Backbone of Streamyx

I am pretty sure that a lot of people out there (Malaysians) complaint about the deng Streamyx connection in their area and these include places at Puchong, Kelana Jaya, Kuching etc. Just what the heck is going on these few weeks?

Ah, you must be interested on this freaking streamyx problem or am I wrong?

Had some acknowledgement of current "upgrades" beng done on the Streamyx connection. Comeon, the upgrade is on the server LAH! Why not transfer all streamline to a backup server while those technician could deal with those silly servers. Oh I've been into Celcom's (Kuching) Server room and noticed they're using SUN Micosystem (majority). Oh? So wicked lor! When you enter the server room, it's like a fish market because the 'sotong' is everywhere. Malays working are relativly lazy........ Ask them where they say you look for yourself. =.=

U see, current streamyx topology is using wired-to-wired concept, and that is the wire hanging nearby the roadside. FYI, ADSL (Streamyx) Connection with telephone lines comes together and therefore the data transfered are limited, so as up to 2000kbps / 2MBPS ONLY. Thunders, rain or even strong wind could anyhow disconnect the internet connection in Malaysia BECAUSE it vibrates the silly wired-to-wired post (due to strong wind and rain waters). I bet you always suffered this kind of problem. You'll always notice a small black box on the post and inside the box contain "streamyx mechanism" to give u the connections (No boasting! I've seen them align those hardcore cables to my room, so I know!).

Shouldn't they just rip of those copper lines and replace with the grounded optical fibre? Where are their BRAINS? MAHAL? or TAK BANYAK ORANG ULU GUNA STREAMYX?

To current's Telekom technologies, they are still using the old type of backbone and that is why it is pretty hard to get through inner state of Sarawak. Unlike grounded cable (under the road tar), the speed of the data transfer could go up to 500MBPS (that is a lot) using Fibre Optical Cable. In Singapore, they are using this or what they considered as SCV Cable. Although it is grounded and connected to all HDB / Housing Estate, but the limitations are borderless. Why? Aha~ because underground ma, no need consume wind, rain water, or even thunder (Cuz it's wrapped with thick SCV and tubes tunneling way on the core locations!

You know what? I saw roads being digged here every day. ALMOST EVERYDAY!

So what's the conculsion with the following picture?


Just because this image encourage me to comment! The Hippo & Datuk!
BOTH WRONG! We should go up to 50% on broadband facilities not 20% !
Sould Mr Abdullah do sth with this? Just don't like the feeling of hanging so nerd on the ADSL Wall! ISDN is too old and too expensive but we're looking forward and MORE or at least if no money they can go for the SDSL. But I perfer DSL and that is more to a world standard today!

    a little late but better than never..my 2 cents worth...Streamyx n Talikom cannot afford to upgrade...all the Alibabas must be fed...so if wan to upgrade to fiberoptic...too many mouths to feed..end up.. instead of a big bundle of fibers, we get single fiber running up n down whole malaysia as backbone. We will still use rusted copperlines as ADSL link to that single fiber!
