Trace complete.

This means the latency sucks. And the max speed is about 10Kbyte/sec.. so its a bit slow.
But the good thing is I’m ONLINE! Until terror-kom come and fix my Stimix / Shitmix.
United to go through to Champion’s League Finals. :”)
Catan later lah (lukas) when my connection goes ünlimited.
I’m listening to physical CDs on a physical CD player now. I feel so old-school..

WOW!
My 3G / HSPDA is very weak right now, only 1 bar.
But surprisingly, that means I can connect up to 30-40KB/s. That’s crazy.
Yeah, but still latency is an issue, I’m getting about 600ms pings to common sites.

But with nice speeds, I’m enjoying every moment of my Maxis 3G experience.

Will report back tomorrow for further evaluation.

Oh, today I finished my Marketing assignment (excel). Happy everything worked out well.

Great Man Utd win. Fletcher got unlucky with the red card, but its all part of a bigger plan. The winner of Chelsea / Barca will have one player excluded from the finals too. Fletch can help us with our Premier League aspirations 100%.

I am super impressed with Maxis 3G. I got connected to the HSPDA (3.6mbit) but the signal only 1 bar. I expected the worst, but I manage to peak at 130Kbytes/sec (1.2 mbit) and danced around in sessions of about 100Kbytes/sec averaging about 65Kbytes/sec over 15 minutes. That can even sometimes challenge Shitmix on a good day.

Of course you can’t torrent 100% on Maxis 3G unlike Shitmix, but hey, as a temp connection, this shit is WHACK!

Keep in mind my room is super duper deep indoors, and it has to pass through many layers of wall! If got antannae at roof, sure get higher consistent speeds. I went to DiGi yesterday and played with their 3G broadband in selected areas. Wow, the speeds rox… pure 1mbit weh, and decent latency. They use 3.75G, which is even more hebat, promising a theoretical max of 14.4Mbit/sec.

I got an old P3/500mhz rig. I plan to set it up as a private server of some sort. Will post details about this project soon.

A week + ago, I was talking about “finishing strong in life”. It doesn’t matter how you messed up your life. It is all about how you finish in life. I think Pastor Daniel Ho of DUMC preached about this issue. Its funny that I cannot remember the past weeks sermon, but when put into a situation, all the things I’ve heard suddenly come back to me now.

I found this in Lowyat Forums, “How to write complain letter to Telekom Streamyx”.

Got all sort of templates for different things. They also publish email address of key people, so you get faster response. If you’re facing problems, give this a shot! [link]

Have a nice day, everyone ;)
