Test Internet connection speed

Yeah… I just upgraded my TM Net Streamyx internet package from Streamyx 512Kbps to Streamyx 1.0Mbps. I submitted the upgrade application just before Malaysia Budget 2010 that will give RM500 tax relief on broadband subscription fee. Anyway, I feel that my Internet connection speed was slow and needed to be upgraded to catch up. Therefore, I did it.

So how to test internet connection speed? There is a free tool from TM Net itself ~ TM Speedometer. With it, you can test your Internet connection speed with local server at Brickfields (Kuala Lumpur), Kelana Jaya (Petaling Jaya) and Cyberjaya. However, the test only cover connection within Malaysia only (Most of the Malaysia web servers are located there)

Download latest firmware for Aztech DSL600EW

My 5 years old Aztech DSL600EW ADSL2+ 4-Port Ethernet USB Wireless-G Router stopped working after I upgraded my Streamyx connection speed from 1 Mbps to 4 Mbps. It serves me well for the past few years. Initially, I thought something might be wrong from TM Streamyx part because Aztech DSL600EW DSL light started to blink and always get disconnected after changed to 4 Mbps port. Contacted TM support and TM appointed installer for this issue. And finally found that my Aztech DSL600EW cannot support 4 Mbps connection. Why? The new Innacomm W3400V WiFi Modem managed to get connected to Internet.

Slow TMNet Streamyx, UniFi connection speed. Why?

Slow… Slow… Slow… My Internet connection is very slow since early morning today. Especially connection to US. Guess what? TM announced that there is a fault on the Asia-America Gateway (AAG) submarine cable network linking Malaysia to the United States and North Asia. Therefore, all TMNet Broadband customers who use Streamyx and UniFi are affected by this.

Celcom Broadband Mobile Internet Review

I started to use Celcom Broadband since I got my very first smartphone ~ HTC HD2. That was Celcom Broadband Basic with 384kbps. Got upgraded to 512kbps after few months. Then I downgraded to Celcom Broadband Entry on Voice with 384kbps connection speed only but cheaper price. Then it changed name to Celcom Broadband mBasic. And once again speed was upgraded to 700kbps.

Celcom Broadband Mobile Internet is my backup Internet access at home and primary when on the road. There are 4 Celcom Broadband Mobile Internet Plans currently ~ Celcom Broadband mLite, Celcom Broadband mBasic, Celcom Broadband mAdvance and Celcom Broadband mPro. All of them have the same connection speed at 3600kbps but have different bandwidth volume and price. Once again, I changed to the cheapest plan as I want to get 3.6 Mbps connection speed compare to 700kbps on old plan. How is the Celcom Broadband Mobile Internet performance? Let’s find out…
