Streamyx Needs New Mascot

I still remember that faithful day.

The day i first able to online using Streamyx which is a popular broadband connection in Malaysia 5 years ago. Frankly speaking, the broadband experience provided by the mother company of Streamyx which is Telekom Malaysia Berhad is unimaginably fast compared to dial up connection i used to get.

However i just cant stop wondering why the pioneer of the first Malaysian broadband service uses a hyppo as mascot. Sumore blue in colour. How weird is that?

The guy appears to dont mind a fat hyppo biting his brain off.

Of all the millions of species of animals they can choose, why they die-die also must choose the weird blue hyppo? Let me try investigate in-depth about this.


Well, they choose hyppo certainly not because they are cute, thats for sure. Lets now turn in to the help of Wikipedia.

According to wikipedia, Hyppo is a type of aggressive overweight mammal which cant swim and likes to eat humans! Ok, i'm just joking about the human eating, but they really hostile towards humans and will attack if one get too close.


Aggressive, fat, lazy, dirty and not human friendly. You cant ask more for a worst mascot.

Wait. Maybe Telekom Malaysia Berhad is trying to tell us something using their mascot.

A quick search on the internet review that most part of the world are using broadband with connection speed of 100mb/s. And streamyx with their fastest service, which is only 4mb. I'm not a maths pro geek but something tells me that 100mb is way faster than 4mb?

Alright! i get it now. Let me summarize my investigation for all of you to have a better look.

Seriously, they need to upgrade their system. Otherwise they will likely to lose their business to other rising competitor. Until then only they are able to shake off their current overweight mascot and turn to a new one. Perhaps Blue Cheetah?
