This come out during an IRC session with a friend from Malaysia, currently on extended holiday in Chile. I asked him to make a comparison because he subscribed broadband internet connection during his holiday.
Suprisingly he told me that Chile internet connection is far more superior than the one offered in Malaysia (read: Streamyx), mainly because :
- He gets what he pays for, 1Mbps connection for 1Mbps package
- The connection is stable
- Bittorrent isn’t capped
I clearly understand that TM can’t do anything about the slow internet connection resulting from Taiwan earthquake, but the low-quality of Streamyx service has been voiced out a lot of time. You can read 1st hand experiences told from satisfied TM Streamyx customers, [one], [two], [ three ], [ four ], [ five ], [six], and the list goes on, as if the name Streamyx is associated with “bad broadband service”
TM clearly does little about it besides blaming users of P2P software for choking up their bandwidth.
It is odd when a country like Chile can provide a stable internet connection without Bittorrent capping while Malaysia that have Multimedia Super Corridor ( a Sillicon Valley-wannabe ) can’t do the same.
