ASTRO barred from increasing channels?
My initial reaction when I read that header – “Hahahahahahahaha!” And about time too! Now, Astro cannot rely on their time-tested reply when a customer complains, “Hey, I can see some funky white codes being displayed on Astro” with “Oh no sir, it ain’t no funky codes, it’s super-intelligent extra-terrestrial signals being broadcast via our super-duper-state-of-the-fart satellite”.
What immediately follows after that is a Keanu Reeves moment , “Whoa! Dude! Aliens? Awesome!”.
Finally, someone from the MCMC actually deciphered the messages and came up with the conclusion that it’s not a foretelling sign from their Mongolian chimpanzees relatives after all!
The other chafing thing is, apart from dodgy random hokum on the screen, is how the service gets bonked in the arse whenever there is bad weather. It’s like the Gods want some of the Astro action themselves, so they could watch the first-class Akademi Fart-asia.
ASTRO need to make their packages more whippy and let the customer cherry-pick. After all, this IS the 21st century, just ask Barison Nasional who lowballed blogs in the buildup towards the general elections. I’m still hoping that a new cable company emerges in the near future, say ORGASTRO, with orgasmic packages but hopefully not with ASTRO-nomical pricing!
The minister should do the same to Telekom for its bad Streamyx service.
RM 66 / month is too expensive!!!
boyboycute Yeah, the cost should not be more than RM30 per month for a 1MB line and maybe introduce free internet below 256K speed.
By the way,isn’t adding more channels for the Olympic and other movies on Astro benefit all subscribers.The additional channels are free…why the government want to stop Astro from doing that?Only idiot will decline Free stuffs .
boyboycute Did the Govt stopped Astro from doing that? It could possibly be that they need to recover from the BID they had to put in – RTM may have made the bid?
