internet frustration

I came across this article from CNET Asia Blogs: Tete-A-Tech.

My thoughts are exactly the same about Malaysia's broadband. No matter how much we write in, blog, and say anything bad about our broadband, they won't listen.

Let's look at the situation:
Capping: Maxis, DiGi, Celcom
Throttling: P1
The category for the stupid one where they are saying "lalalalalalalala, I can't hear you!": Telekom Malaysia (TM sounds like using a trademark)

Conclusion: Do the right thing the next time the ballot box comes out. (I mean it!)

Next item:
My previous post indicates what they are proposing to improve the current situation.
What I am not sure is the speed do they really mean 10 megabits or megabytes per second

10 Mbps = 1.25 MBps
10 MBps = 80 Mbps (that's quite close to Singapore's current 100Mbps)

I don't buy any of this because it will be the same as usual. Talk only no action. There should be a new rule enforced: capping, throttling, and unreliable at a certain stage should have their ISP licence revoked. Through this way, I feel it will force them to wake up and upgrade their hardware and infrastructure so that the speed remains up to par. Antitrust should also apply to Telekom for broadband.

I think this post is more rubbish than my other posts as well. No direction, random and just simply plain words of rants.
