So you just have your Streamyx installed and started to enjoy the blazing speed of your new broadband service. That’s great. But how do you know the actual speed of your Streamyx broadband connection? Today, I am going to list down a couple of free online tools you can use the test the speed of your Streamyx.
Sometimes you don’t always get the full subscribed speed due to many external factors such bad line quality and overload of TM server. When you feel the line is slower than usual, this is when the online speed test tools come handy. Generally, if the speed is less than 70% of the subscribed speed, you should make an official complain to TM by dialing 100 from your house phone and they will arrange their technical team to rectify the problem for you either at your premises or at the exchange point within 3 working days.
Normally during the installation day, TM contractor would test out the speed before leaving your house. However, you can reconfirm the speed by testing yourself using the online speed test tools mention here.
These are the two which I think are pretty good for general use.

Upload speed very very very very very very SLOW!!
Bad use for play online games and windows update
That’s true. All ADSL service is like that. Download is always faster that upload. The fastest upload speed available for Streamyx is 512kbps for BB Deal 4Mbps and above.
Good news is UniFi has same upload and download speed (starting at 5Mbps!). However, not everywhere has coverage yet.
