Good service from Streamyx

Streamyx has changed their system! Instead of taking up to 5 working days to fix a small “unable to connect to Streamyx” problem, this time it took them merely 2 hours to get the problem fixed. This morning all of a sudden my Streamyx connection died on me. I made a call and after going through the usual troubleshooting the lady finally gave up and filed a report.
Surprisingly the problem was fixed after about 2 hours and the technician not only called to ask about the Streamyx condition, he or his system even sms-ed me a status report.
Not bad eh? 
I am not sure since when they have this new system. But to me, it’s my first time receiving such a SMS from Streamyx and it’s definitely make me feel good to be able to go online again after a couple of hours. Last time, I usually needed to wait up to a few working days to have any problem fixed.
So, Streamyx haters and lovers, what do you have to say on Streamyx?

MerDuriaN,
I see. So, now they send sms to remind you if you don’t pay. Fast fast go pay the bill, otherwise you won’t be able to go online next week.
Anyway, do you know that you can connect to the Internet using EZnet 1315 simply by dialing 1315 through your dial up modem? No need to register first, just plug in your modem into a telephone line and dial 1315. It is available to all TM fixed line subscribers. Charges is 4 sen per minute. Not sure if this is more expensive than the normal TMnet dial-up though.

Wow… It is good to hear that. I don’t really like their service. My streamyx was down last time and it took them 3 weeks to fix it.

Too bad my recent experience with streamyx wasn’t that good..
I’ve talked to 3 service counter person, waited for about 12 days, almost screw 2 agents that make my application a mess, to get the application for streamyx done.
And, also for 5 days and still going on.. waiting for the account activation to happen just because their systems says the jumper is not yet ready while my dsl light is stable and tested can be used.
Yet, i like to use streamyx. Just that they might want to improve a lot more on the application part. Especially when it comes to the cable upgrades and jumper issue. They usually won’t tell you that when you’re applying.

4sen per minute is expensive. Normal TMNet dial up only cost 3sen per minute.
Anyway, streamyx connections does not improve. It goes worst here.

Streamyx combo bundle with HP computer is actually a fake offer to trick new customer.
I went to TMPoint at least 7 times to apply, was pushing around between TM and HP. Only realised later that this offer is actually “non-existence” . The offer is too good to be true – free HP computer + streamyx line 1 Mbps for on RM99

Actually which broadband is the most acceptable(not even expecting the best) ISP in the market right now for Klang Valley : Maxis, Celcom,Streamyx, Izzi, U Mobile or Wimax.
Can any good soul out there give new user a clear direction.
