Alright, I know this is a pretty dumb title and this is going to be a pretty dumb topic but it's for dumb people like me to actually learn something about how the dumb system works, so feel dumb for awhile and I'll explain it to you.
I'm back in Miri now and have recently moved to a new house to stay for my last remainding year here (hopefully). The moment I got back here, the first order of business was to apply for a streamyx account and get the thing to work so I can go online again.
So, as a dumb person like you and me, which you, presumably, are if you actually continued reading up to this point, the dumb question to ask would be...
How to apply for Streamyx? (Disclaimer: The following step by step guide only applies in Miri)
Step 1. Go the your nearest TMPoint centre and ask for a Streamyx account application form.
In Miri, I had to take a number for the application counter and wait for the nice computer lady to call out my number. This is a trial of patience that would take you, depending on the crowd, from half an hour to an hour. It would only take you almost one minute when you reach the counter, ask/tell the lady behind the counter to give you the form (if you're wondering what form, look above) and she'll give it to you. Going alone is not advisable because you soon become indistinguishable from the background while waiting and nobody else notices you.
Step 2. READ through and fill in the application form.
At the time of this posting, Streamyx is now offering their Streamyx Combo package and it cost RM110 for the 1 MB connection. The lady behind the counter explained to me that they have combined the cost of the fixed line rental and the streamyx account into one (inclusive of a modem) so you actually save an small amount of RM4.00++.

There are no compensation if you do not want to use their modem so if you feel that you are not getting a good deal, you can still apply for the regular RM88 for 1 MB package. Just write it on the section where the combo packages are listed.
Step 3. Submit the form back to TMPoint.
After filling in all the neccesary details, enquire the lady behind the counter about anything that you are not sure how to fill. The lady in the counter will start typing on her keyboard and you should politely wait.
After all the waiting, you should be given a Multimedia Registration Confirmation Slip, which has all the details of your account. KEEP THIS PROPERLY!. The lady behind the counter should also give you a activation no. to call to activate your account. DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER IMMEDIATELY! (If she gave you 03-26870111, this number is obselete. The real number is 1300-886-888, dumbass.)
Step 4. Patience is a virtue.
You should wait for at least 3 days and check whether your modem/router's DSL light is blinking and stable. Once you find that your DSL light is acting accordingly, then you can call the activation number.
Follow the voice of the computer phone lady, dial the appropriate numbers and speak to the real person on the phone lady to activate your account. Hang up and wait for 10 minutes then voila!
Step 5. Do the Ayam Dance to show that you are a TMNut.
Step 6. Show off to your friends that you have Screamyx
Even Tony Leung also does this!
So there you have it, by reading this you either become smarter or dumber on how to apply for streamyx, at least that's helpful.
