It has been a number of years my hometown installed with Streamyx, if I can recalled correctly it was at least 10-15 years back. You could imagine how frustrated it is, if you were Streamyx user before too. Due to the competitive market in Telco industry today, the 4G / LTE bandwidth provided by Celcom, Maxis, Digi, Umobile & etc. have wider coverage and stronger network. So, can I assumed TM has stopped to improve the Streamyx service? No no no, I should put it in this way – TM is taking the sweet time to gradually improve their monopoly business. DISAPPOINTED!
I encountered this bad experience during this festival season lately. As many of you, I was traveling back to my hometown for Lunar New Year celebration with family. Despite the congested traffic condition, I had spend a quality time with my family members. Nevertheless, I couldn’t bear with the poor connection provided by Streamyx. The network was slow and it even took 10 minutes to open a webpage, not to mention to watch a YouTube video or turn on the Mobile Legend. This is something really hit my boiling point and I ended up to spend more time with my nieces & nephews (Hmmmm.. should I say a big Thank You to Streamyx then? LOL!!).
Although Streamyx “allowed” me to have quality time with family, I think it’s the right time for us to kick out the Streamyx. As a consumer, we should always looking for better services & products in order to enjoy the best quality of experience. Let’s forget about Streamyx and we should go beyond to replace with something better.
Google is always our best friend. I did a research lately on the Internet packages that offered by various Telco companies and I think Digi provided the most valuable package. Let’s have a look together:
What you will get if subscribed BB Deal 8Mbps with RM160/month:
- HyppTV Basic channels: Nowadays, a smart 3 years old kid would turn on the YouTube channel instead of the HyppTV – variety with more options
- UNLIMITED TM WiFi: But slow! Of course it is UNLIMITED because no one can assess
- FREE Dect Phone: Does anyone still using Dect Phone? Well, no harm to have one at home but even my grandmother is using a smartphone. Hmmmm..
- FREE Calls nationwide to TM Fixed line: The TM Fixed Line user in my mobile contact list can easily count with my 10 fingers (unless it is a corporate office number).
- FLAT RATE RM0.10/min to all mobile: Do you know that the other Telcos are offering FREE CALL to all networks?
No offense, however I personally think that most of the services you received from Streamyx Package are obsolete.
What you can enjoy if subscribed INFINITE Internet with RM150 /month:
- INFINITE calls: Talk as much as you can! Talk until you have no more saliva! (Okok.. I know it’s too much. LOL!)
- INFINITE Hotspot / Tethering: Stream your favorite videos as much as you can! Sharing is caring – now you can turn on the Hotspot and share your UNLIMITED WiFi with the whole family (remember to prepare 10 power banks with you, otherwise your smartphone battery will be running out very fast!)
- SMS to all netwoks: Send SMS to all networks up to 1,000. Well, why you want to send SMS when you have UNLIMITED DATA? 🙂
- RM0.00 Roaming to 10 countries: Good news for frequent oversea traveler as it cost RM0.00 roaming to the selected 10 countries!
Why you should pay more with poor quality of services when you have better option available? Be a smart consumer – surf more, pay less!
