15Mbps Streamyx? Or Is It Streamyx is Improving?

Salam and hello all. We have already heard about the plan of High-Speed Broadband (HSBB) project that will be carried out soon which able broadband users in Malaysia to enjoy high speed broadband from 10Mbps and up to 1Gbps. Well, I’m not going to write any elaboration, comments, expectations and hopes regarding this next generation of broadband in Malaysia, but what I’m going to share with you is the screenshot below.

This is the screenshot of Streamyx 1Mbps Home Wireless Broadband package broadband speed test by SpeedTest.net and the test was done by my cousin today (13th November 2009) around 1.00 am. Do you see the download speed? What do you have across your mind now? Haha, I have no idea how this could be happened. By the way, you don’t have to worry because it happened only once. Haha! Several tests after above test have shown normal broadband speed around 1.4Mbps download and 0.48Mbps upload.

Even it happened only once, SpeedTest.net has calculated that, to download a movie of 800mb, it would take only 8 minutes of time. Great! I just wish we have that speed really soon and with affordable price. Even some rumors have said, the monthly subscription for 10Mbps broadband connection will cost you around RM500/monthly, I hope these rumors are wrong.

So, what would you say? Do write your views regarding this HSBB using the comment box below.

Well, until next entry. Bye!

Quick Updates

Salam and hello all. This is just a simple entry as a quick updates. Well, my one-week-limited holiday is going to end soon and I’m going back to Kuala Lumpur tonight. By the way, what most important is my final exam result for Semester 2 2008/2009 already came out and fellow Uniten students may check your result at your online info page now. My result so far is so-so since I have one more subject which currently has imcomplete grade. I need to consult with my lecturer for the grade to be finalized. I still don’t know the reasons behind this, but I hope I’ll get the answer soon as the special semester starts this Monday.

That’s all for now. I’ll update more soon and wait for my dedicated entry for Telekom Malaysia a.k.a TM and about Streamyx. I’ll share a story with you. Hehehe, so stay tuned ya! If you blur about what I’m talking about, you may dig into my previous posts before, and you might know about what I’m facing with TM and Streamyx.

The new Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (IE8)

Microsoft lately announced about this all new version of Internet Explorer which is version 8. Although its currently still in beta stage and available for download as a preview for web devolopers and designer, Microsoft was highlighted some of great features (nway it’s always said like that everytime of new version release.. LOL ) such as improved security, improved html ( what’s this? surfing web more faster? ) and others improved features from the previous version. Check details features of Internet Explorer 8 here.

Anyway, will you use it when the full version released soon? I don’t know how much improvement we will get from IE 8 since its still in beta stage and the second beta version expected to be released next summer. Talk about the previous version, i quite unsatisfied about IE 7 which for me there should need more improvement from Microsoft in security related issue, browsing speed and web compatibility. Why i said this is because i once got virus while using IE 7 and also slow browsing speed and some incompatibility while viewing some websites. I don’t know how to explain it technically but the browsing speed was differ when i surf the same website using Opera ( the best web browser, i think ). And i think Microsoft should improve this browsing speed so that it’ll give some new browsing exprience for their IE-user. Read more »
