Streamyx Sucks Big Time

I thought that I should not blame Streamyx for the broadband internet connection that has been plaguing me since early last week. Like I mentioned, my internet connection has never been the same after my set up was struck by lightning.

However, today I learnt that I am not the only one experiencing signal drops. I have, for the record, experienced, almost thirty times disconnection today alone and yes, I am pretty pissed off! I could hardly get any work done at all because I wasted plenty of time just trying to reboot my modem, enable/disable my connection, just to try to get a more stable internet connection.

And you know what? There are some websites that I could not access to. My web host has told me previously that this is a problem with Streamyx. I could access these sites with my Celcom 3G via my mobile device so it is confirmed that these sites are live and there is no issue with their server.

I would not say that I am paying an arm and a leg for my internet service because it is only RM66 per month but I still expect it to function without the signal dropping as and when it likes and spoiling my work midway.

So, yes, Streamyx sucks big time!

Electric Charge

There’s something wrong with my internet connection right now and I can’t blame Streamyx. Haha! The other day, after getting struck by lightning, honestly, I don’t even know where the problem lies in that my broadband connection keeps tripping.

I called up Streamyx and they tell me there is nothing wrong with my line at all. They do not even see the disconnection in their log yet I am experiencing that too frequently.

Is it my modem, hub or cables? I am thinking that I should wait a few days for the electric charge to dissipate but the frequent drop in my connection is killing my mood to work.

I do have Celcom 3G but to be honest, the stability has much to be desired. Let me try to be patient and wait a little while longer. I hope that things will right itself in time. I really have no time to troubleshoot unless I just change EVERYTHING!
