Streamyx is bull$hit!!

One day, a boy pay a visit to www.tvtorrents.com hoping that there are new episodes of his favourite TV shows updated on their website, to his delight, the newest episode of Pimp My Ride is ready for download, so he clicks on the "Download" button and a few seconds later, Bitcomet started up and the download begin. Then, he left his computer and went out for dinner, thinking by the time he comes back, he can watch all the cool pimped out car and inspire him with new ideas on how to modify his Satria GTi, since it would normally take only half an hour to download the 178mb file with his 1Mbps broadband connection by Malaysia's NUMBER 1 BROADBAND PROVIDER.

After about an hour later when he returned home, he rushed to his computer, settle down to his arm chair and clicked open his "TV Shows" folder on his desktop. Something is weird, the file isn't complete, the file icon still shows "Bitcomet Incomplete Download File", so he open up his Bitcomet and to his horror, only 14.6% of the file is downloaded, and to make things worst, the file is only downloading at a pathetic 6kb/s!!

In the end it took 2 whole days to download that half and hour episode of Pimp My Ride. At first he think maybe is just Tvtorrents that is causing the problem, or maybe because his Bitcomet is outdated, but when he tried downloading the newest Bitcomet setup file which is only 3.0mb, it shows that time remaining for download is 54 MINUTES!!! 54 minutes to download a 3.0mb file on a 1Mbps broadband connection?? WTH??

Then this boy went into www.streamyx.com.my and run the bandwidth test...and this is the result he gets...





Now with this sort of results, you say he should be the happiest Streamyx user in Malaysia to get almost 86% of the advertised bandwidth.. but not feeling contended with the results, he now run a test on a overseas server...

So if he can get up to 107kb/s of download speed, then why can't he get it on his Bitcomet, or any other file downloads?? Still not satisfied, he now pays a visit to another well known bandwidth testing website which is located overseas (http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/), and start a "ADSL connection test in Asia"...

AND this is the results..





So he retry the test again, and again, and again, but without fail, this error page will appear again and again...

At this point, the boy gets overly extremely irritated and started cursing Streamyx in his mind and at the same time start having all kind of wild plans to bring Streamyx down...

But still wanting to know what on earth is his real connection speed is, he went back to the main page and select "DIAL-UP connection test in Asia"......

And this time, the proper result page actually loaded...

AND this is the SHIT he is getting from M'sia's "NUMBER 1 BROADBAND PROVIDER"!!!





This also prove HOW BULLSHIT is their stupid local bandwidth test provided by them. They should advertised:

"Fast 1Mbps broadband connection only for RM88 per month unlimited usage!!**"
**Only to our local servers which is in Malaysia and our bandwidth test website. Overseas connection are GUARANTEED less then 56Kbps**


COME ON MAN!! 24.1 PATHETIC KILO-BIT-PER-SECOND??? IT IS ALMOST 3 TIMES SLOWER THEN THE TRADITIONAL 56K DIAL UP MODEM!! #@$%#@$#%#@%*%&#%(*@$&%#^%#^$#@%$%$#

P.S.: I took almost 2 hour posting this because I tried to run the test several times in "ADSL Connection in Asia" before I give up and tried the "Dial-Up connection in Asia" and each test takes almost 10 minutes even if it didn't complete!!
