Screw TM!

My house phone line has just installed yesterday after almost three weeks of waiting.

My problem has not ended.

Guess what?

I need to wait for three or seven working days to get my Streamyx done.

That's what they said that they need to transfer the phone line along with the 'Screamyx'.

Please do not tell me that I'm required to wait for another three weeks for the Screamyx.

Fortunately I'm able to get my laptop connected to a Wi-Fi connection of a coffee shop behind my house from my room to allow myself to surf the net but it's available 11am-4pm only.

Screw TM for not being able to give quality service.
We subscribers paying money to this lousy ISP and phone company.

Please stop its monopoly.

What the use of spending much money on the Malaysian Tiger that scored 1-0 against Vietnam last week in SEA Games if we are unable to have the same speed of Internet as Ho Chin Minh.

There are enjoying 10Mbps in urban area.

Does anyone knows that when you want to buy something from overseas, the Custom Department requires you to present them a fixed line number?

Besides that, Pos Malaysia requires you to present them a fixed line number when you are posting some items overseas.

Why government most impose such rules that allows the monopoly of TM to grow even bigger?

What is the purpose of having 1Malaysia Concept ,'People first, performance now', if the government still allows such policy that encourages monopoly.

Once again, please stop such monopoly.

Besides, TM need to work 5+1 days a week excluding National Public Holidays since TM is a Private owned listed company.

This can allow them to increase their creditability.

If Maxis, Digi and U mobile can make their staff to work 5+1 days a week by giving more salary pay.

Furthermore, certain private service sectors in the market requires them to be opened everyday including Public Holidays such as food sector, computing, medical sector, etc.

If these sectors are able to do it, why not TM.

In a nut shell stop TM's monopoly.

Someone please stop the Monopoly of TM!!!

On the 3rd of December 2009, I went to TM Point Pandan Indah to transfer the fixed line and the Streamyx(Should call it Screamyx) of my old house to the new house that I'm currently residing in Bandar Damai Perdana.

Guess what?

It's still not done yet till now.

Yesterday, I went to TM Point again along with my dad to question them about the delay.

Do you want to know what is the reply of their sales representative?

She replied, sir its none of my business so I do not know anything about it and try to call 100 for more info.

My dad told her that we tried already and the person on the line said that we need to go to the nearest TM point to complain about it.

Then she said that she's just a sales representative and she's not involved in this transaction.

Then we demanded to see the manager of the branch.

Do you know what she told us before getting us the manager?

She said that we are stubborn.

So this is what you call productivity.

When the manager listened to our problem, we were told that our address is not valid that became the root of the problem.

We showed her the electric bill and water bill that contained the address of our new home and questioned her about the validity of the address.

Then she called a few numbers and told us that our area is not covered with TM line.

Then we informed her that our neighbour has TM fixed line and we even showed the picture TM junction box located in the field in front of our house.

After a few calls she made, she found out that TM made their mistake.

Guess what?

Taman Desa Bukit Cahaya, Bandar Damai Perdana is registered as Taman Desa Cahaya, Bandar Damai Perdana.

Do you think that TM should make such mistake?

Poorer by RM3000++

Yesterday, I bought a Futjitsu L1010 Laptop for RM2999 and an Edifier HCS 2330 Speaker for RM270 from the PIKOM PC Fair.

As I told you, I'm getting a new laptop to replace my old buddy, HP520 Business Series after two years using him. Now he will be serving my younger brother.

Do you know why am I getting a new laptop?

Well these are my reasons:

Need higher specifications to run CAD for my Engineering Drawing subject.

Need a laptop with Web Cam to enable me to do video call via Skype, Live Messenger or Oovoo.

Need a laptop with longer battery life as my old buddy is very energy hungry though its running on 6 cells.

My brother needs a laptop, so he can use my old buddy when I get a new partner which is L1010.

Need a laptop with HDD shock absorber as my old buddy has his 80GB HDD when dead before replacing a 250GB one.

Getting a new speaker is to allow me to enjoy nice musics without harming my laptop's speaker at my campus although my L1010's speaker is actually good enough.

It also allows me to play songs without switching my laptop on as I can plug my Walkman.
