currently we have 2 internet provider , Unifi & Time. We had recruit a technician to help us set up 2 router and load balance the internet.

And now this technician is super hard to contact and connection problem remain unsolved. So we are looking for a technician to assist us on the following problem

1) One of the router keep DC in every 30-60 minutes. (suspect too much users, we are willing to re-setup the whole thing to get smooth connection)
*** we have 20 staff and estimate 50 device connected per day.

2) We have a copier machine that link to a main-PC to store all the scan file, due to connection problem not everyone can connect to the share file.

3) Account department (3users) are using network to access the account software, we have fixed the IP, try every possible way, but occasionally still cant access the software due to unable to detect the server.

we hope to get sifu who can permanently solve the problem and improve our connection! (any recommendation is welcome too! )

Thanks in advance

HoPeLeSsLiNg — Tue, 14 Jul 2015 15:56:30 +0800

Does all the user of TM get call from them to REMIND you made payment on the next day the bill issued?

This time I even get 2 calls per day, and when they realize they have double call me they tried to up sales and want me subscribed to autopay!

anyways to prevent they keep call us?

MAYBANK Foreign Telegraphic Transfer

HoPeLeSsLiNg — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 11:15:14 +0800

I wonder did anyone meet this kind of case before? please share your experience with me.

I have one supplier "X" in Europe which I usually paid them by company USD account, and all the while they received in USD.

Now, there was 2 TT to (X) they received in EURO, and when they convert back to USD, we suffer huge currency lost.
In this case I try to find out which procedure when wrong.

1) I have call Maybank to confirm our side transfer out in USD. "they keep telling me if M2E & bank receipt is USD, then means we transfer USD)
2) Supplier request swift MT103 receipt. (this is how the story become complicated)
3) First I call M2E to request the form
a) They said will email me in 3 days
b) On 3rd (4pm) I call again, they said person in charge went to LUNCH?!
c) They promised call back me on that day, but instead i call them back on 6.45 before they off duty
d) Conclusion is, "we have send email to FTT department it will take 3days to get feedback"
e) I am still waiting they reply (day2 now) .............. "feel frust!*

4) Another TT I made thru the COUNTER (I FEEL SO REGRETTED!)
a) bring my TT carbon to the counter and made request for form MT103 (4pm as well)
b) said person in charge not there AGAIN. I went home and wait for their call.
c) day 3, I received their call and said due to I didnt write "Please do not convert" and their AGENT might do the conversion.
on that form column "amaun yang akan dikirim kepada penerima" I already wrote USD! and proforma invoice also state USD!
WHY THEY STILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONVERT?
d) when I insist want to request MT103 the person incharge said will charge me a RM35 "I said is OK!"
e) Now they want me to write in black and white to request, so that they can send email to other department to request.

1) do we have to keep on mentioned "PLEASE DO NOT CONVERT" even thou on TT form as well as the M2E we have mentioned USD?
2) Why same bank have difference policy? m2e customer service x mentioned any additional charge?
3) Is there any way i can get the MT103 more faster? (because when i speak to ppl in Maybank they are more like a third parties)

Blood Test Report : Excess of Eosinophils

HoPeLeSsLiNg — Fri, 19 Dec 2014 23:43:34 +0800

[attachmentid=4266535]

I have just complete my blood test and the only thing i concern is the excess of Eosinophils.
The doctor said it was nothing serious, and it might due to some allergy.

For your information, I don't have any allergy before. HOWEVER this few week (before the blood test till now) i will feel itchy in difference spot (no swallow nor sign of bitten by insect) and also itchy in throat and start to have cough (especially at night)

The question now is :

1) Shall I do the test to find out my allergy source? or just improve my own "antibiotic" ?

2) Anything I shall take note on the excess of Eosinophils? (is this something serious?)

3) Shall I look for a Doctor for details consultation?

P/s this report is for a "HE"

NEED HELP! (Astro irresponsible promoter)

HoPeLeSsLiNg — Tue, 16 Dec 2014 15:15:45 +0800

I have been using Astro for more than 10years under my uncle's name(which does not stay with us). Recently my mum approach an Astro promoter in a Pasar pagi and ask to change of the user name of the account to our name. Well the promoter said "no problem, just provide your IC and we will apply a new account for you and you can cancel the old one (which under my uncle's name)".

Problem now is, when i go terminated the old account, Astro state that we have a contract on Dynasty package which end on 07/2015, if we insist to terminate the account a penalty of RM300 will incur.

When I call back to the promoter he said he already asked my mum, and push the responsibility back to my mum. Well, my mum she doesn't know much about the contract of Astro, that's why I confirm that she won't simply said we don't have any contract. Beside, my mum also told him that we have just change to the Dynasty package and we had change the "box" to a latest version last year ( as a promoter he should notice we still have contract) instead of make things clear, he just help my mum registered a new account.

Right now he suggest me two way,

1) stop paying the old bill (which i think is ridiculous as my uncle's will received lawyer letter or even black listed)
2) lower down the package to RM39.95/month until 07/2015 and terminated (which is almost RM300 =.='')

When i request him to find a better solutions he said he will call back me in 10 min.
Until the next day when i call back and he refuse to pick up my phone.

So how can I solve this without paying anything extra?
