 What a horrible Broadband Service?

Hi All,

I recently upgraded from streamyx 1Mbps to 4Mbps service. I was hoping for a BIG change, but unfortunately, all I can say is that the Service and Support from streamyx Premier Division stinks. It is really really BAD.

Right now, my connection seems to be somewhat stable, but my speed is intermittent and Looooouuuuuusssssyh! I am only getting ~ 300 kbps and nothing more!

I have decided not to pay the bill until Steamyx gets their act together. I suggest that a load of us to do the same and put the pressure back on streamyx. If we do not do this we are going to be spending a lot of time chatting and talking and not getting our money's worth.

From a disgruntled customer...

Cheers,
Ranjit

And the net friends sarcastic story：

You might be either surprised, or not surprised at all, but Earl’s connection speed is back to terrible again.
The Lowyat.net boys have their say on earlier visit here: TMNet CEO Visits Streamyx Customer, Earl-Ku’s House
Rigged? TC_Boy has this to say: “There was an article posted here (on Lowyat.net) before about how ISPs usually mark certain ips to be given max bandwidth & high priority because it belongs to broadband speed test sites. They have fooled the user and the press. The speed maybe for real too but only for him or his DSLAM.”
Hmm…
