Can’t Even Try the Second Chance
When you lost the first time.. felt sad.
It’s couldn’t be greater that you have the second. But you missed it either. Isn’t it even sadder.
… … sleepless night.
50% of Broadband Penetration
Yes, that’s great to have the vision to increase broadband penetration as much as it can. However, penetration rate is one. But what is the quality of service?
Just right after the announcement by PM Najib, we are again, facing the slow connection to overseas due to damaged sub-marine cable. In the memory we are way too often to suffer from this type of problem – unless you don’t feel once a year is not bad enough. But it really affect a lot of my work and I believe, a lot more other person who rely a lot on Internet connection to perform their day to day work.
What a joke.
Report grabbed from TheStar:
KUALA LUMPUR: Telekom Malaysia Bhd’s (TM) Internet service was disrupted by a damaged underwater cable circuit at the Asian American Gateway (AAG) in Lantau, China.
In a statement issued yesterday, TM said due to the damage at AAG, which links Malaysia to the United States, customers surfing websites hosted in Hong Kong and the US would be experiencing slow connection.
Those using Internet protocol (IP)-like virtual private network (VPN) and critical business applications linked to Hong Kong and the US might encounter service disruption.
The statement said to overcome the problem, several Internet lines were directed to alternative connections to reduce traffic congestion.
With repairs under way, traffic to North America and Hong Kong would experience disruption while traffic to other countries would remain the same.
Malaysia main trunk to overseas down again?!
What’s happening? Internet so slow? And when I called Streamyx / Telekom helpline, the first prompt after greeting is ‘You may experience slow connection to overseas websites’. It’s so obvious we have the problem with the international link. Don’t know how long it will take to solve the problem then.
So how many times we have this kinda problem with Malaysian Internet service providers? My memory tells me that is way too many to be accepted. However what can we do then..?
