13. |
What are the differences between ADSL and SDSL?
ADSL stands for Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line. It allows you to simultaneously access the net and use the phone or fax (at the same time). SDSL stands for Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line. The difference between ADSL and SDSL is; ADSL has a different upstream and downstream data transfer rate (upstream higher than the downstream) whereas SDSL offers the customer a symmetric upstream and downstream bandwidth to the customer (eg. 1.5Mbps SDSL package offers the customer 1.5Mbps downstream speed as well as 1.5Mbps upstream speed). Technically, SDSL also does not allow voice/fax (PSTN) over the same copper. |
14. |
What are the differences between xDSL connection and Dial-up connection?
xDSL does not dial to public switch telephone exchange, it connects the customer direct to the Internet. It is fixed to the telephone number which you provided when you apply for the service. In contrast, dial-up modem can be used at any premises to log to tmnet. |
15. |
What are the differences between xDSL technology and ISDN?
ISDN allows you to have many different digital features, such as PABX and digital fax. ISDN requires you to have a special telephone line (i.e. you have to do a new wiring) while xDSL does not (it uses the existing copper line at your premise). ISDN is a dial-up service while xDSL is a always-on connection. Also there are wide ranges of bandwidth available for xDSL (ranging from 384kbps to 2Mbps) compared to ISDN which only have limited range of bandwidth. |
16. |
What are the differences between xDSL and Leased Line?
Leased line let users connect from point to point without sharing the channel with other Internet users and also without restrictions to the distance. Thus leased line offers a better security with the service typically ranging from 64kbps to 2Mbps. Leased line is very expensive compared to xDSL. xDSL is however easier to install at the customer premises. xDSL is categorized as best effort service while leased line is premier or guaranteed bandwidth service. |
17. |

Troubleshooting FAQs
Some troubleshooting tips for tmnet streamyx home users:
I can't get connected to the tmnet streamyx service. Why?
Phone line
In order for you to use the tmnet streamyx service, you must ensure that your phone line is in working order.

Modem - line - filter connectivity
You need to check your modem - line - microfilter connectivity. Please ensure that all the cables are fitted properly and the modem is powered ON.
Modem 'link' light status
Does the modem 'link' light continuously blink?
If yes, then there is a local access problem between your modem and the DSL Access Multiplexer at the nearest local exchange. This could be due to several reasons:
A faulty modem.
Lost connectivity from your house to the exchange.
Reboot your modem (switch off your modem, wait for few seconds and then switch on the modem again). This will re-synchronize the modem with the DSL Access Multiplexer at the local exchange. Wait for several minutes until the 'link' light stops blinking. If the 'link' light continuously blinks even after few reboot cycle, please call tmnet Customer Interaction Center .
Check Username and Password
One of the most common problems is typing in the wrong username or password. Please ensure that you have typed in the user id in userid@streamyx format. Please re-type them and try again. If you are still unable to get connected, it may be due to other problems.
If none of the above steps solve your problem, please call tmnet Customer Interaction Center at 1-300-88-9515 for further assistance.

- A faulty splitter/filter.
Try to disconnect your modem from your current phone line connection and check if the noise is still there. If it is, please call your nearest Kedai Telekom to get your phone line checked.

I cannot send mail to other ISP's email account. Why?
TM Net users who use tmnet streamyx or 1515 for their Internet access may face some difficulty in sending mail while using other ISP's email accounts. Due to security concerns, some ISP's block access to their smtp server especially for users who are trying to access their smtp server while using another ISP's Internet access. For example, users using the tmnet streamyx service will not be able to send email while using another ISP's email account.
To work around this problem, you can use the respective ISP's webmail to send and receive email. For example, TM Net's webmail address is at http://webmail.tm.net.my. Please refer to the respective ISP's home page for the link to their webmail service.

Latest drivers
Please ensure that you have the latest driver installed for your Ethernet card. Hardware manufacturers normally release newer versions of drivers to solve the problems that might have existed with their earlier versions.
1. For Ethernet based modems, make sure the driver, which is being used for the Ethernet card, is the latest driver. Using an old driver or a driver with a bug in it could a cause slow Internet connection as well as intermittent connections.
2. If you are using an USB based ADSL modem; get the latest modem driver from your modem manufacturers homepage.
3. For the latest drivers, and bug patches for your driver or your tmnet streamyx dialer please visit the respective manufacturers homepage for updates.
Resources
1. USB based modems tend to require more system resources compared to Ethernet based modems. Make sure that you have adequate memory in your computer if you are using a USB based modem.
2. If you are running number of background programs, try to disable them and then use tmnet streamyx to see if there is any difference.
Phone line wiring
1. Check your phone for any crackling noise. If there is any audible static noise on your phone line do get a qualified technician to check your internal phone line wiring. Noisy phone lines can cause a slow connection, as there will be interference during the transmission and receiving of data.
2. If required, do a rewiring for your phone line.
Remove Spywares
1. Spyware is a technology that aids in gathering information about a person or organization without their knowledge. Normally advertising companies will install additional tracking software on your system without you realizing. The tracking software will then continuously send data to the advertisers server. Currently ther is a large number of spyware being installed in users computers without their permission or without their knowledge. When there is a substantial amount of spyware installed on your computer, these programs will then make use of your Internet bandwidth.
2. To remove the spywares installed in your computer, use some of the free spyware remover software available online.
Antivirus Software
1. If you have antivirus software running in the background, try to disable the software. Try to use tmnet streamyx after disabling the software.
2. If there’s a difference in the performance of tmnet streamyx after disabling the antivirus software, it could be that the antivirus software is blocking your access to certain sites or blocking certain types of data packets.
Personal Firewall Softwares
1. If you use personal firewall software like “Zone Alarm” make sure that your configuration within the firewall is correct.
2. Incorrect settings of firewalls could block incoming and outgoing packets. Ensure that you are not blocking your applications from sending and receiving packets to the Internet.
3. If you are not sure of the settings, uninstall the firewall and then try to use tmnet streamyx
Routers and Switches
1. Is your computer sitting behind a router or a switch? If yes, is your router configured properly? If your router is not configured, there i s a high possibility that your router is routing your data packets to wrong destinations.
2. Try to bypass your router and switches. Do a direct connection to tmnet streamyx using a PC.
*** Please note that if you are sharing your Internet connection with other computers at home or the office, the speed you will receive will be the speed that is distributed equally over all the computers that are sharing the one Internet connection.
