Connection Problems using the Net in Segamat

There are a few reasons your Internet connection gets disrupted. This is possible with either Jaring or TMNet (our local ISP's). You will experience very slow connections to sites that are normally fast or you are disconnected frequently.

1) The Telekom line is noisy
If you hear "crackling" noise when you pick up the phone then this is a line problem. You need to contact Kedai Telekom in Jalan Awang, Segamat and report the fault. Another person you can call is this helpful person there, En. Yahya Shari at 9333200. My experience is that they can rectify this problem within 24 hours. Their service is pretty good.

Another possibility is that your internal phone wiring and connectors are defective. Please check this also as it will affect your surfing too.

2) The site you are viewing is slow
There is nothing much you can do about this as this is under the control of the site's servers as well as their local ISP. You can however send email to the respective webmaster to report difficulty you are experiencing in viewing their sites. Believe me, webmasters really appreciate feedback like this.

Another possibility , is that you are viewing a site during peak hours when there is a surge of visitors to a site or number of users logged on to your ISP. This is especially true on Saturdays in Segamat. Nothing you can do but hope that your ISP increases bandwidth in your area during their next upgrade.

3) Line is busy
In the unlikely event you get this message then you need to contact your ISP (Jaring or TMNet). It means that the nodes allocated to your area has all been utilised. You will need to redial and hopefully get a connection when someone logs off.
