We all know it’s not tmnet’s fault, but it’s tmnet’s ignorance that we’re all furious about. Slight drop in performance they said (read here) - and up until now, no further news from tmnet. Way to go…

Connection to international websites and online services are down to a crawl. Productivity is affected. Nowadays, the Internet is not just for fun (not just for idiotic girls to chat up michaelooi smiley ), people’s lives are depending on it!

Let’s start rallying support for monetary compensation to refund our streamyx bills! I bet they’ll say that the Internet access is just fine, except that accessing international sites are at snail’s pace. No way we’re gonna take that, Internet to us doesn’t just revolve around Malaysian networks!

Having to financially suffer a dip would very well teach tmnet not to be ignorant in terms of notifying its users and keeping them informed, and to be pro-actively involved in ensuring that the network in Malaysia doesn’t suffer such a big network slowdown again.

How on earth can we ever pitch to be a technology-centric country besides boasting what’s left of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC)? How on earth can we ever compete with countries like India to be a global or regional outsourcing hub when slowdowns like this can happen and drag on (perhaps until April 20 for the links to be fixed!)??

Would like to hear your opinion… please comment (and keep it clean okay?)

UPDATE: 5 mins after blogging this, my internet connection improved a bit - access to my site was really slow, but now it’s somewhat improved. Hmmm, conspiracy… smiley
