It's a love hate relationship

As most of you would have known by now... i have this love hate thing going on with my Streamyx connection...sometimes i love it but most of the times sadly...i have problems with the connectivity.

Things got worst the past 2 months and the worst of the worst being the month of november where i was totally unable to connect! I think i must be the world's biggest dunce for not doing anything...yes i did called up the support center but their technician only came when no one was at home and to tell the truth, i dont really have faith in them...

so i decided to cut off my streamyx and to sign up for the celcom broadband...and my procrastinating got the better of me and i delayed the unsubscribing part up till now....i decided once and for all....I M GOING TO DISCONNECT MY STREAMYX CONNECTION TOMORROW MORNING!!!

very determined already!

so i reached home just now...

turned on my pc...

and just by chance glanced at my modem for a while....

and lo and behold...the DSL light which has been blinking non stop like the lights on my christmas tree for the past 1 month is now STABLE!

WTF....i turned on my browser...and I see the Google page staring straight back at me...and so here i am blogging! How like that??? it's like my internet connection is begging me not to disconnect it 'x' or i could be going crazy...HELP!!!!

Update :

Look at the speed!!! omg...i really dont know what to say...i think i will give streamyx another chance 'x'

Friday

It is now 4.04pm on a Friday afternoon and for the past 2 hours or so, all network lines in the company was DOWN...

everything down EXCEPT for the internet!

isnt that an irony? hehehe...i think the company is trying to tell us to surf more =x

being a software developer, without any network connections it is quite impossible for us to work as we cant connect to the server and hence we cannot do any testing or any running...honest! :P

in fact, i was surfing too much for the past one hour i was feelng a little bored of surfing already...hehehehe...

so here's wishing u a wonderful weekend till i get my internet connection back again...

yeah u guessed rite...i m stil internet-less (at home lah i mean)

To Hell with Streamyx!

Finally i am able to go online again and to post something in my blog with no thanks to our "efficient" Internet Service provider ... Streamyx!

It has been almost 2 weeks since my last confesssion connection and even before that, my line was erratic with on and off connection and slow speed!

I called up Streamyx service center and i must say they tried to be helpful but there is nothing they can do to help me as i m still unable to connect to the internet. Their so called 'technicians' did come to my house without any prior appointment and left a note saying there was no one at home...

What??? you expect me to be at home in the morning on a working day just to wait for u to come ah??? I think the phone has not yet been invented from where they come from

So after the long and abusive relationship with streamyx i m deciding to subscribe to celcom broadband ... i was a little hesitant to switch as celcom broadband has a lower speed than streamyx so i tried it out with the one day subscription which only costs me RM6 and look what the speedtest gave me...

not bad huh??? I could run p2p programs, stream videos and download games all at once and it seems to be quite reasonable...in fact, it seems to be faster than my streamyx

so what can i say??? lets bring streamyx down!!!
