/s which is my average speed and touching nearly 150 kb/s which is the maximum I have seen on random days. Playing games like Modern Warfare 2 and World of Warcraft has not been an issue for me as I always get the lowest pings when I frag!

I still remember those days where the 60.xx IP was the hot IP among users. Connecting on the 60.xx felt like you have just strike a lottery. Now I only connect to 115.xx and 118.xx. I don't know what happened to the 60.xx but I had a great time while it lasted. Evethough with the new 118.xx IP, my connection is still blazing fast!



Recently a new Internet provider called "Potong" came into the scene. They claim to be the fastest wireless broadband. From what I have learnt and experience, nothing beat cable Internet connection. The new Internet Provider have been promoting their services widely in the media. Streamyx counter fought back with their ad(above) and offered a new promotion to users.



Recently Streamyx fixed the new Fiber Optics behind my house and the connection has improved tremendously. Last year I wished to subscribe to the 4mb promotion offered by Streamyx but the 4mb connection is still not available yet. I hope streamyx can install the new connection at Subang as soon as possible and hope my number of years with Streamyx will continue!

Some of you might be asking, the Japanese and American are offering 10mb connections at cheap prices. Sure that would be awesome. But the down side I can't live is the quota given. I can use a 10Gb quota within a few hours and if I were to stay in Japan, I am sure my connection will be terminated but not with Streamyx. Some even said they want to migrate because of the internet connection. I can't say much as it is their decision. Well, that is all and No! I am not a Streamyx fanboy. Just expressing my thoughts after using streamyx for a solid 6 years.
