It has been 10 days since I submitted the upgrading form.However,my plan is still stuck with 2M only.

I visited the nearest TM Point last Friday to ask for the updates of my upgrade and I got a reply that they have tried several times to raise up my account to 4Mbps,but the requests are always failed by the internal system.So I can’t even know when I could get upgraded.

Great!I wonder TM needs to spend such a long time to solve a simple internal issue,how could they manage well for the coming HSBB plans which may cause the system to be more complicated?!

I think TM really has to hire more expertise to take part in their expansion.

I’m using Streamyx 2M ADSL currently which costs me RM140(US$40) monthly.However,the most valuable package from Streamyx should be 4M combo which is pricing at RM160(US$46) monthly,but I could gain double download speed.Thus,I decided to upgrade the current plan to 4M one.The application has been submitted in this morning and the technician has set my port at 4Mbps already.

Modem Status The office in the front counter told me that the upgrade will take 7 working days to complete.

I hope TM could help me adjust my account on 4Mbps as soon as possible.Should it be tomorrow?I hope so.

 

UPDATE:

The technician just set the port on 5Mbps to assurance I could get full 4Mbps speed.

Modem StatusI think all hardware configurations have been done.However,my account has not been updated to 4Mbps.I wonder how long the simple key-in work needs to take for.

Broadband in Singapore

When I suffer the slow international link issues,I hear a lot of good news from other countries.In Singapore,the very neighbour country of Malaysia,it has estimated the Next Generation Network on the board and planned to release it on April 2010.Starhub won the contract and will be in charge of this new service.

The tariff for the new network has open to public.

Wholesale prices are set at SGD 21 per month for a 100 Mbps residential connection and SGD 121 for 1 Gbps, while non-residential premises, such as offices and schools, will have a wholesale price of SGD 75 for 100 Mbps and SGD 860 for 1 Gbps.

In order to clearly get the comparisons with Malaysian Broadband,I made a graph here:

Streamyx VS NGN

We could find that we subscribe Streamyx 4Mbps packages where the speed is 25 times lower than Singapore NGN-100Mbps plan,but we have to pay the price 3 times higher than Singaporean one.

Just unfair!
