Malaysian Back to Stone Age
Filed in: Malaysia, Tmnet — April 8th, 2005
The TMNET TEMPORARY SERVICE INTERRUPTION has for about 36 hours… I did not sound about it yesterday because I know network problem sometimes is difficult to avoid but I hope they fix the problem in 24 hours. However, Tmnet failed to do so.
I woke up in the morning, checked the Streamyx broadband and it is still crawling… Never mind, I read newspaper first.
Afternoon, I checked the Internet connection again. Still not fix yet. I give up and decide to read my book.
Night, once again, I check the Internet connection… still same. I take out my dial-up modem and writting this on the dial-up connection, Tmnet called it as Stone Age in its broadband commercial ads. However, dial-up connection is FASTER than broadband connection now!
How ironic!
Anyway, luckily, stone age Internet connection still works. 
Back to the Tmnet news announcement. I am not quite happy about it. Though it has announce about the problem but there is no update about the issue for over 24 hours.
Plus, “slight drop in performance” and “slightly short on international capacity” are not sound responsible to me. If this is slightly affected only, then what will be the serious one?
Today is holiday for Johor state. I thought I can have more time to write some posts, but… *shrug* Hopefully tomorrow will be better day.
Is JARING Tmnet’s International link provider? Or, vice versa?

This is because Malaysia Boleh. We always use this as we attempt a failure.

I am glad I flew out. My two weeks in Malaysia let me experience what a joke the internet service is. Are we still on about Vision 2020? I hope not. What a laughing stock!
Btw, what is the fastest ADSL speed Streamyx provides?

@Jon Choo: 2Mbps for business use. Personal only up to 1.5Mbps. You may refer to Tmnet Streamyx packages

Wot? 1.5Mbps only…
I am thinking of getting a 8Mbps UKOnline broadband service…with 500Gb monthly limit, P2P never looked more tempting.

if Terrorkom’s version of “Slight DROP IN PERFORMANCE” is already slow to a crawl. Imagine what would the speed be like if Terrorkom said “a drop in performance” ?

I had use Linux’s bwm (Bandwidth Monitor) to monitor my incoming bandwitdh, guess how many?
>>>>> 1 kbps ONLY one Kilobytes per second.
my boadband is the enterprise package 2 Mbps, but last week almost 7 days I have only 1 kbps to surf net, and I’m operating a Cybercafe.
dailup also have 56kpbs.
