TM and Streamyx Advertisement - yeah right!!
I am using harsh words - but this is just bad. I am not sure how many of you have seen this advertisement where TM is just blowing the horn on Streamyx and how great it is.
First of all, they are only showing benefits here and benefits there. How fast you are and that with Streamyx, you can catch up with the broadband age. One using Streamyx is connected and the work is just been done faster and faster.
Thanks to Streamyx, of course.
Wah, is my response.
Great, funny, and interesting ad (may be), a bit different, despite the Me, Me Me First attitude. Part of TM's new branding campaign, that is what I believe, which so far, really only goes to show off technology and benefits.
But look at the reality!!!
Wasn't it just last month that many Streamyx users around Malaysia complained about the dramatic drop in its connection speed? Has there been an apology to its users saying, sorry, we know we did wrong, and we want to make up for it, offering some additional benefits to its subscribers? How great would THAT be!!
But so far, this is just a Peanut Ad. Nothing more. Don't show off, TM, until your technology really is 150% up to speed.

Andeas, I seriously think you hit it right on the nail. They are just underlining the problems by the way of being in obvious denial.
Simon, I saw the entry. It's moronic. The ad, not your entry. ;)

They should spend more money on technology to make their service better than trying to spend more money on ads and getting more user when their system cannot take that much user.
My streamyx speed drop too...it has been bad....thinking of jaring....anyone tried them?
