TM (Streamyx) and a nincompoop to make your day

Here's an article I took from Wikipedia:

TMNet has been criticised locally on a range of issues. This section outlines some of the criticisms faced by TMNet.

Speed & Reliability

Many TMNet subscribers have complained about the slow speeds and the general lack of reliability of connections provided. However TMNet’s terms states, like those of other ISPs around the world, that the service they provide is based on a "best effort" basis, meaning that connections are not guaranteed to perform at their advertised theoretical speeds. This is largely due to aging copper lines, insufficient bandwidth, low effort from TMNet and the overly high contention ratios. Customers’ frustrations have been further aggravated by recent aggressive marketing campaigns launched by TMNet to attract more subscribers.

Last Mile Monopoly & Lack of Competition

TMNet's parent company, TM Bhd., has a monopoly of the last mile connections. Unlike the EU, Malaysia has not passed any legislation for the unbundling of last mile connections. This gives little chance for other third party companies to compete with TMNet and has thus created an unhealthy business environment. It is believed that the unbundling of the last mile connections is key to enabling new ISP's to fill the nation's growing broadband demand.

However, the last mile monopoly has also forced the other companies like Maxis Communications to provide wireless internet access services. Prices for these services still remain relatively expensive.

Peer-to-peer connection throttling

TMNet performs bandwidth throttling on P2P connections, a practice that is opposed by a large portion of TMNet Streamyx users. TMNet claims that P2P users are overusing bandwidth, causing other users to suffer poor connections. However, a majority of users believe that P2P is not responsible for the lack of bandwidth and accuse TMNet of overselling their available bandwidth.

AND A MOTHERFUCKING DIPSHIT WHO THINKS HE'S A FUCKING SMARTASS.
We all know you acting all smarty pants is just a facade for your stupidity. BODO! BODO MACAM BABI!

On a much brighter side, it's nice to know that 'a herd of goats' is 'a school of kambing' and the plural of man is not only men but mans too. Thanks for lightening up my day.

Oh, and before I forget, I've got something to tell all the ladies. You all will like this and some would even love it.
Last week, Good Friday, I was involved in a minor car accident. I hit someone on the back. Totally my fault because I was driving fast.
You all may start laughing at me now.

Bukit Beruang: Overcrowded

Now, every day of my life, as long as I'm in Malacca, I hate the period between noon and midnight. During that period my internet connection gets disconnected several excruciating times. Once connected, the connection speed is unimaginably slow. So, what I do is I painstakingly keep reconnecting my internet connection until its speed is fast enough to load websites.
I'm not going to bitch about the people at TM because it's already a well known fact that those dumbfuck barnyard goats are incompetent dipshits. If someone close to you is working at TM, then he/she is excluded. Haha =P
I blame Bukit Beruang's non permanent residents that are starting to overcrowd the area. To be more specific, those motherfucking porno freak kids. They're sucking up all the internet bandwidth so that later on they can ogle at their pornofied monitors and perform mutual masturbations. You can tell that someone is a porno freak just by looking at his face. Here's an example:
Gahaha!

That's Aaron Lim, the owner of a hardcore motorcycle and a pair of dark purple underwear that scarred me mentally for life. He's not really into porn anymore but he still has the porno freak look. Wouldn't you agree?
I've been waiting for hours to download an album from Alesana, which is only 70.5MB in size. They look like a bunch of fags, I must admit, but their music is awesome.
If you see someone with the likes of Aaron, do all of us a favor by striking him down. However, do not strike Aaron down because he's a friend of mine.

Pros of BB being overcrowded: More chicks!, The area is developing. Did I mention more chicks? More chicks!
