Actually the title of this post should be
-- can real estate agents work without FAST
internet connection ?
For over 15 years, i have been using the most basic
internet broadband package called Streamyx
by Telekom Malaysia.
Streamyx was introduced in the early days of
the Internet era in my country. The speed is very slow,
so slow that to upload a 10 minutes video it would take
almost an hour to complete !!
You can say that the Streamyx broadband service
belongs to the dinosaur era ....
I am a property agent ... a real estate agent.
So it is important for me to have access to very fast
internet connection for the purpose of surfing news
related to Property & Real Estate, downloading data,
uploading videos, Zooming , listening to webinars,
live streaming as well for my Social Media Marketing
and Online Branding too.
But luck was not on my side when i applied to upgrade
my Broadband Subscription Package to a higher and
faster speed.
Either there is a physical obstacle blocking the cabling,
( in my case its the branches of the tall trees along
the path of the cable alignment ) or there is NO more
vacant ports at the junction box ( meaning i need to
wait until an existing user terminates the subscription ) !!

Of course, there are other options ... mainly those
Mobile Broadband. Plus also other service providers
and telcos like Maxis, DIGI, Celcom, etc
But as the coverage for such mobile connection is
quite un-reliable, subscribing to a Fixed-Line connection
is still the best.
Imagine if you are online doing something which is
very important and critical BUT suddenly the line
connection goes off ... OR when you are doing an
online payment but suddenly the line gets cut off ?
Thus i had to other choice but to wait and wait and wait
.... for my turn to be able to enjoy my upgraded Unifi
for my home ....
And finally after over 15 years
the never-ending wait is over .... my agony ended !!
Now i can ramp up my Real Estate Agency work .
