a pulse tone phone in 3G world

streamyx, also known as broadband in the minds of lunatics is malaysia's the monopoly position internet service, being from a country which gave us the proton cars, and so many other stuff which aren't exactly desirable among smart consumers, you would expect the streamyx to be quite ok...

take for example, koreans make hyundai's and kia's, they could have internet which is not just fast for asia, its fast full stop. malaysia do make proton and perodua's which have exactly similar customer satisfactory rating, and yet the top speed of streamyx is same as mud...

in the modern era, the iAge, where information is considered ammunition, internet speeds plays a major role in the future of the country and also the exposure of its citizen to the world around us. 

so what is this actually means??? are we losing out to the people who eat dog meat in the world of ipods and flat screens? considered it not a contender at all...internet here is so woeful that you'll probably receive your bill before you even load a page of...i dunno a page of blank?

everytime someone brought up this sort of issue, their argument is that streamyx speeds are only at hypothetical conditions...such condition would probably be...

1) no rain within 50-500 miles from your house

2) no sundays in a week

3) petrol price at 123 sens

4) and so on...

here's my question, if adverts are supposed to do a product good, it must be telling the truth about a product, no one would ever advertise a lawnmower which could mow at a speed of sound..this is just not right isn't it?

the fact of the matter is, i subscribe and have been using the 1Mb package streamyx for years...

well....it says 1 Mbit...but here's the tricky bit...1Mb might sound alot, but without having a denominator, it will be just a magnitude and not a speed... this is as useless as stating that a car could do 500 miles and not telling the time in which the car could do!

well, i have experience the hypothetical conditions as mentioned above, and i only managed to get about 130kb/s which is slighty more than 10% of the stated speed....10%  !!!!

shouldn't this be a scam huh??? i mean....just look at what happens if we try to pay our taxes improperly.....let say you're supposed to pay 300 dollars worth of tax, and you could only pay 30 because petrol prices are way beyond the ceilings of heaven.." i'm sorry tax officer boy, this is my best i could do, hey streamyx only perform 10% and still ripping off every single citizen"
