screamyx tipu, screamyx tipu

I upgraded my RM66 (512K) package to RM88 (1Mbps) on 20.11.2009.

I called TMnut on 21.11.2009 and they confirmed that I am currently being charged for RM88.
But, the speed is the same at 512K.

After calling them until today (24.11.2009), they haven't solved the problem even after giving me sooooooooooooooooo many excuses. So, the best option is I'll go to Tmnut tmrw to downgrade to 512K and don't want to change that package anymore.

Make sure you do your speed test.

Oxford:Malaysia’s broadband quality is below par,

ciohbu — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:06:27 +0800

QUOTE

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 – Malaysia was ranked a poor 48 out of 66 countries for Internet broadband quality in a study conducted by Oxford University and sponsored by Cisco.

The global study on broadband quality conducted by Oxford’s Said Business School listed Malaysia among countries which had Internet speeds which were “below today’s applications threshold.”

Malaysia is listed in the same category but above countries like the United Arab Emirates, Philippines, Pakistan, Morocco, Vietnam and Indonesia. China, Malta, Brazil and Thailand are among countries just ahead of Malaysia in broadband quality but still in the same low category.

Countries like Singapore, Britain, Australia, Spain, Turkey and the Ukraine were listed above Malaysia as having Internet speeds “meeting needs of today’s applications.”

QUOTE

A similar study conducted last year established that download speeds of 3.75 Mbps and upload of 1 Mbps was the quality requirement needed for today’s applications such as social networking, video steaming, video chatting and file sharing.

For what was classified as “tomorrow’s requirements” speeds of 11.25 Mbps for downloads and 5 Mbps for uploads was needed for visual networking, HD video streaming, consumer telepresence, large file sharing and HD IPTV applications.

Very frustrated and looking for option, TMNut with its Screamix again

Masculine — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:48:54 +0800

Well, just bear with me... I'm very frustrated and just want to vent my anger...

I've been subscribing to Screamix for some 4~5 years.... only problem was during early setup back then... (another angry experience...)
After that everything was OK...

Early November, I moved to another house, just 500m away in the same Taman... to be accurate, I'm living in Bandar tasek kesuma, Beranang near Semenyih. Big housing estate and should be no problem for TMnut...

I applied for transfer... and they took my application and days later, TMnut called me. Sorry sir, there is no phone line available for your house.... What???? What the heck... I can see few wireless signal from my neighbors who are using Screamyx...

I call them, wrote email to them... and as usual... quiet.. endlessly and I'm very frustrated.... I'm a heavy user... my connection is shared wirelessly with my wife and 3 children... I got 4 pc connected at home....

I know there are others like Celcom and Maxis but signal coverage can be said as poor.... What can I do????

Internet connection for CCTV in rural area, How to get it? Thx

liquidoice — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:09:56 +0800

We hv 3 site in very rural area, cell phone line cant even reach. There wont be cellphone station nearby build probably in next 10 years. 1 can get cellphone signal but not stable at 1 bar.
We have been always wanted to install a cctv to better manage the work there, but no telephone line in the area. so we cant watch the cctv feed over in office in town area.

I have called maxisenquiry on skyway vsat (satelite internet connection) the operator dunno much detail.. only thing she know is it cos 800- 1000 plus of access per month.
I googled someone said smart communication providing Ku-band satelite service. rm350 per month listed on their webpage. but when calling their number, it engaged all the time.....

a cost of rm1000 per month per site to just view the cctv feed sometimes only, probably is not reasonable. unless unless theres no options left.......

any solution for my situation?
please help. thanks!

Terminating Celcom BB, Only at celcom centre?

Aneena — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:57:57 +0800

As in title, I want to terminate my celcom bb as I don't really use it any longer, and especially with long holiday session.
Mine is D68, without modem, just simcard...I assume that comes with non-contract, right?

I wanted to ask if it's possible to terminate it online, or via dealers[like those phone dealers that also can help subscribes celcom bb], besides going to Celcom centre [which is far]?

Thank you.

Hi,

We're looking for a VoIP service provider in Malaysia or otherwise that can provide us with a Malaysian telephone number.

The service needs to be SIP compliant and be able to connect to our VoIP system. Anyone can recommend one?

Preferably its a cheap one because all we do is just incoming calls.
