HELP: Wired broadband in KLCC condo

mx5er — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 03:51:16 +0800

Hi everyone. Thanks for the great forum, and good to see enthusiast sharing knowledge and thoughts.

I am just doing some homework for my potential tenant. Cost bear by me though unfortunately...

I need a wired broadband in a KLCC condo (situated approx 100metres from 50250 )

I have heard a lot of suicidal news and thoughts from fellow forumners regarding Screamynx + the buggy aztech wireless router.

Would you be able to recommend me a good wired broadband. My developer told me Screamynx is the sole provider.

Can anyone share with me with ur" Screamnyx user experience" around the KLCC area

and which wireless adsl router shld i settle for?

All I know is

1) MY cable Buffalo HP wireless is great! I have never had any issue with it
2) D-link wireless cable router provides > than avg reliabiltiy
3) Thomson O2 box II adsl router - OK, reliable connection but poor performance
4) Belkin cable router: VERY bad, but was thrashed by a group of heavy downloader student 24/7
5) netgear cable router: so so....

Would u pls advise me which ISP provider shld i use if screamnyx is not the only one in the area.

and which adsl wireless router shld be married to it?

Reliability and plug and play capability is a must, as I am soooooooooooo far away from the klcc pad.

User profile: Unknown. but I doubt he is a heavy user as he is rarely there. But break down incidence still need to be kept to minimum

Thanks.

Hi everyone....... Please help, I thoroughly appreciate it

I need some advice for the above and the list are below.

TV: A must spec: >42inch, 100mhz LCD SD HD ONLY.

Budget 2.8k - 3.5k max. Found the famous Panny P42x10k RM3299 currently being discussed by everyone in the forum.

I am looking for bang for bucks! but must be good as well. At least mid quartile std.... in front of common eyes not enthusiast
Use for Astro + DVD only

Any brand is acceptable, as I am not a brand snob
Please use Samsung Serie 4 and 5 as a benchmark. i.e better / worse than Serie 4 / 5 thnx...

I think Astro is 720p broadcast, thus a SD HD ready is good enough for me.

Please: Tell me model number so that I can do some homework on the net.
Recommended dealer?

Advise: The current Astro decoder - what connection is it to the telly? --> Found the answer: Component on the latest decoder. Thnx.

HTIB: i.e All in one box (DVD& receiver in one box powering 5.1 spkrs setup Active Subwoofer if possible) or better still DVD player ( receiver powering 5.1 setup, again active subwoofer if possible)

Quality: As long as most people say OK can already

Aesthetic value is a must. Eye candy

I can forget about the power spec, cause the living is quite big and it wont fill the room unfortunately. BUT this is for rental property only.

Very tight budget. RM1-1.5k MAXXXxx

Please: Tell me model number so that I can do some homework on the net.
Recommended dealer?

PLEASE DONT PERSUADE ME to deviate from my spec

Such as Plasma better than LCD - LCD fit for purpose in this case.
or FULL HD vs HD ready - Astro is SD 720
or HTIB - Tight budget

I just need it for a high end rental pad thus a certain spec must be met / std visually and audio

Bang for bucks option pls.

other bits I need

where to get all these small appliances and and any specific model / spec u recommend pls

Basic microwave : Panasonic Microwave RM350 Price OK?

Any recommendation for (Microwave Oven) - just noticed email is microwave oven instead. DUH...

Electrolux vacuum cleaner Bag ged version Rm180 Price ok?

Coffee maker: Electrolux coffee maker Rm150 Price ok?

Juicer: I need to proper juicer not blender. Pls advise on price?

I know this sounds weird particularly house appliances in this thread / category of forum. but pls help if possible.

Thanks

Sorry mod - weird request, but I am overseas. and sis knows ZILCH about electronics.

thanks again
