Streamyx Internet service disruption due to cable fault yet again

Posted:  May 20, 2010   By:    3 comments   


Streamyx has put out an announcement on its website to inform subscribers of possible disruptions to Streamyx and UniFi services due to a cable fault on the South East Asia – Middle East – Western Europe 4 (SMW4) cable network along the Colombo – Mumbai segment that links Malaysia to Europe.

Repairs will be carried on Sunday, 23 May 2010.

During the restoration process, TM says, there may be some interruption to the traffic to Europe carried through that cable.

TM has taken pro-active steps to minimize disruptions by providing adequate links on other routes and coordinated with other international carriers in order to provide additional bandwidth for our customers.

In order to further alleviate the situation, TM will also be diverting traffic to other networks to reduce congestion, thus, minimizing the impact to our users.

Despite all this additional efforts to alleviate the problem, TM admits that its subscribers may still experience some degree of service degradation such as slow browsing while accessing international websites.

TM will provide necessary updates on the progress of the restoration works.

Customers can call TM at 100 and select “Technical Assistance” or email help@tm.com.my for any Internet related problems.

[/RANT: ON] Dammit. My sad 1 mb connection just got dropped down to 1/3 of it's usual speed and some files i download are coming back broken. This seems to happens every time a cable breaks down ANYWHERE in the world. Why isn't there enough redundancy to avoid this kind of disruption, especially when it seems so common? This is why I can't trust TM enough to invest in Unify, even though I could really use the speed boost. [/RANT: OFF] Thanks for the update, ccsoya. As of time of posting, no word on any of this on streamyx's announcement page. (http://www.streamyx.com.my/whats_new/whats_new.php?id=announcement)

Um..sorry. Just noticed the date. Wrong disruption. I'm too tired. Any idea if some cable somewhere broke down? Cos my internet seems to be in the toilet right now. *blush*
