Streamyx is back with their promotion. As usual, their promotion is always the same, RM77 for 1mbps broadband package. When there is no promotion, the normal price for Streamyx 1mbps package is RM88 and RM99, with and without modem. Free online value added service like free English Premiere League highlights, free online newspaper and other value added service doesn’t really fancy me that much.
I just one a fast broadband connection, a modem to online and a reasonable, affordable subscription to let me go online and do my work. The freebies that TM Net offers are not attractive. As far as I know, M1 in Singapore gives out Apple Mac computer, Xbox 360 and others gadget to their subscriber during their promotion period, as well as Hong Kong’s broadband company.
Back to the Streamyx thingy, I am currently subscribe to the RM66/month, 512kbps download speed service. I just can’t upgrade, pay extra 11 bucks to use the 1mbps download package. What I’m going to do is, terminate my account, re-subscribe to Streamyx again for this RM77 package. Get a free modem, but have to pay RM75 for account activation fee. This sucks, but somehow I found out that some reseller offers cash rebate up to RM40. So RM75-RM40=RM25, I pay only RM25 for activation and no installation fee because I know how to do the broadband myself.
I got 3 computers at home, 1 is for downloading TV series, Internet TV and media. So when that PC is on, the other 2 is very slow on surfing the net, chating and other stuff. I just need more speed, 512kbps download is definitely not enough for now. I want like 5mbps download but then there’s no such fast speed in Malaysia. So too bad for me.
