What do you want from me? v2.0

Sorry for the repeat of the title, I can't get the song out my head. Fine, I'll listen to some Fuwa Fuwa shit after this.

High speed + Low download cap = EPIC FAIL.

A normal user (like you guys) uses more than 60Gb per month to surf the web, read emails, stream online videos (that's Youtube, Dailymotion and such and such, if you don't know), and download a few songs here and there.

You might think that 60Gb sounds like much, but it's only about 1-2Kb per second.

A high-end user (like me) uses more than 60Gb a day. And stop saying that we shouldn't complain much. Because of people like me (okay lah, not me), Malaysians enjoy a faster speed or we would've been stuck with the speed during the dial-up era (Idk, 52Kb?) until now.

And don't fall for the suspension of the download cap. It's just a trick to get more customers. I'm already paying (okay lah, my Dad does) a premium price to get the highest speed Streamyx has to offer and yet their services are as shitty as ever. This month alone, my family experienced a few hours of disconnection every day up until last week. Sigh TM, what happened? Streamyx used to be so good before the mass promotion started.

I think it's an insult to know that they spent more than RM1.5 billion for something this shitty. Since most of the money are taxpayers' money, why do we have to be content with everything they have to offer? It's something we are entitled for and they are in no position at all to even negotiate the matter.

And you know that they're going to use that daily capping basis shit on Streamyx too. It's bad enough that our internet speed is 10 times slower than the rest of the world (10 times pricier too) and they've already capped Youtube, 4shared, Mediafire, Torrent, etc, etc and now this. And oh wow, IPTV? Free voice calls? Triple Play? Bravo TM. This is what we get when one company monopolies everything.
