The State of Broadband Landscape

Philip Khor — Tue, 24 May 2011 23:25:48 +0000

Editor’s note: I feel we need a guide to which providers to choose from, and to explain with technical details on the differences between the providers we have in Malaysia.

250511: What matters in Internet Speed

Let’s say down the foundations and facts for this argument of “how much speed do we need?” and “what metrics do we count speed by?” and “is your package good enough for you?”

A. Types of access

1. TM Net Streamyx – depending on when you signed up, you could be paying RM 88 for 1 mbit down 0.3 mbit upload or about RM 150 for 4 mbit down 0.5 mbit upload. Ping / Latency is usually under 50 ms for local servers. More on that later.

The Need To Shout It Out

Philip Khor — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:06:43 +0000

Update: The state of 4G [Ars Technica]

As a marketer, as an advertiser of a product or service, often times we have to shout out half-truths to sell our product. It is a fact. We do it seemingly quite often these days, ignoring the little prick from our conscience. Eventually it shapes our personality and individual actions towards one another. It is quite a scary thought.

What really grinds my gears is the public misinformation being spread by corporations nowadays which feeds on lack of knowledge on technical issues. Take 4G internet for example.

While Wikipedia acknowledges there are “loose usages” of this term, just like when 3G was first introduced, 4G cellular system “must have target peak data rates of up to approximately 100 Mbit/s for high mobility such as mobile access and up to approximately 1 Gbit/s for low mobility such as nomadic/local wireless access”.

Let’s explore some Malaysian companies claiming to have 4G.

YTL Wimax (July 2010)

P1 WiMax (Around for some time)

(We’ve seen izzi’s banners, all claiming 4G)

Now for some real world tests.

Some providers are able to provide milliseconds worth of “BURST” speeds. So you’re loading a 100Kbyte typical website, it will be done in no time at all. Great demonstration of technology and if you’re a client, of course you will be convinced. Other’s cheat by using special logins which uncap their lines and gives special priority privileges on traffic.

When you go home and start using it, you find out your coverage is not that good. Because many people are connected to the same network node in your area, there is congestion. Worst of all, there are bandwidth quotas which are quite miserable. (Although I must admit some other countries like Australia are far worst in terms of quota)

How about 100 megabit speed? Pipe dream.

Do you know that in America, there is a difference in standards between AT & T (iPhone) 3G and Verizon’s 3G? If we go with our 3G sets there, we have to hook on to AT & T as Verizon’s standard uses a different frequency NOT compatible with our phones.

Likewise with Wimax. Intel who ships Wimax chips on their laptops are going with 802.16m (802.11 a/b/g/n is Wifi) The other 3GPP standard, telcos like it. There is no love between these two. Kinda like twins separated at birth, same idea, different ideals.

LTE Advanced standardized by the 3GPP
802.16m standardized by the IEEE

Telekom Malaysia has long been guilty of false advertising.

When Streamyx started, it was 384kb/s “BROADBAND” speed for a long time. The acceptable industry standard back then was 1.5mbit. And we know the legendary problems TM faced during the initial phases.

Today we get 1 - 4 mb/s depending on how much we are willing to pay. Truthfully, we are at a pretty good state. Now we got to bring down “latency” from 400 ms to <200 ms to the USA. Personally, I prefer an ISP with extremely good latencies instead of “apparent 50 Mbit download speeds”.

In the words of Steve Jobs, “Click *boom*. Click *boom*.” That’s how responsive I want my sites to load.

Thank you very much!

First time you met her

Philip Khor — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 23:21:15 +0000

Remember the first time, that you met, her.

It started up with a dial-tone, a series of telephone keypad beeps, a pulsating fax-esque (hah, betcha can’t pronounce that!) tones, then it all begin.

The negotiation. Its kinda like two lawyer arguing, roaring at each other back and forth in a course tone. When the Grandfather’s clock chime twice, you know you’re half way through.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen. I’m talking about the internet!

My first experience was on a RM 10k Apple Macintosh G3, the pre-iMac one. It was blazing fast! We pumped up the RAM from 32MB, to a whopping 96MB. We felt god-like.

Back in those days, IDD phone calls were damn expensive. My sister, who was studying in HELP KL created an account for me, it was philipkhor38@hotmail.com . Only problem was, she forgot to drop me an e-mail!

I was at my friend Nicholas Thien @NTMJ house, login to my account. (while waiting for my mac to arrive from cupertino)

It was about RM 4 per minute IDD rate: “Eh, che (sister).. “send” liao boey?” During that time, I also changed my default password to a 6-letter “m” word that a lot of you might know! Ha ha ha…

Ah.. the days of IRC, and ICQ “uh-uh”!

One of my e-mails back in 2001, educating my friends about the severity of junk / chain mails. Even back then I was this geeky technocrat.

Subject: Re: ?
Heylo…..

Hmm… VERY SPENDID idea to SEND THIS JUNK CHAIN MAIL TO ME!

It may sound.. *ahem* sexy to send it out… but it’s CAUSING INTERNET TRAFFIC CONGESTION.

What I’m trying to say, is that, whenever you send ONE SINGLE MAIL to 13 different friends .. you ARE ACTUALLY slowing the Net down.

Here’s how. This e-mail is 33 K heavy! Your modem does 6K/s max. Basically, that’s 5 seconds of… web surfing, let’s say.. So, if you do the Maths, 5 seconds X 13 friends = 65 seconds of internet time surfing WASTED on your “CHAIN MAIL” forwarding!

Well, AT LEAST 13 friends x 33 K = 429 KiloBYTES (or 0.4 MB) of data traffic is wasted!

The main and bad intention of these CHAIN MAIL creators are simple. To PERSUADE “less informed” people to send this around the Net – at the same time, create what we call “Net congestion”. The INTERNET SLOWS DOWN.

PEOPLE’S MAILBOXES will be FLOODED with all these stuff. Hard Disk space is FILLED within hours (for E-mail providers such as Hotmail).

If chain mail is TOTALLY STOPPED, E-Speed (ADSL) could have been cheaper (Bandwidth is CHEAPER) and less servers are needed for people who FORWARD CHAIN MAIL… which in turn means LESS COST FOR EXPENSIVE SERVERS sending and receiving… CHAIN MAIL.

Of course, this is lovely and all but think twice before SPAMMING.

Love,
Pip

Oh, and “the rest” shouldn’t be happy that you “revealed” their addies to someone.

Sorry if these replies are… not nice.. but then..
Just telling ya da facts! =)

One more reason not to FWD chain mail is because E-mail addresses are REVEALED. If you look at what you’ve just sent, hundreds of e-mail addresses are seen. What if your chain mail falls into the hands of porn operators (yes, there are such people).. or even.. EVIL people who deliberately subscribe LOTSA porn to your e-mail address.

THIS IS HOW DIRTY STUFF GETS TO YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS..

STOP CHAIN MAIL NOW!

Sorry if u feel offended.

Pip

Oh, and I had the best e-mail addresses back then!

TM Net is pretty good

Philip Khor — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 23:01:23 +0000

Its been a common problem since the birth of DSL in Malaysia.

Everyone’s talking about it. Even kids in school says “TM Net sucks” before even knowing who they are!

Imagine the internet as the Federal Highway during rush hour. You got your Ferrari FXX, fuelled with V-Power to the brim ready to pedal to the metal! Well, you can’t.

Despite having the fuel (Data waiting to be downloaded), the vehicle (fast computer & servers on the other end), the limiting factor is the highway (internet pipe).

You see, internet bandwidth is VERY expensive. Even if you have one billion ringgit right now (that’s RM 1,000,000,000) you probably could buy yourself 2-3 pipes, each to Hong Kong and Singapore and one locally. Then what? You got lets say 3 x 100mbit of bandwidth at your disposal. And enough money to pay for the recurring data fees for 24 months. There goes a billion!

But you got to remember, the pipes only ship your data to these Point of Presence (POPs) or Internet Data Hotels. Beyond that, your data is at the mercy of the gods of the internet data handling and routing. Thankfully, the TCP/IP protocol has the intelligence to get your data all the way to its destination, with up to 30 hops. It travels through that much switches and servers before actually reaching the intended destination.

So why does Japan, Sweden, and dare I suggest, Singapore have uber fast internet connections?

1. Population density. Dense areas are ISPs wet dreams. The more people you can reach per square kilometer, the more people you can hook up to with minimal infrastructure costs.

2. Investment in technology. The telephone lines we are using are at least 50 years old technology. They may have been laid not long ago, but still, it is like the “Steam Engine” of computers from back then.

3. Management & Piracy. We are greedy people. When they say Unlimited internet access, it means we can waste. Because we paid for it! This model of all-you-can-eat internet access does not work anymore. Last time, it was okay because there wasn’t enough content. The only time we needed 1 megabit was downloading 10 MB patches. Instead of waiting 30 minutes, we get it done in 3 minutes. Nowadays everyone knows P2P, and ISPs are shitting bricks.

Once we solve problems 1-3, then we face the pricing issue. At RM 88 for 1mb/s, that’s DIRT CHEAP! Our ringgit is weak, so our bandwidth bidding power is also weak. Say Singapore is willing to pay higher for higher priority routing. They play WoW with Americans, getting 150ms… Malaysia only get 2nd choice bandwidth thus pushing our ping times to America to 250ms. Mind you, that’s not Transfer rate, rather the time for a frame of data to do a round-trip. That’s 67% faster than us!

If a Singaporean with 1mbit connection were set to do a set of common everyday task, like MSN, e-mail, Facebook and check the news, a 1 hour task would take a Malaysian 1 hour 45 minutes to complete just because of “latency”.

DSLreports.com is one of my favourite sites. It tells you the Broadband scene around the world. It has this cool feature that figures out where you are, and guesses your ISP and see what people are saying about this.

Our ISP is so slow they think its Wireless. Comment 1 is awesome. A “Wi-fi coffee shop” uses TM backbone. Comment 2, Dialup is hell, and he still wants that shit?

The most common problem is modem / computer settings.

Here’s a Pip Po Top Tip. If your friends complain of “slow internet access”, then them that they must be watching porn. When their computer is infested with malware, naturally it will bring down their internet access speeds!

P1 Wimax

Pippo — Fri, 15 May 2009 00:31:28 +0000

I got a brochure from this company selling WiMax in Klang Valley.

P1 Wimax, is it REALLY 42 times faster than dialup?

Ok, as we know, dialup is 56kbit/s, that is theoretically 8KB/s maximum. But lets put it at a real world 6KB/s performance. How does P1 WiMax stack up against good ol’ dialup!

Test A: Loading Google

Google is about 15KBytes of data. Simple maths would stipulate dial up can download it in under 3 seconds. Can P1 do it in 0.07seconds? Even to ping to google (malaysia) it would take about 0.07 seconds already, thats excluding downloading anything at all. I think we’re looking closer to 1.5 seconds. In which case, P1 is only 2 times faster than Dialup.

Test B: Loading CNN.com

CNN do not have local servers, but MIGHT have mirrors in Hong Kong. But lets say we’re connect to their server in the United States. And the site is 100 KB worth of images and media.

Dialup would take 17 seconds. Can P1 load it in 0.4 seconds as claimed by their brochure? Again, ping to USA would take 0.2 seconds, just to “find” the server.

Test C: MSN test

To send a message to a friend via MSN, it takes dialup exactly 1 second from pressing enter to appearing on a friend’s PC. Can P1 wimax make it 0.023 seconds? Faster than the speed of thought?

Test D: The 100 MB test

Downloading a 100MB file from a fast server. Ok, here, P1 might excel. My calculations show dialup will take about 5 hours. If P1 Wimax is able to deliver 2.4mbit full speed then it will only take 7 minutes. And yes, that makes it 42 times faster than dialup.

Ok, the speed tests are estimates but it does give a good idea on how fast the actual performance gains you will see.

In summary, P1 is not lying. They’re bloody fast.

But what does the number mean to you? Well, the above will really explain the TRUE picture.

On another note, I am designing and maintaining www.petroleo-services.com .. too bad my energi.my domain is not used. Any takers?

Pippo — Tue, 12 May 2009 23:43:04 +0000

I enquired about Masters programme in UTAR a year ago, and am in their mailing list.

Ok, firstly, its bad enough I’m receiving SPAM from you, but that I can filter and tolerate.

What I CANNOT tolerate is that you release my e-mail address to hundreds of people on the interweb. SCREW you UTAR. So in revenge, I hereby post out UTAR’s mailing list for the whole world to see.

I’m selling this list to TARGETTED SPAMMERS for RM 2 per active e-mail, I’m rich!!!!

iPhone 3G Magnetometer

Pippo — Fri, 08 May 2009 09:20:31 +0000

This is the crazy shit I was talking about. Its a new hardware called a magnetometer. It combines with GPS and Accelerometer to give you a 3D Compass. Imagine the possibilities [from Macrumors.com]

BoyGeniusReport posts a screenshot from debugging menus in the 3.0 beta firmware which seems to confirm that Apple has built-in magnetometer (digital compass) support into the operating system.

Evidence of a magnetometer was first reported in April and MacRumors has heard that the magnetometer will indeed be present in the next generation iPhone expected this summer. We previously explored what additional functionality would come with a digital compass. The possibilities were particularly intriguing:

Examples of how this could be used include pointing your iPhone’s camera at a building and the phone telling you what building it is by combining GPS, accelerometer and compass information. The iPhone could even overlay graphics and text on top of the image to provide additional information. Another application described is the ability to show information about stars and constellations simply by pointing your iPhone towards the sky.

All I can say is, WOW!

I guess the programmers at Cyberjaya are too bored, and have a funny sense of humor. Good job, guys =)
