If you’re here to look for the way to forward the phone that comes to UniFi to another phone number, I apologize. I don’t know how. I tried asking TM call center but they told me to call UniFi support for UniFi phone. For the record every time I try *61*XXXXXXXXXX# the automated voice response […]

If you are a UniFi subscriber, and live in the Puchong (plus Damansara reported by achmatibrahim via Twitter) area you might have already been aware of the downtime since yesterday afternoon (8 December 2010). At the moment I am writing this post, it has been more than 12 hours. TM is not actively informing users […]

For quite some time I have been working from home with no difficulties, and I am happy with the speed. Sometimes I even have 3 or 4 terminal service windows open, juggling between them to complete my tasks. However this morning when I tried to utilize my Nortel IP Softphone 2050 to call my boss […]

Tonight’s Internet access was annoyingly slow so I thought of recycling my ADSL connection. Out of habit I opened up WhatIsMyIP.us and was presented with a weird IP. The top text with black background is the actual IP my router was assigned with (60.52.127.200). And then I recycled my ADSL connection. The new IP was […]

3 days ago I was alerted by my DNS-O-Matic script that my IP has changed. Usually I don’t care much because the script will do its job in updating my dynamic IP. One interesting thing is that I usually get IPs beginning with 60 but now I am receiving IP beginning with 124. I am […]

If you’re a Streamyx subscriber and is actively monitoring your Streamyx email you would already be aware that TM is blocking all outgoing connections to port 25 from the dynamic IP users. Simply put, home users with dynamic IP will not be able to use their email clients (i.e. Thunderbird, Outlook, Eudora, Kmail) to send […]

For quite some time Streamyx has been quite stable for me, no complaints. However starting from a few days ago it has become really painful to access the Internet, and to even access my own blog. I guess the problem is with international connections again as accessing a local server hosted in Netmyne is not […]

I was browsing through some blogs when I found myself on this particular post in doBot’s blog. Here’s the official announcement. Familiar Malaysian forums have been discussing this for a while, and as usual I’m left behind again. Some of them mentioned that the 4Mbps is nothing if TMNet still decides to limit/throttle traffic especially […]

According to TMNET: In view of these unforeseen circumstances, the consortium has confirmed that the full restoration will be completed by January 29th, 2007. Your patience is much appreciated during this restoration process. http://www.tm.net.my/…

Looks like my excitement this morning was short-lived. The connection is down again. Received a call from TMNET and they asked me to check my connection when I return home. If the connection is still not OK they suggested I wait for tomorrow morning. I immediately jumped at the caller and said “tomorrow??? tomorrow???”. And […]

I lost my Internet connection at about 6.00pm local time yesterday, and according to my logs Internet was restored at about 2.30am today. This morning I tried to ping some sites and the speed is good. Has the submarine cable been fixed already? -(~/:#)-> ping yahoo.com PING yahoo.com (216.109.112.135) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes […]

Zainab Hashim? Who’s that? That’s the new TMNET CEO. Well, acting CEO. Telekom Malaysia Bhd said in a statement that the company was in the process of looking for a suitable successor as the present CEO, Michael Lai would be leaving his current position to pursue an external career opportunity. Zainab, who has been with […]

Looking at my traffic graph generated from the router, I can see that my traffic increases at night and gradually slows down right after 0800. Traffic remains slow until going up again at about 2300. Interesting. Is TMNET implementing traffic shaping based on hours of the day? Anyway the traffic at night hovers around 10kB/s […]

Everywhere I see people complaining that their Internet access speed via TMNET Streamyx is slow, and there are accusations that TMNET is using traffic shaping technology to limit bandwidth for certain applications. I don’t know how true are these, and have never bothered to check. However lately I have been experiencing very slow Bittorrent traffic, […]

Usually, people will not appreciate the good things being done. They will only rant and shout when things go bad. I don’t like that so I want to post an update of the TMNET case. I finally received a rebate, and my latest bill dated 05 Feb 2005 shows only RM33.50. That’s a total rebate […]
