Initially this blog entry was titled “P1 Wimax Bill Waived Because of Down Time” but I changed it to “I Hate Streamyx” instead. I started typing and I couldn’t stop.

I was playing my PSP when all of a sudden I get this stupid SMS from P1 Wimax. If you don’t know what P1 Wimax is, well its Malaysia’s first wireless Internet provider!! (Sounding really dramatic).

So what’s new? If you live in Malaysia and if you have Internet this is something of a routine. Internet goes down every couple of days. For the past I don’t know how many fucking years we only had one fucking Internet service provider = TM Nut aka Totally Monkeyfucking Nut. The broadband service is called Streamyx.

We need more ISP (Internet Service Provider) competition in the country. The kind of service we are getting totally sucks compared to other countries.

Let me just ramble on a bit. Currently we have download speeds up to 4Mb for home use. Wow awesome 4Mb line. Now check this, for a 4Mb line it’s going to cost me a fucking RM268 a month. Even if I could afford a 4Mb line, what the fuck am I going to do with it?

I can’t download shit from Bittorrent cause they blocked that shit. I can’t set up any servers or anything cause the upload is a shitty 512kbps. So what the fuck can I possibly do with my super unlimited blazing speed Internet?

NOTHING! That’s the fucking answer. I can watch YouTube just fine on my stupid fucking 1Mbps line. And my 1Mbps line isn’t even 1Mbps, its more like:

It’s not even 1Mbps. Look at the stars on the ISP ranking. It’s a shitty 2.5 star ranking which is equivalent to the type of broadband homeless people use. So I give them a call and ask them why the fuck is my line not 1Mbps and they will say the same shit always. I swear to you, it’s the same shit they will say every time. Try and call for yourself.

• Fawked: Why is my line not 1Mbps?
• Tmnut: Sir your line is 1Mbps.
• Fawked: No I tested it, its not.
• Tmnut: Did you test it on our site?
• Fawked: No.
• Tmnut: That’s why its showing you the wrong speed. Also during peak hours your line maybe slower cause more people are using.
• Fawked: And did you block torrent downloads?
• Tmnut: No sir, we have no idea what you are talking about.

First of all I think everybody uses speedtest.net to test their Internet speed. Second of all I tested my Internet speed at 1.33am. It doesn’t get any more un-peak than that mother fucker.

So it brings me back to the question of what can I do with my super high speed Internet? I’m being sarcastic about the super high speed if you haven’t figured that out by now. Even with my shitty 1Mbps package I can watch YouTube just fine and I can play online games without problems. So why would I want to pay Tm.nut for more speed at an outrageous price? Here’s the goddamn kicker ok:

WE DON’T NEED MORE SPEED TO SURF WEB PAGES YOU DUMB MOTHER FUCKER. WE CAN SURF PAGES JUST FINE WITH DIAL UP. WE ONLY NEED MORE SPEED TO DOWNLOAD MOVIES AND MP3s ILLEGALLY.

This blog entry was suppose to be very short and simple. But I guess after more than 10 years of holding it inside of me, I couldn’t take it anymore. The quality and standard of our Internet Service Providers totally fucking suck. The price is cut throat and the quality is worse than shit.

We need more ISP’s in Malaysia. At least 2 or 3 more. Even a little island like Singapore has a few ISPs. But I heard if you download illegal shit in Singapore they bust your ass.

Ok I think I’m about done here. A couple of hours after I got the first SMS from P1 Wimax I received another one:

Will you check that shit out? For a couple of hours down time they waived 1 day in the next bill. Imagine that huh? If I had a day waived for everyday Streamyx was down for the past 10 years, I would have 6 years waived off my fucking bill.

Actually that was all I wanted to say. But it kinda turned out to be a “I Hate Streamyx” blog entry. Don’t think P1 Wimax is without its flaws, I tested that shit as soon as the service reached my area and it was even worse than Streamyx so I’m still stuck with Streamyx. But at least they have the courtesy to send an SMS and waive the bill.
