TM Net upgraded their services a week ago probably to improve their ailing broadband services (Streamyx). I did not feel any significant performance boost or stability in the past few days. However, the frequency of the line dropping off has reduced slightly. This is when my 3 Steps To Restore A Broadband (Streamyx) Connection still comes in handy.
I did some speed test in between and noted that my connection is fast only when I am allocated with IP addresses that begin with either 218.x.x.x or 219.x.x.x. The 60.x.x.x range has been known to suck big time. I was totally surprised when I did a speed test a while ago on a 60.x.x.x IP address range and got a really fast broadband connection speed.
I am on the 512kbps package. The usual speed I get on this IP address range is a pathetic 200-300 kbps with a ping time of over 800ms. I wonder if this marks the start towards a better broadband service from Streamyx. I do hope so. I haven’t tested if Streamyx is still cutting off my connection when Bitcomet is running. For this, I hope not.

Better than me, I’m on 1MB package, just did speedtest to NY server aswell and got
@ShaolinTiger
I hope this is not just a temporary luxury that I am experiencing. Anyway, I upgraded my package to the 1mb a few months back but there were no difference at all. Called up customer service and they say it could be due to the telephone line in my area that doesn’t support that speed. Not sure how true this is though.
Fuck them la - i am on 218.111.211.97
and this is my speed …
64/38 kbps, with 999 ping time to the new york server …
its so fucking slow that i cannot load the results
@earl-ku
I’ve occasionally checked my speed yesterday and it remains fast — generally 300-500kbps. I hope it stays that way. Maybe they will solve the connection problem in other areas next.
@ah weng
Wow, that is fast. But try to ping some other server in other country. If you ping the server in KL, it’s a “local” ping. Sure faster one. Now the problem we are all facing is the slower connection to the outside world.
u guys are luckier than u think.. i usually got 40+kbps.. topped at 50+ only..
@dread
Wah, dialup speed. TM Net really need to do something about this.
hi i want to post that my streamyx speed is at 855kbps on download and 154 on upload but i do not know how to post the pic…im on the 1mb package…
@TenthofMarch
Yeah.. that’s the downloadspeed.. the upload speed max at 40+.. i’m not a computer tech guy.. may be it’s my computer (mac mini).. with 10/100 LAN only.. i tried with my old laptop (a fujitsu also with 10/100 LAN) i can get 60+ kbps doenload ..
forget to mention.. i use the 512 package
@jordan
Thanks for sharing. Since you are on the 1mbps package and pinging a local server, I was expecting something faster. Can you try pinging a server in the US and share the result with us? It is always faster accessing local servers compared to overseas servers.
@dread
I am not sure if different computers will affect the connection speed. I hope not. TM Net has a lot to work on.
dude its pinging new york….as u can see
:D im jordan by the way…
@chronic
Ah, yes. How did I miss that? LOL. Thanks.
My solution to broadband problems in Malaysia
1. Sign up for at least two broadband providers
2. Run a private proxy server in Singapore

@myvistakomanwel
It may or may not work but signing up for two ISPs is something not every user in Malaysia can afford.
oh ya… oh ya… I remember there is an advertise told that “I download Mp3 finish in few second”. Why don’t they show us the video?
