Streamyx crashes nationwide... again

Streamyx crashes nationwide... again

You know that something isn't right when the net goes down, and the whole office nation heaves a collective sigh and mutters the words, "damn, not AGAIN!"

That's right folks. Streamyx, our country's premier internet service provider went tits up again today at 5.30PM. However, instead of being an isolated incident - as it usually is - both Twitter and our Lowyat.NET forums were set ablaze with reports of service outages. Within the discussion threads, there were also reports of HSBB users facing the same outage issues. A lucky few could still access local sites, but the vast majority of us were rendered without any connectivity at all.

@TMCorp, the official Twitter handle of Telekom Malaysia acknowledged the service outage with this tweet (as seen above).

As of 6.40pm, internet connectivity seemed to have returned, but for how long no one really knows.
