Just when I’m getting into my ‘uploading mode’, TMNet decided they want to screw with my mood. Weeks of crappy internet connection is bad for my rationality. After experiencing crappy datacapped internet plans though (that’s you Woosh Wireless!), I try to tolerate the crappy broadband. One good thing about this connection is that it’s unlimited. I can download and upload as much as I want. My Megaupload speed is wonderful although during this service interruption, it’s practically running on half the usual speed.
I’ve been wondering about this unsecured wireless network in my hometown. I wouldn’t be aware of its existence if not for my EEE PC. My Vaio could only catch 60% of it’s signal strength, and my Dad’s PC only up to 55%. My Asus connects to this mystery network easily at up to 95% signal strength. Even my DS goes at only 75% while playing Ragnarok Online DS. Any Kelantanese living in Pasir Mas, or anyone else happen to be here who’d tried using this wireless network? Video streaming is surprisingly fast. Updating and installing new applications for linux is fast as well.
Who owns this network, I wonder. Doesn’t seem like my neighbours’ XD
p.s/Something seems to be wrong with my HTTP Server. The FTP Server and Exim are working great. I have no idea why I had to restart the service twice in the past 48 hours.

My dad’s celcom broadband work pretty giffy, at least in Seremban. Hisyam’s Maxis broadband is not up to par in Rembau. Maybe you should relocate to state capitals for better internet
My brothers are using celcom and maxis broadband, and they said it’s kinda ok. Just slow when Skyping. Speaking of relocating… We may have to move in a few years time because of some highway project. I don’t know where to, though. It’s a pain thinking about moving when you’ve spent your childhood here (not counting all the traveling around)
