Tour of My Existence

Streamyx and BroadBand.
Same objective, provides internet, however, differs in so many ways.

1. Connectivity
Streamyx, requires a telephone line to function (WIRED). BroadBand; doesn't have to (WIRELESS). It works using Plug & Play (PnP) function. Just install the driver; and it'll work. Streamyx also go through the same process, but it requires much more detail procedure. Which is easy and simple; where the manual are provided.

2. Connection Speed
This is a major issue in BroadBand. BroadBand can't sustain its speed; which influence by some factors; number of BroadBand users, distance to the tower, etc. Sometimes, the connectivity may be Too Strong; and some other time the signal might be Too Weak or No Connection at all; due to a high number of BroadBand Internet users. This, has never happens to Streamyx.

3. Data Transfer Limitation
This has something to do with the Connection Speed. Every BroadBand user, as far as I know, is provided with certain data transfer limit. Once this limit is reach, then, the connection speed will drop down to unacceptable amount. This is why, usually, in the beginning of every month, the speed is HIGH and gradually becomes LOW as the time passes, accordingly to the frequency of its usage. Once again, this has never happes to Streamyx.

4. Portability
In terms of portability, BroadBand wins in this category. You can use the BroadBand device, anywhere and everywhere. As long as there is internet connection in the surrounding area. Even though Streamyx have also portable wireless modem, it can't provide a high speed internet connection.  

5. Power Supply
As the Streamyx modem is big and bulky, it requires a high amount of power supply. That's the reason why it has their own power cable. On the other end, BroadBand doesn't require power plug as it is very small and has cool design. It just need miniscule amount of power supply from the USB port in order to function.

If only I buy a BroadBand, I'll buy this one. Just because I am a Maxis user. [source]

As for conclusions, Streamyx and BroadBand have their own pros and cons. One may provides portability, and the other maybe not. One may have sustainability and the other maybe not. This shows that, we can't have it both ways, but hopefully, someday, we will.
