Made a complaint to TM Net customer service(5)

It should be a nice day.After facing thousands of times of disconnections,the line comes into stable and performing well since 10am today.

I have used the connection for 2 hours.It runs softly and achieves the performance indicators regarding to speed(2M) and SNR(21db).If it keeps working well,I will call to TM Net customer service tomorrow to close up the report and ask for a rebate for the faulty period.Please bless me! :D

Made a complaint to TM Net customer service(1)

In recent several weeks,I always met frequent disconnections and there seems to have no improvements at all.So I decided to make a complaint to TM Net customer service yesterday.I called them in the afternoon.Luckily I just waited for minutes until they picked up my call.After troubleshooting procedures,the staff helped me lodge a report and told me that normally the technician will do their work in the coming 2 working days.

Today,starting from 3 pm,my connection was extremely bad and sometimes even can’t get any signal(DSL light was blinking).I guessed the technician was checking my line.So I just left it alone.At 8pm,I received a call from technical department asking me whether my connection was improved.I replied a big ‘NO’ because I can’t get any connection at all.After all official wordings,the staff promised me that she would follow up the case and arrange a technician to check the wiring as soon as possible.

At 9 pm,I could get connection finally.So I entered the modem control panel there and want to figure out whether the working line was under good quality.

You can see that Downstream Margin(SNR) is so low.I think that’s the reason why my line always disconnected.I know many factors could affect it,such as long distances between the house and DSLAM,bad quality of copper telephone line,faulty on DSLAM port and et cetera.My place is 2.75KM away from the neatest DSLAM,thus Downstream Line Attenuation is 45db which might be quite high.To set up a new DSLAM near my area is the best solution.However,I don’t think they will do it just for a single customer.

Therefore,I still need to wait them find out some other effective solutions to rescue me out of this marsh.

Streamyx 2M Combo officially activated today

Yesterday I received an sms that somebody would come to my house regarding to my Streamyx by today.

This morning,a Malay guy was coming quite early and brought to me a modem(‘Billion’ brand with life time warranty),checked for DSL status and corrected some wrong settings of my ports by calling to exchange center.After his configuration,I find that my line has been capped to 2M too.But at the same time,the line quality seems to be better a bit.

I’ll keep on testing in the coming days. :)
