Serious Considerations

When it was announced recently that the residential espeed has just gotten cheaper for 512kbps from B$98 to B$68, out of curiosity, I decided to browse the brunet webpage and see if the corporate espeed was also going down. Lo' & behold...have my eyes deceived me? Does it really read 3500kbps (3.5mbps)???? Is this true? I must inquire first thing tomorrow morning and once confirmed, my first agenda is to boost up my espeed to the max at 3.5mbps and cancel my lease line subscription which the company is paying at $350 for a measly 256kbps! Forget about the lease line consistency and it being a dedicated line, hey hey...my logic is leaning very heavily towards maximum output from espeed and despite it being a shared line with other users in its bandwidth pipeline, the positives simply outweighed the feasibility of keeping the lease line any longer. Out goes the lease line and in goes max espeed!

Just hope telbru upgrade it quick! I just can't wait to brace myself and test it. Like Mr Gadgetski always like to use my patented term...it must be super fiiiaaasst! Cheeeap cheeap lagi lah telbru!

Take a look for those interested in the new rates below. Strange...so far I have not heard it being advertised on the media.... ITS NO APRIL'S FOOL I TELLS YAH! Take a look....seerriously!

Proof of the pudding so to speak will be whether the actual speeds will be reliable and running at the speed as stated. So far the current 512kbps where I am has fluctuated/degraded to as bad a +100kbps bandwidth only. Actual download speeds have gone down as bad a +/- 1kbps. So in effect there is no change there other than like they're going back to 'ye olde' 128kbps at a pro rated cost.

What they really need to do is upgrade the current infrastructure. In conjunction with making it cheaper of course. We want our cake and eat it too you know!
