After more than 4 months of waiting, Streamyx has been installed at my home. Was it worth the wait? Hell, yeah. :) I think i may be one of the lucky ones: people living in PJ have been telling me that the Streamyx service has been progressively degrading over the last few months. Not sure what the reason is, but i did a test on Broadband Report and my actual throughput is 309kb/s which is not exactly the 384kb/s advertised by TMnet, but i think the difference can be dismissed as network latency which all providers will experience to some degree or another.

Anyhow, its still more than 7 times faster than what i was experiencing before on dial-up so i'm quite pleased. I've downloaded 100MB of data in 40 mins so that must be a good thing.
Now, where are those episodes of Star Trek Enterprise everyone has been raving about? Time to download them all.
