Streamyx is so SLOW!

26 February 2009 928 views 9 Comments

If memory serves me right, the last cable break on the submarine segment was in the Middle East as reported by BBC news on Feb 4^th. Up till today, I am still experiencing slow internet access

Line speed test showed the performance of my broadband is acceptable although not as good as normal days. I would understand if access to European sites are slow (as evidently shown whenever I’m accessing LiverpoolFC.tv this past few weeks) but slow loading on Malaysian websites are just bollocks!

What’s TMnut been doing? How about you all? Are you having the same issue? You can check your line performance here.

Heard from my colleagues that streamyx announced that they acknowledge the sluggish performance of their streamyx recent weeks. Apparently they are doing some work and everything is expect to return to normal early March. (They mentioned a date but I cannot remember the date! If not mistaken, 2-3 Mar! HAHA) Anyway, does this mean that Streamyx should be giving us discount for the month of Feb09?

Jen # From my previous work experience, these dates are only estimates. Wheather permitting, it’s not always easy to fix undersea cable. You think TMnut would give discount?

Geram is not the word…waiting for the page to load sometimes is frustrating like waiting for the durian to fall down… there you are under the tree just smelling the ‘keharuman’ durian… sometimes you wish you can shoot the whole fruits down the tree…
