Somebody has sabotaged mrs giggles blog about TMnut, because when I open the page, the text is all scribbled all over the place until it looks like garbage. Is it me or it's my browser acting up? I am using IE7 by the way.
it's look fine to me.. try firefox.. anyway here is the news...

Stupid Malaysian ISP finally comes clean!
People outside of Malaysia think I'm just using it as an excuse to avoid updating the site, but I really had a problem with stable Web connection since the last month. And finally, stupid crappy Malaysian ISP finally comes clean about the reason: they are throttling P2P bandwidth.
If they want to throttle P2P bandwidth because they don't want to spend money to increase their already too-small bandwidth, fine. Many ISPs in many countries are doing that. The thing is, these ISPs reduce the bandwidth by, say, 50%. Being a Malaysian company and therefore by Malaysian law run by idiots of the nth degree, TMNet however "throttle" P2P bandwidth by doing...
I don't what they do, to be honest, but they have succeeded in making my connection to hosts and servers outside of Malaysia completely FUBAR! If the connection is not as slow as a tortoise on its last legs, I cannot connect at all. It isn't just P2P that is affected - every kind of international connection is affected from simple browsing to using MSN to chat to someone outside of Malaysia! I don't know what the babboons in TMNet did but I suspect that they must have hired, as the norm, failed MARA scholars who couldn't read the English manual and just used the eeny-meeny-mo method to determine what buttons to press.
At least other countries have options. In Malaysia, there is only one ISP, which explains why it doesn't give a damn about the quality of its service.
My 1MB broadband connection is pretty much the pits, but the joke is, TMNet is offering now a 2MB broadband service. When they already admitted, after pressure from many people to come clean, that they could barely provide the bandwidth currently needed by the 1MB broadband client base. If this doesn't prove that TMNet is run by spastic babboons from Planet Dumb, I don't know what will.
1 people have flushed.
btw, thanks soulxtc for quoting me in your report.. hope those bugger in tmnet can see your article..
