Streamyx is Really Screwed
I didn't believe it at first and now that there is no other factors to consider, I will say it out loud. Streamyx is in trouble!
Look at the download screenshot which I took of 15 times when downloading from various sources - this is the No 15th, taken from a downloading test of AVG's latest AV from popular site Download.com.
Judging from the transfer rate of 15kb/s you would think I was using a dial-up. You could'nt have been more wrong. And I suspect the broadband is nothing but hotair - although I must admit it was fast when I first susbcribed.
In the face of stiff competition, I just hope TM's Streamyx service will buck up. If it doesn't, it will definitely fall flat on its face! It is among one of the earliest service providers and has had a monopoly of the market for a good many years. Jaring don't count much as it is already hobbling towards the sunset of its existence. Not keeping up with service quality and promises to customers will kill any business in no time and I think anyone worth his/her pay at Streamyx should be very worried. If they haven't, probably they have not put their ears on the grounds and listen to the rumblings of their customers. Which is also why they have not heard the thundering footsteps of their competitors hot on their heels - if they have not overtaken them (Streamyx) yet!
And if Streamyx fails to see stiff competition coming, it should shoot itself in the feet because it is simply no good having the promotions all about town when quality and aftersales service are not up to mark. When you promise your subscribers/clients, you have to deliver. It doesn't matter if it is a 1MB or 512K. Heck, your client is not going to give you the two cents and they will move on, brudder!
Next week, Packet One will launch its WiMax in the city. Another launched its service in Klang Valley two weeks ago. And I have spoken to industry players and the common mnn in the street. The people are excited - especially the latter.
Guess what is the common thread running through their complaints and why they are considering service hopping?

to be fair, how would you know it is not AVG's servers which is slow? use a bandwidth test to better reflect streamyx's speed lah!
I had a similar problem. I think it is not AVG. I tested what u suggested, pandankia. speedtest showed it was less than the 512k promised. i think streamyx should buckup.
